Stuck in a small town rink for the day but took a quick walk down by the tracks.

Path outside in the prairies. No snow yet.

I know Apple has their reasons for making things thin, but would anyone have complained if the new Mac mini was an inch thicker but you could also (somewhat more) easily change out the hard drive in a year?


I ended up using Tweetback to display my Twitter archive. Still sorting out if I put it on my website or not.

I’m nerd / dev adjacent (I edit and listen to a lot of smart devs talk about web dev stuff so I recognize words) and I was able to do it, so you could do. Feel free to AMA.


I stopped Neville Dogbottom just as he was about to drop a massive load in our living room this morning, so I feel like I can probably just consider my work done for the day. What more could I possibly achieve that would top that?


Anyone have a cool app / self hosted way of archiving my Twitter data export? I don’t care that much, but it would be nice just to throw it somewhere since… the web?


Hey. Drink some water. It’s actually kind of refreshing. You can go back to your coffee / alcohol laced smoothie / beer / etc. anytime. Just grab a large glass of water and chug it for me, ok?


So the Trudeau government bans TikTok from operating in Canada citing security concerns. Naturally political commentators on Tiktok report it as “because Trudeau can’t handle the truth!?” 😆 As if TikTok is the only place ppl complain about governments.


Thursday’s wtf vibe

On the right half is a screenshot from Childish Gambino in his This is America music video, with text of “This is America” on the left side.

Oh wait - it’s going to take all month to work. 😆

Downloaded an archive of my almost 30,000 tweets and am auto-deleting them using tweetdeleter.com. We’ll see how well it works. Then I’ll private my account and be done until such time as a new owner takes over or it disappears completely.


In 2016, Americans could maybe get a pass because they didn’t really know what he’d be like. But in 2024, 71,000,000+ said “Yep more of that please!” to him.

It’s like watching your friend get back together with an awful partner. Except the partner also controls nukes.


At least my Jets are getting a decisive victory so I can be slightly less anxious.

Activities on my iPhone showing Harris at 112 and Trump at 198. And the Jets beating Utah 2-0.

Gonna go be bad at Fortnite while I wait for the US to be done their sorting hat.


What’s everyone using for an HTML editor these days? I’m thinking it’s time I upgrade to something a little more modern.

“When Women Were Dragons”

I...I don't get angry." I shook my head. "I don't usually get angry. But lately..." The words died there.&10;&10;Mrs. Gyzinska gently cupped her hand against my cheek and tilted my face upward so I was forced to meet her eyes.&10;&10;They glittered strangely. "Anger is a funny thing. And it does funny things to us if we keep it inside. I encourage you to consider a question: Who benefits, my dear, when you force yourself to not feel angry?"

Do any of my American friends need an emotional support Canadian to talk with? Thinking I could offer 30m time slots tomorrow for talking about hockey, poutine, and how cold it’s going to get here soon to distract from all the things.


Good luck to whomever has to read my writing on that hockey timesheet tonight. 😆

Luckily nobody is too worried about div C hockey games.


I came home from our Florida trip with a cough that’s finally going away after 2+ weeks. I haven’t exercised this whole time and it’s making me frustrated, which is a good sign that I should be able to get back on the treadmill Monday.


I spent a couple hours working on a redesign of my business website and let me tell you: building websites is awful. 😂 How has it gotten more difficult and painful over the last 10 years?

I want to just put text and a few MP3 embeds and call it done. 🥱


Laziness in responding right away pays off again! 😆

A screenshot of text messages reading “Are you home and able to help me for a minute?” followed shortly after by “Never mind. Problem solved”
