Shiny light at Palace Coffee in Amarillo, for day 12 of the photo challenge. Be kind. ☕️

Morning at Lamppost Coffee. As close to a ritual as I have, for day 10 of the photo challenge. ☕️

Worked this morning at Cuvée Coffee. Bags of coffee beans for today’s prompt “whole” on the photo challenge. ☕️

Solitude is coffee and a breakfast taco and my laptop, having the whole outside to myself for a little while. Lazarus Brewing. ☕️ (Also trying to do all my photo challenges in black and white for something new.)

Coffee and breakfast and coding at Either/Or. Love this boot glass. ☕️

A little morning work and coffee at Lazarus. ☕️

Productive morning fixing bugs, reviewing logs, answering email. Sometimes lots of small things feel like more forward momentum than the big stuff. ☕️

Hi Austin! 👋 We’re having a Micro Meetup today with @jean in town. We’ll be at Lazarus Brewing on 6th between 4pm - 6pm. Anyone’s welcome to stop by! ☕️🍺

It’s been a while since we’ve had an in-person Micro Meetup! Join me and @jean for a coffee or beer or tacos at Lazarus Brewing on East 6th in Austin. Wednesday, January 4th. We’ll be there 4pm - 6pm. ☕️🍺

Java Square Cafe, in the building for an old bank in Opelousas, LA. ☕️

It was nice to mostly take a break yesterday. I know Thanksgiving is just a United States thing, but I like that it’s non-offensive to everyone… Let’s just chill and reflect on what we’re thankful for. Now back to work! Coffee at Rêve in Lafayette and rolling out M.b fixes. ☕️

An appropriately cold day in Austin. Coffee and server troubleshooting while the rain falls outside. ☕️

Slowly settling into a new routine back in Austin. Walking up to Lamppost Coffee every morning. In suburbia, no one walks anywhere unless they are walking their dog or exercising. Always feels a little weird. I love the quiet, but sometimes miss… people. ☕️

Coffee and overnight oats at Cat & Cloud. Great start to the workday. ☕️

Continuing this vanlife adventure into the northwest, I’m at Coffee Girl in Astoria catching up on email and whatnot. I haven’t been brave enough to get out the camping stove in the rain and cold, so no feasts yet, just basic groceries and some fast food. ☕️

Out of the house this morning for errands, a break for a little while at Epoch Coffee on Anderson Lane. A Day in the Life in Austin, 8:15am. ☕️

From this morning, coffee at Stinson’s. Looking at this photo, the text almost looks like a digital overlay. But no, the obnoxious TM is there in real life. ☕️

☕️ Iced coffee time.

The secret to getting feature requests immediately implemented in Micro.blog is to send them to be 5 minutes after I sit down with my coffee. ☕️

Houndstooth on MLK. ☕️

I checked out Irie Bean Coffee for the first time and… people smoking cigarettes on the patio? Ashtrays? Like I had stepped back in time to 1990s Austin. They don’t care about your hipster third-wave coffee shop ambience and I kind of respect that. ☕️

Seems like I’ve been in and out for 2 weeks, both vacation and unexpected travel. Even though I can always check in with work from anywhere, it’s not the same as having an uninterrupted day. Back at my desk this morning, iced coffee in hand, ready to catch up. ☕️

Love the glasses at James Coffee Co. ☕️

Stopped in Corsicana for a coffee and world-famous fruitcake to go. I don’t even love fruitcake, but I’m fascinated with the Collin Street Bakery history. Next up need to watch the Fruitcake Fraud documentary. ☕️

Wrapping up another quick trip to Denton. Breakfast earlier at Avoca Coffee. ☕️

Morning coffee. Updating a README. Catching up on email. Hope everyone out there in internet land is having a nice weekend. ☕️

First time back to Red Horn in a year. ☕️

First time at Cosmic Coffee, in south Austin after selling a car at Carvana. Great outdoor space. ☕️

West Oak Coffee Bar from over the weekend in Denton. ☕️

Murals outside Aura Coffee. Protect kids not guns. ☕️

Try hard. ☕️

Avoca Coffee in Denton. ☕️

Good morning! Busy day but first a little work and coffee. ☕️

Morning everyone. Coffee and work outside at Cenote. ☕️

Raining a little this morning. Coffee at Lazarus. ☕️

Bouldin Creek Cafe. ☕️

Thunderbird Coffee. Kind of cold outside this morning. ☕️

Lots of work to do this morning. Trying to start the week right with coffee and breakfast tacos. ☕️

On the road today, stopped at Pinewood Coffee in Waco. Nice outside courtyard space. ☕️

The last time I was here (Wright Bros Brew & Brew), you could park across the street because it was just a dirt parking lot next to the train tracks. Now it’s a Whole Foods and Target. ☕️

New Spurs mural on east 4th. Getting coffee around the corner at Wright Bros. ☕️

Cold morning in Portland, walked to Extracto Coffee before we get ready to set up for Micro Camp day 2. ☕️

Getting some work done between errands today. Easy Tiger. ☕️

I’m torn between thinking we have enough emoji already but really wanting an iced coffee emoji. 🥤 and 🧋 are not quite right, so I use ☕️ which is also wrong.

New year, new coffee. Stopped at Palace Coffee in Canyon, Texas. Cool old building from 1906. ☕️

Old oak trees at Merit Coffee on South Lamar. The house also has a historical marker — built around 1900 by sisters who were teachers and then real estate developers. ☕️

Coffee and work on a few random Micro.blog backend things. I tweaked how publishing works to squeeze a little more performance out of it. ☕️

Misty, rainy day in Austin. Tried to work at Summer Moon but a guy nearby was sniffling and coughing. Even outside I couldn’t tune it out and had to leave. Stay home if you’re sick, people! 🌧

Christmas tree and stained glass at Lazarus Brewing. Coffee and work on the macOS app this morning. ☕️

The morning did not go as planned but it’s all good now. ☕️

In San Antonio for the afternoon. Working outside at Halcyon. Cool but sunny, about 65°… Not winter-y enough for me to switch to hot coffee yet. ☕️

My favorite space to work outside when I’m downtown. Coffee at Lazarus Brewing. Mosquitos seemed to have finally left me alone too. ☕️

Life ain’t nothing but a good groove. Coffee outside at the square in Denton. ☕️

Wonderful cool weather in Austin continues. Sitting outside working at Patika on South Lamar. Hoping to wrap up some text editor improvements in Micro.blog. ☕️

Starting the morning with coffee and breakfast tacos at Lazarus Brewing. Great space with lots of outside seating too. ☕️

Quiet morning on the UT campus because no classes. Working for a bit at Lucky Lab Coffee before walking around for the next mural photo. ☕️

For day 2 of visiting 30 murals in 30 days, I’m in south Austin. Picked up coffee at Mañana first but it was too crowded to stay to work. ☕️

Butterfly joining me at the coffee shop. Working outside for a bit after an appointment nearby. There’s a new Summer Moon in Steiner Ranch. ☕️

Walked around Mueller this morning. Working at Halcyon for a little while. ☕️

Houndstooth Coffee at The Domain. ☕️

Absolutely nothing was on my calendar today. No reminders. No events. No errands to run. Woke up early and working at Lamppost Coffee on Micro.blog server maintenance… because apparently that’s the exciting stuff I do on my day off? ☕️

Working at the coffee shop. Looked up and realized it was pouring rain outside. ☕️

This has been the morning routine this week. Picking up coffees at Ebenezers for our last day in DC. ☕️

Another road trip day. Stopped for coffee in Baton Rouge. ☕️

Happy that last night’s maintenance went smoothly — about twice as fast as expected. I had disabled photo upload during the downtime to minimize confusion. Up early, dropped the car off for service, then picked up coffee at Lamppost and walked back home. ☕️

Was up early and decided to go get coffee and breakfast tacos. Maybe too early: coffee place hadn’t gotten their food delivered yet. No problem, went to cheap drive-thru… but they were out of potatoes. First-world breakfast problems. The coffee is delicious so I’m still happy. ☕️

Picked up a to-go iced coffee from a new place that opened up recently: Lamppost Coffee off 183. I visited another location back in 2016 for my 30 days of coffee shops. Haven’t had coffee outside the house in a couple weeks so this small thing feels like a treat. Happy Monday. ☕️

Morning beverage. Cold brew and oat milk. ☕️

Earlier today, stopped for coffee while on the road.

Picked up Summer Moon drive-thru this morning. Getting a bunch of work done on final Micro.blog 2.0 wrap-up and Sunlit 3.1 testing. ☕️

Went to a local coffee shop for the first time in a while to pick up a to-go coffee. Still uncomfortable with the number of people inside. Not ready to bring my laptop, but for places with outside seating I can start to imagine it. ☕️

Abandoned tracks downtown near the new library, as we walked back from Juan Pelota earlier this afternoon. ☕️
