They paved paradise and put up a parking lot and a high rise and more home developments and a high school maybe a gym or pool and stuff.

#Selfie a day for a year, day 44, Oct 1, 2025 edition.

Seflie of me with a hat, beard, and glasses standing in front of a field with a dump truck and diggers clearing and moving dirt around.

“Just wait until you hear how all those quotes from Jane Goodall were taken out of context.” - Hour two of a Joe Rogan podcast I assume??

New blog post: I’m Doing it All Wrong - #Podcast Edition

Orange shirt for today’s #selfie a day for a year, day 43, Sep 30, 2025 edition.

A man in glasses and an orange shirt with floral designs is sitting outdoors by a wooden fence.

I don’t know what we should all be doing, but I don’t think scrolling timelines with a president declaring war on his own cities right next to tech bros reviewing iPhone 17s is the way.

Today in Canada it is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

Monster by Dennis Saddleman is a deeply moving poem about the pain and trauma of residential schools in Canada, as well as the healing power of forgiveness that can change the soul of a monster.

It’s my #Selfie a day for a year, day 42, Sep 29, 2025 edition.

A person wearing glasses holds a patterned mug of coffee, smiling, while seated in a cozy environment.

The tech purchase I regret the most over the last 5 years is buying a Mac mini with only 256GB of storage for my kids to use. The couple hundred dollars I saved has been more than eaten up by time spent going through files and apps every few months to clear up space.

I missed a day. 😬 What happens to the space time continuum?

#Selfie a day for a year, day 41, Sep 28, 2025 edition.

A person is illuminated with purple light from an LED panel, wearing glasses and a neutral expression.

It’s weird and just a little suspicious how both TikTok and YouTube Shorts have settled on 200-300 views as the normal amount of views a video gets unless it goes crazy viral.

They probably have a “Stop! This isn’t getting traction.” setting around 200 views.

New (to me) feature on YouTube: the ability to reply to a comment with a Short is super handy for tech support or community building on YT. (TikTok has had this for a while now.)

A Timmies lunch with one of my kiddos for today’s #selfie a day for a year, day 39, Sep 26, 2025 edition.

Pro tip: If your donut has icing on top, make sure to tear open the bag right away otherwise half the icing sticks to the bag.

A person with glasses and a smiling emoji face over another person are enjoying fast food inside a car.

I know the spambots wouldn’t respect it, but it’d be sweet if there was a podcastguesting:yes/no tag in the RSS spec so you could say “we’re not open to random solicitation for guests on our podcast.” So much spam emails about guest opportunities for someone’s boss who wrote a book.

My brother-in-law has a sweet tutorial video + pattern for making a Kpop Demon Hunters inspired Saja Boys Style Hat that you can start now and have it ready in time for your kid (or you) for Halloween.

Just in case your brain is like mine and still thinks we just barely entered September, this Wednesday it’s October 1st.

I hate it but that “ok let’s goooo” audio meme is such an ear worm.

Remember to stay hydrated and not trip over your sleeping dog.

I’m doing a #selfie a day for a year, day 38, Sep 24, 2025 edition.

A man with glasses is holding a drink and looking at the camera while a white curly-haired dog lies on the floor beside him.

Happy #Survivor is back on to all who celebrate! Every season I think it’d be such a fun show to do a podcast on, but inevitably with life + kids + stuff it’s too difficult to keep up with a live show like that.

I finally remembered to take my #selfie earlier in the day because my coffee is hitting just perfect today. 😋

I’m doing a selfie a day for a year, day 37, Sep 24, 2025 edition.

A selfie of me holding a mug of coffee with a satisifed? look on my face. I’m a white dude with glasses, beard, and a slightly wrinkled t shirt on.

Anyone using #Raycast and their snippet tool that can help me out? I’d love to incorporate a “days since…” calculation so my daily selfie snippet could just insert how many days since I started doing it automatically, but I can’t seem to figure out a way to do it.

Screenshot of a Raycast window open to a snippet editor with “Selfie a day for a year, day ?, Sep 24, 2025 edition.” as the text and sself as the command to trigger it.
