You technically can’t really see your dog run away for days in Saskatchewan, but there’s some justification for it as an unofficial tagline for our province.

A harvested field, and blue skies with a few clouds.A fence post in the foreground with barbed wire fencing, with a harvested field in the background, and blue skies with a few clouds.

I need to build one of those single purpose websites called “WasChrisAbleToWearShortsToday” dot biz or something that I just update each day with yes / no as to whether it’s shorts weather or not here in Saskatoon.

Releasing a yellow colour in the new iPad models is just trolling me Apple. 🍋

Loved reading “statuesque goth-goddess” Kelly and “an Actual Poet with the best hair in the fandom” PJ’s grappling with being a fan of an artist like Bono as adults, and coming out on the other side with their own bit of self-actualization.

Going to have to reconcile Jimmy McNulty and Ayesha going up against Dolores Umbridge and the High Sparrow in The Crown Season 5. (Actors can only hold one role in my small brain.)

Something I think about everyday is that when people write “…and this is something I think about everyday” that they don’t actually think about that thing everyday.

I think my glasses, which I’ve glued three or four times already, might not be long for this world.

Dark / light themed websites are so 2022. Get with the times and offer multiple themes like Domino’s delivery tracker.

Posting a pic for Micro.blog’s A Day in the Life 2022. Needing a shower, shave, and a haircut but at least I have coffee and headphones?

I don’t know how a modern city + a modern app developer would end up with a parking system app that looks like the one Saskatoon is now using. Using it is like stepping back 8 years on mobile app development - which feels like 20 normal years.

Oooh new Marie Poulin video just dropped. (Just nerding out about new Notion tips the same way I would if my fav band released a single. 😂)

Despite being a rough recording, this stripped down cello and drums version of Vertigo from Bono’s book tour has me very curious what the band is cooking up for the rumoured Songs of Surrender album.

Despite the last 5 (10, 15, 25?) years, I still am surprised when I hear how singularly focused on an issue (i.e. abortion) some Christians are. Listening to how they went after Phil Vischer (creator of Veggietales) on Twitter is kind of bonkers.

I enjoy reading @benthompson’s optimism for VR tech’s future, I just wish it wasn’t the soul sucking Facebook that was behind it who, based on experience, will prioritize profit over people.

Been seeing a lot of these kinds of spiders this fall in our house. Siri Photo ID thinks Wolf Spider or Nursery Spider. 🤷‍♂️

Step 1: Open Final Cut Pro project. Step 2: Wait for external hard drive to spin up. Step 3: While waiting, get distracted on Twitter. Step 4: External hard drive goes to sleep waiting for me to come back. Step 5: Repeat.

Inclusive name input on web forms is important - not just for kindness to individuals, but also for better financial performance. Plus you don’t want to make Bono, Madonna, or Cher mad do you?

Each time we share the story of what went down at my wife’s job over the last 9 months, I can’t help but think how messed up it all was by one man and the people who chose to follow him, no matter what he said. Almost like a church community is primed for that somehow. 🤔🤨
