Today’s extreme close up #selfie comes from the always flattering change room at Mark’s (formerly known as Mark’s Work Wearhouse) while I was trying on a pair of pants.

I love the way Buttondown thinks deeply about the web: A newsletter-shaped-blog, or a blog-shaped-newsletter

Look I get why it might be attractive to have all your #podcasting eggs in one basket like this, but I really strongly advise against it based on past history of tech companies trying to be “the one”, only to have investors decide they need “the cash” more than they want to be “the one”.

Fresh hairdid for today’s #selfie a day for a year, day 6, Aug 23, 2025 edition.

A man with glasses and a beard is taking a selfie in front of a window, with a blurred sign in the background.

The realization that even when I don’t feel like taking a #selfie, I kind of have to (self imposed) if I’m going to do a selfie a day for a year.

We saw A Midsummer Night’s Dream at Shakespeare on the Saskatchewan and I highly recommend going if you have the opportunity in Saskatoon this summer. Lots of silly fun with winks to the audience and a great cast.

I think the best compliment I can pay to local pizza place Thirteen Pies is that every time I go there, I intend to take a picture or two of the food and drinks, but I always forget to take any pictures because I enjoy the food and drinks too much. Anyway, here’s the beer I had. 🍻

Important update for iOS or macOS users.

A great write up by Salma on getting started with the visuals of live streaming in general, plus some sweet Twitch specifics for anyone curious.

Playing a bit of Fortnite no mic or cam this time just me dying a lot. 😆 #twitch

I didn’t use this picture as my #selfie today because it felt like breaking the rules—but my youngest painted a picture of me on a lemon for my birthday brunch today and I think it’s a pretty good likeness honestly. 😆

A hand is holding a painted lemon with a face design, depicting features like eyes, a nose, and a mouth.

This is 49.

If shower beers exists, why not shower slurpees? 🤔

Open up a recording app of some sort and take a #selfie, 2025-08-18 edition:

“I’ve tried almost nothing and that hasn’t worked, so I guess it’s basically hopeless.” <—— my strategy for mental health struggles over the course of my life. 😆

Your semi-regular reminder that this is where my business name came from:

  • “off with the horns, on with the show”
  • “Midnight is where the day begins”
  • “A man makes a picture, a moving picture; Through light projected, he can see himself up close.”
