Apple advertising on Twitter again is gross.

“It’s cold enough I bet you could freeze some water out there.” is not something we ever say around here.

A weather app screenshot shows Saskatoon with a temperature of -35°C, extreme cold warning, and partly cloudy conditions with varying temperatures from -28°C to -23°C.

My throat is a little sore tonight which I’m sure is unrelated to the sickness three people in my family had over the last week.

What are the odds I’d get sick too? 🤷‍♂️ 😢

Turns out Neville’s a big Severance fan.

One of those times when reading to one of my kids before bed and the book is so good I don’t realize they’ve fallen asleep.

Have to re-read the last chapter tomorrow night I guess.

Photo of a page from Station Eleven: No more Internet. No more social media, no more scrolling through litanies of dreams and nervous hopes and photographs of lunches, cries for help and expressions of contentment and relationship-status updates with heart icons whole or broken, plans to meet up later, pleas, complaints, desires, pictures of babies dressed as bears or peppers for Halloween. No more reading and commenting on the lives of others, and in so doing, feeling slightly less alone in the room. No more avatars.

Caught a WHL hockey game tonight (Saskatoon Blades beat the Regina Pats). The main attraction at any hockey game is actually the food, of course. The poutine didn’t disappoint. 😋

If we could get a week of -15C instead of -30C, that’d be awesome for everyone. 🥶

I complain about going to my kid’s hockey games, but I actually do enjoy (most of) it. I’m glad he’s on a team that takes a chill approach to winning or losing, but still wants to play well and get better. Which makes the community of parents fun to be around as well.

It’s still dang cold sometimes.

I’m live now on Twitch or YouTube setting up a podcast feed for audio posts for my blog. Come hang out and ask any q’s you have about podcasting or winters in Canada. 🥶

Cool - the developer of Balatro is from my province, Saskatchewan, here in Canada. And the game only exists thanks to the harsh prairie winters we get. 😆

I’m going to be live streaming this afternoon talking about setting up a podcast feed for audio posts for my blog (1:45pm CST / 2:45pm EST), so feel free to join on Twitch or YouTube.

Good coffee + good blog post by @Annie:

I have a problem with anyone pretending to be a gray-toned, one-sided cardboard cutout in order to appeal to us, the consumers, via full-color visual and verbal digital representations.

Alright winter that’s quite enough snow for the season. I’m going to have to start storing it in my garage pretty soon.

If you’ve ever watched (or heard) Jason Lengstorf, you know what this sound is. 😉 He’s got the best, most infectious laugh in tech.

The way the USA is destroying decades of good will around the world by letting Musk / Trump destroy USAID is mind boggling. You can debate how much aid the USA gives to other countries, but just destroying it overnight is cruel, inhumane, and vile.
