Faraway, So Micro

Crazy storm last night that had a ton of lightning and rain, a few good cracks of thunder, and kept winding around for a couple hours so that no sleep was had by the adults from 2-4am. Somehow the kids slept through it all. 😴

I don’t want to know what’s happening down south to generate this as a “trend”. 🤦‍♂️

Dang it’s really nice to know I’ve been missed, even if it is by a random person on my YouTube channel. 💗

I haven’t published a YouTube video in such a long time, but I stumbled on a viewer question about Audio Hijack file recording length mismatch and made a quick tutorial.

Heyo I bloggo’d (that’s what we used to say back in the 2010’s. no need to look it up. i was there.) Apple Watch for Kids Campaign is Gross

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?

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. 😆

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? 😝
