The Great Communicator @hikenwoodwork@social.cleverlibre.org

It never fails to surprise me how many people are like "I'm a software engineer, I work all day with embedded systems and C and compilers and R and high level analysis of big data and statistical reporting on metadata trends.... and also I do #woodworking using 18th century hand tools because fecking computers, y'know?"

Literally, walk into a room with ten engineers, and three of them can probably cut a decent dovetail if they don't dream of building an entire dresser from cherry and walnut.

It’s heartening to scroll through legions of interesting people and posts here. #introduction follows: I enjoy #woodworking without electricity, #flyfishing (and tying), #hiking around forests to find mushrooms and learn names of plants/trees, playing #boardgames, and reading (mostly #scifi and #fantasy genre). My day job is managing a website. I advocate for the #openweb, #opensource, #rss, and #privacy to anyone who will listen to me.

Here is my obligatory #introduction.

I’ve worked in the fields of #science and #engineering for over two decades. My degrees are in mechanical engineering, but I’ve spent many years both professionally and recreationally crossing over into the computer science realm when it intersects with my interests and projects.

I’ve been a #Linux user since the mid-90s, and I’ve been paid to admin Linux and Unix number-crunching boxes, including Irix, HP-UX, AIX, and other fun OSes that either don’t exist anymore or you probably haven’t heard of.

I enjoy programming, especially #Python, #Golang, and #Julia, although I’ve used another dozen or so languages along the way, everything from FORTRAN to Perl and TCL to Haskell (and lots in between). I’m an electronic hobbyist, and you may find me tinkering with #RaspberryPi and #Arduino boards.

My technical interests also include #woodscience, #mathematics, #numbertheory/#numericalmethods, #statistics, #datascience, #sliderules, and #TeX.

I like making things, so my hobbies include #watercolor, #drawing, #woodworking and #blacksmithing. I also love #books and reading, with a proclivity towards #history, #art, #religion, #BiblicalCriticism, #scifi, #fantasy, and classical #literature.

I like to listen to and play #music. I play #guitar and dabble in lots of other instruments. My favorite styles of music are #folk, #celtic, and #Americana, but I enjoy a diverse mix of genres, so you might catch me listening to Cat Stevens and Tom Lehrer one day and Johnny Cash and Eminem the next.

I love #nature, mountains and oceans, #hiking, and #birding. I like to #travel to new places, see new things, and experience the local food and culture. Speaking of #food, I like to #cook.

I also like gaming, especially on my #Nintendo #Switch and #Steamdeck.

There are many #introductions but this #intro is mine.

I'm a professional technical #generalist. I write #code, read code, research, discover problems, and develop solutions.

Been in some form of the computer industry starting in 1995. It's what pays the bills: Career trajectory was #dialup ISP #helpdesk ➡️ Corporate IT ➡️ firewall/IDS analyst ➡️ CERT/SOC #Technical #Leader ➡️ Cisco Talos Technical Lead ➡️ currently at Netography, solving security/threat monitoring through #Netflow.

For fun/enrichment/growth: I dabble in making #DJ mixes, #woodworking, #3dprinting /CAD, #circuit design, #music production, studying #Japanese language & culture, a little bit of a #coffee snob learning #latte art, I love to cook, and I make a bangin margherita #pizza.

Making a hashtag post of some of my interests and expertise (or lack thereof): #synths #punk #siouxsie #fania #vinyl #ttrpgs #boardgames #analoggames #videogames #mechanicalkeyboards #keebs #woodworking #contentmoderation #socialmedia #internet #history #film #almodóvar #elpaísvasco #lepaysbasque #travismcgee #adidas #hardware #modularsynthesis I dunno lots of other stuff.

This may interest @trib and other #woodworking / 21th century renaissance types. My bedside reading these days is this awesome québécois popular woodworking intro book published in 1950 that belonged to my grandad, then passed on to my dad and now to me. A very satisfying and useful read: The zombie apocalypse may come... I ll rebuild with my dear handtools and this great little book.

A #CuttingBoard I made from Padauk, Purpleheart, Walnut, Honduran Mahogany, and Hard Maple. I tend to make cutting boards in small batches which is why my #workbench is adorned with several different in progress pieces.

#WoodWorking #Making

If anyone is a fan of fine #woodworking and epic projects (like restoring a gorgeous 100 yo gaff cutter), I commend to you this tale, a cinema-graphic master class with plenty of drama and laughter, a fine cast of characters (coalescing around a good bloke called #Leo & the Tally Ho), & a cracking soundtrack: https://invidious.snopyta.org/channel/UCg-_lYeV8hBnDSay7nmphUA/videos This epi is a couple years in. If you want to start at the beginning: https://invidious.snopyta.org/watch?v=4FhTu3aGM60 It only took me the first couple episodes and I was hooked.

Looks like #MedMastodon is the new #medtwitter - quite the learning curve here 😂

Starting the morning in the hospital today, doing some post it note reverse teaching. Each student needs to write one clinical pearl that he (both dudes today) learned from the morning whilst seeing or reading about his patient. Needs to fit on a post it. Let’s see if I can learn something new. Or at least encourage some learning in bite sized pieces.

#introduction

As noted in Bio- I’m a Burn & Trauma surgeon, Surgical Intensivist, and filmmaker / artist. Special interests in resident & medical student #education , video education, and #PoCUS , for which I am the physician PoCUS lead at my institution. Happy to see a platform that’s supportive with fellow medical professionals! #MedMastodon #medtwitter

Just followed a bunch of folx on #medmastodon! Happy to find community here! #elonmuskisatroll

@joshtpm

For me, the only reason I was on Twitter was #MedTwitter. So I googled "Med Mastodon" and found my server/people/instance 😀 #MedMastodon

This kinda feels like we all ran away from home and found a fun party. #MedMastodon

Hi #MedMastodon. I'm an Assistant Professor and Canada Research Chair in emerging viruses at the University of Manitoba. My lab studies the circulation, transmission, and pathogenesis of emerging zoonotic viruses. We focus primarily on Ebola virus, monkeypox virus, and SARS-CoV-2. Currently overwhelmed with a new international #monkeypox program but will try to keep up to date around these parts

Evening #MedMastodon

Some updates: As we pass 2,000 #MedMastodon members, our community is on track to double in size again - for the 3rd day in a row! Excited to see so many familiar faces!

So far the servers seem to be tolerating the load without breaking...too much.🤞

To celebrate, I've also made more custom emojis:
anesthesia
bone
laryngoscope

As always, please share feedback & suggestions!

Hey, #MedMastodon 👋🏽 I’m a pulmonary and critical care doc at Mass General in Boston. I research mechanisms of pulmonary vascular #thrombosis and pulmonary vascular dysfunction in #ARDS. I also study acute and chronic pulmonary complications of #COVID and co-direct our Pulmonary post-COVID clinic. I mostly post about science and medicine, but I’ve been known to repurpose memes about prestige TV to highlight the absurdity of our times. Look forward to seeing how this community grows!
