It&#39;s Global Big (bird) Day! An excuse to go hang out in one of my favourite spots before the baseball game. (And, no day is complete without some blue jays!)

Based on my regular home play from the couch, pretty sure that my signature form of Jeopardy! question if I ever got on the show would be, &quot;Is it...?&quot; 😅

It&#39;s strange having client docs work that&#39;s *not* open source, so I don&#39;t know how public to be. 😅 But, if you happen to know whose docs I&#39;m helping... just published a batch of small but strategic sidebar nav &amp; onboarding changes to usher in the weekend that (I think) make a HUGE difference. 💪

I had LONG given up hope of having any hits on my &quot;Sony RX10V&quot; search/alert, but yet, here we are. (When you buy a whole bowling alley, WHAT&#39;S ONE LITTLE NEW BIRDING CAMERA in comparison, right??)

It&#39;s in the paper, so I guess it&#39;s official now! See you soon, Manitoba! It&#39;s been a minute... #5pinbowling #Manitoba #Westman

The @astro month-end blog post and newsletter have been drafted! If you&#39;re not subscribed (to either/both), now&#39;s a good time: https://astro.build/newsletter/signup/ - Just a tiny taste to whet your appetite. A handful of news items, and your monthly &quot;Top 10&quot;. https://astro.build/rss.xml - The full 8-course meal! (Too big?? NEVER!) Put on your stretchy pants and dig in!

It&#39;s not even 8:00 a.m. and I&#39;ve already teared up twice watching various Blue Jays news and media. I&#39;m gonna be a hot mess tonight. 🐦⚾ #BlueJays #BlueJays50

There&#39;s way too much streaming, in way too many time zones, to keep track of today! #ATmosphereConf is 4hr diff, our provincial youth bowlers at nationals (Joe is coaching!) 3 hr diff, and Blue Jays 1h, had to carefully map out my day from multiple schedules, all written in a diff, &amp; not my, time.

Oh no. I do not need to be given ideas... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oiKMmEHBqVY

I haven&#39;t made the time yet to write about contributing *a cappella* to open source, but at least I now have another example to use when advocating for the opportunities for and importance of contributions beyond code! (Should open source projects have *jingles*??)

First robin sighting of the year in the backyard! (We do have year-round robins, but they tend to be sneakier in winter and are more in the forest than backyards.) I, also, have been sneakier this winter and exploring some big life changes... so, taking this as a sign of avian solidarity! 🐦‍⬛

Why no, I have no idea why LumaFusion keeps crashing on my Android tablet.

That thing where your crows wonder why you&#39;ll rush outside to photograph the eagles flying overhead, but don&#39;t pay specific attention to them. After four &quot;hello&quot;s, I came out with peanuts. (This is an older video, but we have regular &quot;Hello Crows&quot; in the backyard.)
Post #2077447
Wow, applying some of my own advice to my own writing *really* makes a difference. I should do this all the time! 😂

RE: https://fosstodon.org/@biomejs/116517012527864325 Looking forward to working with @yanthomasdev to devote some love to the @biomejs docs so they better serve the entire community: readers, contributors, reviewers, and maintainers!

Even if you didn&#39;t catch the start, it&#39;s never too late to hop into @viteconf ! We&#39;re a few hours in, but the 12 hour stream will immediately repeat. So you can join at any time and just keep watching. Join us at https://viteconf.org/live #ViteConf
Post #2041977
OK, getting ready to start the 2nd run at the top of the hour! Jump in to https://viteconf.org/live if you missed the first showing. The full 12 hours of talks is about to start over from the beginning again, and... I&#39;m still awake! Will I make it the full 24hrs?? You&#39;d better come join the chat and find out/help me!

In the last 3 weeks we&#39;ve had *18* &quot;help wanted&quot; issues in the docs repo closed by community-submitted PRs, &amp; it feels pretty darn sweet! It&#39;s like my ViteConf talk &quot;Docs as Community Building&quot; isn&#39;t just hot air: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mWK3Y_1kmaM&amp;list=PLqGQbXn_GDmnObDzgjUF4Krsfl6OUKxtp

My ViteConf 2024 talk is now out as a standalone video! Was really honoured to be able to share the stage with so many great speakers, and share some tips for building an open-source community through documentation! Check it out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MK4s-P3kqyA

Watching a bunch of &quot;how to hem your own pants&quot; tutorials on YouTube and maybe the best advice so far: &quot;If anyone is looking that closely at your hem, you don&#39;t need them in your life.&quot;

OK, not the *main* story of the day... but, the v6 major upgrade guide (and several brand new or revamped docs) was a BIG part of Team Docs life for months. A lot of us worked on it. I hope it works for you when you upgrade! (And if it doesn&#39;t... well, that&#39;s just an opportunity to contribute yourself!) https://mastodon.social/@astro@webtoo.ls/116205992498151408

Forgive me, gonna do some shameless posting of nice things people have said elsewhere because a) aww.... and b) you might not realize that I&#39;m open to fun, meaningful, *scoped and short-term* projects where I can help you help your docs/community/org! Not &quot;hiring&quot;? No problem! Maybe you just need someone to stay until the wind changes...

A bittersweet end to an exciting launch week! Today was my last day as Astro Docs Lead. I&#39;m so proud of the docs our community made, &amp; honoured I had the chance to lead them. I&#39;m open to new adventures in docs, education, or community leadership. So, if you&#39;ve liked learning, using or contributing to Astro, or just being a part of our community... maybe part of that came from me! And maybe I can bring that to your project, or a project you know!

🎨 As we&#39;re getting closer to the release of Astro v6, @astro and Starlight core maintainer Hideoo takes us on a trip down memory lane... with a new Starlight theme which is heavily inspired by the timeless design of the legacy Astro documentation. (For the record, this is the only Astro Docs theme I recognize. Purple and orange, or it didn&#39;t happen.) Get it at https://starlight-theme-vintage.netlify.app/

One of these days, I won&#39;t be able to keep up with the amazing @astro community... but I live to fight another month! https://astro.build/blog/whats-new-february-2026/
