@maishsk To be fair, that would probably be the right candidate.

@WasatchSnow If I purchase the super duper premium version of OpenSnow does it come with cold weather?

@teafortillerman @forrestbrazeal Indeed. My favorite of the Narnia books.

While I prefer to read transcripts (I just prefer text to video - it's how I process), I agree with your premise. And people clearly agree with you: why would anyone bother to show up to a conference when you can get it all compressed into a tl;dr by a bot? Because the experience matters, and because people matter (which happens to be my keynote topic this afternoon at All Things Open! :-)

@forrestbrazeal "Further up, further in." I think about the meaning of that phrase all the time.

This 👇 plus the reality that no one actually wants custom everything. We tell ourselves this lie every few years (eg the Internet was supposed to create markets-of-one for music, literature, etc.). But the reality is we're social beings.

Why would anyone spend money buying apps when they could spend 10x that amount buying tokens and wasting their weekends building everything from scratch?

@_PhilCosta I think his foot was only a foot or two up in the air so...yes, but not when playing against us. ;-)

@rawsharktext The other part of that same miracle is that Christ really cared about people's well-being (including his mom's "petty" party needs). I think we largely get religion wrong a lot

@jfberke I wish! I think that Park City ridgeline is still pretty sparse, snow-wise. But I can't wait...

Happy first day of the ski season for all who celebrate.

While there's a foot or so on the snow stake right now, I think we have actually seen quite a bit more. Especially early in the storm, we had several periods where it snowed an inch or two before melting off. Then, we've seen quite a bit of additional melt-off/compaction since.

@cgaunerd @cra It's promising to be a big snow year, but also potentially a warm snow year (snow in large amounts at the highest elevations; less down lower). I hope that doesn't prove to be true. It will mean the resorts will be fine but my backcountry skiing will suffer a bit....

@cra It wasn't amazing skiing today, but it was good: you could string together turns without bottom feeding on rocks. Skied from the top of Supreme all the way back to the parking lot on continuous snow....

You don't realize how disorienting the Valley is until you move away. There's ethnic diversity but it's one big monoculture with every conversation dominated by tech. That can be good but it's also way too easy to lose your bearings on what normal (read: anyone that doesn't live in the Valley) people think/do

A great day. My @Oracle devrel team did great at @aiDotEngineer (with help from @lindavivah and @cloudwithraj ). Arsenal won 3-0 in the Champions League. And now I'm heading home to....

@__mharrison__ @Oracle @aiDotEngineer @lindavivah @cloudwithraj Actually, me neither. I was hitting my trail running stride and now...sigh. The reality is we don't want snow this early, anyway (PWL).

@MarcusForPeace @deedydas @slcairport I don't recommend it as a general rule, but SLC is very efficient (unlike EWR today, where they have zillions of carryon scanners but they had everyone funneled into a few lines, due to insufficient TSA resourcing). Not efficient at all....
