Am I a bad parent because I think Roblox is the worst by almost every measure?

Oh cool. Another app being completely awful: NGL banned from hosting young teens in a groundbreaking settlement

I hate AI crap like this so much: A Beloved Tech Blog Is Now Publishing AI Articles Under the Names of Its Old Human Staff

I hate that my brain tried to tell me this beautiful sunset photo by Manuel Moreale was AI because of how good it looks.

It’s very hot out and I’m just posting to say that I’m enjoying how hot it is because usually I complain about how cold it is here. #circleofsaskatchewanlife

Weather for my location showing a high of 30C today and 34C on Thursday.

I know this is a pedantic things I just need to get over… but whenever I hear or (especially) read someone refer to their podcast or a podcast episode as “…the pod”, I feel the need to scream really loudly at the wall for 5 seconds.

New on my blog: Setting Up Your Family on Steam

A reminder to turn off the sprinklers you may have forgotten about while arguing with strangers on the internet.

Who built the better slurpee with ice cream? L or R?

Two frosty slurpees with ice cream. On the left is a colourful multiflavoured one with a fun ice cream top, on the right is a Pepsi flavoured one with ice cream at the bottom only.

Looks like BeReal has turned on the ad faucet. Not sure this is the wisest choice of placement given my location and default language settings, but whatever gets you that Monopoly money I guess.

It’s exhausting being the only parent* in the city who doesn’t hand their kids an Xbox, a brand new iPhone, a YouTube subscription, and unlimited screen time.

(*according to my kids)

Riddle of Fire is playing at The Broadway Theatre in Saskatoon and looks like a fun time.

I sometimes think one of the people on the podcast I’m editing are un-listening, over-talking jerks—when in actuality I moved their track ahead by accident.

Always check to make sure tracks are aligned appropriately. 😆

Screenshot of Logic Pro editing two tracks where one track is very clearly off from the other track.

Apparently “weeds” is a bad word on tiktok. What else do you use to describe stuff growing in your grass that you’re trying to get rid of? 😝

Screenshot of a hashtag removal screen saying #weeds violates the community guidelines.

I got to put out the cushions on the deck and leave them out for a whole day. What is this? Where is the rain?? 😆 ☀️

Via @manton - the omg.lol folks are adding a micro podcasting feature called Spake. I love this kind of experimentation in audio and podcasting.

This is my impression of Christopher Walken. (See my full name is Christopher and I’m on a treadmill…. walking?)

I don’t know how Jordan Klepper does these interviews (TikTok link). Why can’t Republicans be done with Trump?

I genuinely don’t know if blocking AI bots from scraping my site(s) is a good thing or not. Would I have blocked Google 20 years ago? Even that isn’t a one to one comparison. I’m glad Cloudflare is making it easy to do if you want to though.

My TikTok FYP showed me a dude unboxing and playing Police Quest and I instantly could smell the stock IBM PC jr keyboard and hear the fans spinning up as I booted it up at my dad’s office where he let me play games on a Saturday if he had to go in to work.
