My favorite photo from our family trip to the aquarium here in Copenhagen, Den Blå Planet, yesterday: a Victoria Crowned Pigeon (Goura victoria) hanging out in the rainforest.
(Many thanks to @sasajuric.bsky.social for the recommendation; we had a great time!)

Travel all booked for Goatmire Elixir!
It turned into a bit of a family trip to Copenhagen as well—happy to finally take my family to one of my favorite cities.

Off to South Korea 🇰🇷 tomorrow for ~2 weeks—on a tour with a load of US Taekwondo students (including my son), at least for most of it.

After about a month of discussions and interviews (thanks to many kind referrals—the tech job market is pure chaos right now), I’ve signed an offer with CargoSense.
