US home visit

Finally got my hands on the physical copy of my favorite childhood picture of myself and took a good scan.

I was so happy to be back at my favorite yoga practice in the world, on my favorite class night, hearing my favorite words again, now painted on the walls as the practice flourishes just like these flowers.

I had to, of course, get a haircut with my favorite Kalamazoo barber, Joey in Studio 3/31.

US home visit

I had an incredibly bad day of travel, where my first connecting flight was cancelled, resulting in rebooking that didn’t go through correctly, missing the baggage drop cutoff by the time the rebooking was corrected, having to pay 3200€ to have things rebooked, my bag being left behind in Germany due to tight connections, my last connection being delayed until the next day at 7am, requiring me to sleep at the airport with an airport-provided cot, throw blanket, and tiny pillow with a disposable medical cloth case… but I made it home.

KiMu™

I have been creating a lot of tools to help me with my job recently, but also to learn digital autonomy and keep my and my company’s data locally.

I created the page KiMu™ so that you can access all of these tools loaded directly through my website!

go-live tools

• DCS Visualizer: enter .csv instrumentation data in chronological order and get a dynamic plot. An easy and responsive alternative to Excel or PowerBI. Add unlimited axes, hide/unhide axes & series, change series by color, line style & markers, nomenclature, and even calculate new series from two existing ones. PNG plot generation with bottom or side mounted legend. Export & import session option to save your data+manipulations for later or sharing. This tool was generated with ChatGPT with my prompts.
