I complained about YouTube yesterday, today I’ll give them props for adding a simple “reuse details” so when you upload a new video you can click it and choose a previous video to pull metadata from. Really helpful for podcasts. I wish podcast hosting companies would do it too.

You know you’re getting old when your fav band’s performance with a gospel choir from the late 80’s is being posted as if it’s a niche event a blogger found.

I just published a new episode of my podcast called “5 Quick Things: Digital Gardens, Too Many Interesting Things, AI Everywhere, Forcing It, Slow Horses”. 🎧 You can listen / watch here.

I feel like anytime LEGO feels like they’re running low on cash, they just think of a bigger Star Wars LEGO set to sell. The 9,023 piece Death Star looks like a lot of fun to build though.

Today’s #selfie is proof that even old people like me can still play video games (poorly).

“Babe are you one of the million mosquitoes that just hatched because I want to swat you.” - pickup line at patios in Saskatchewan this week I assume?

Hello again Edsby. I didn’t miss you at all. 😆

Trying to write out some thoughts but the coffee hasn’t hit yet. Something around the theme of the privilege of not remembering or not having to remember.

I had to prop his head up so he’d be in the picture with me. And then promptly got up and walked away to go lay on the floor, very annoyed with me.
