Running a business that earns mostly in USD but has mostly CAD expenses makes it hard to quickly calculate a profit and loss statement and tell if I’m actually making money. 😪

If I brought in $5,000USD in June—what was that in CAD by the time it hit my bank account? #overthinkingbrain

Question for the dog owners: I see dog beds for sale at Costco, etc. but our dog, Neville, almost always prefers to lay on the tile. Is a dog bed a waste? Plus he’s got FOMO so I don’t know if he’d ever use it. (We crate him at night.)

Here’s the YouTube edit of my conversation with Tim yesterday about pricing services like podcast edits or web projects. It’s been fun to talk and recognize the 15+ (?!) years of experience I’ve had working with clients, always learning new things with each one.

I went for a walk and while taking this picture, Neville 🐶 almost broke my arm running after a bird.

wtf Jets? I know you’re missing a couple folks, but still. Yikes. #NHLPlayoffs

I’m live now on Twitch talking with Tim about pricing creative projects - we might even try taking a few callers if the tech behaves.

I don’t know if this Tampa realtor is doing well selling houses with her TikToks, but it’s certainly an interesting choice. 😆

I updated my blog post with the reply I got from Tim Sweeney. I doubt I’ll get anything from Tim Cook. 😆

I just tried installing Whiskey to be able to play Steam games on my Mac. I guess the 18(!) year old developer is stopping development on it for now.
