I still remember the chills I got when we walked around that corner and saw the entrance to Black Spire Outpost. I don’t know when we’ll feel comfortable going back to the States again, but I hope every Star Wars nerd gets to experience it someday. #maythefourth

People are walking towards a rustic, science fiction-themed entrance of Black Spire Outpost on the Planet Batuu in Disneyland, California.

Someone kept trying to join a group #Fortnite game last night who’s on my Epic Games friend list, but because of username confusion, I have no idea who you are and you didn’t have voice going. 😆 Feel free to DM me or get in touch somehow if that’s you? 😆 🕹️

The Jets are going to make this night as painful as possible, aren’t they? 😠 #NHLJets

I will not suffer any Star Wars hate this month, especially inside #Fortnite. 😆

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

🔔 Tim and I are going to be chatting about something… podcast editing, websites, taxes, something? - Join us in an hour 1:45pm / 3:45pm EST on Twitch.

Blue’s coach Jim Montgomery is an ass for claiming any knowledge of how and when Scheifele was hurt. No wonder the Blues are playing like a bunch of goons. #NHLJets

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

I don’t know why it works one game and not the next, but I love when the Jets just focus on playing good hockey while the Blues just keep playing meathead hockey. #NHLJets

New blog post: The Tall Tales of a Short Rockstar trailer.

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.)

A fluffy dog is sprawled out comfortably on a tiled floor, appearing relaxed.

You know a Mac app is doing something fishy when they don’t respect Command-H to hide the app properly. (coughs in Notion Calendar’s direction)

If you live to ~80 years old, you’ll get to vote nationally 20 times in Canada. Don’t miss your opportunity to participate in democracy. #ivoted #CDNpoli

My least favorite hockey games are the ones where the Jets forget how to play hockey. #NHLJets

That time of the month where I have to reintroduce my bank accounts to my money tracking app (Lunch Money) because Plaid works so well at forgetting to keep them connected.

Friday formula: Burger + beer + sunshine = 😋

A tray with a cheeseburger and fries topped with sauce and green onions sits on a table alongside drinks in jar glasses.A glass of beer with the logo "High Key" sits on a table outdoors, with people and a sunny sky in the background.

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.

A large puddle of water next to a highway with bright blue skies overhead. A power pole is visible in the distance.

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