You can tell how much self reflection someone has done by their attitude towards Bluey.



Thanks to Justin Jackson for this sweet AI generated soundtrack to my business. I feel like I need to make a commercial now.


Mad Max: Fury Road, 2015 - ★★★★½

Watched on Tuesday May 21, 2024.


I’m rewatching “Mad Max: Fury Road” in preparation for seeing “Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga” on Thursday.

I can’t believe it came out in 2015. 9 years ago already.


Web apps: “We’ve got AI in all the things to help you be more creative and work more efficiently!”

Me: “Can you automatically rename files you create with some sort of date stamp so I can tell them apart?”

The Fall Guy, 2024 - ★★★★

Today’s Quartiles (Apple News+ game) is stupid and I hate it and it’s definitely not me that’s the problem.


It’s a Vietnamese Iced coffee kind of day.

If this rumor is true about no new Mac Studio upgrades until 2025, then it will be one of the few times I bought Apple hardware at the perfect time instead of buying something and then having it obsoleted within 16 months.


I love the wide open prairie skies of Saskatchewan. I love the ability to think and process life stuff while driving across the prairies. 😀

Turns out it kinda does fix me to swap my office around. (Still evaluating the window behind me + glare on the monitor potential issue.)

  1. Before
  2. After same direction
  3. After looking other way.

Current “I want a gaming PC” temptations are Helldivers 2 and Manor Lords. Just need to wait it out. Breath. This too shall pass. 😝


Ooooh! Marie Poulin dropped a new meal planning Notion template.

(Yes it’s ok to be as excited about this as a new album drop by your fav artist. There’s nothing weird about it.)


I added Gandalf to this clip from last night’s Oilers / Canucks game and it’s going around hockey tiktok in a non-toxic way. It’s nice to just have a laugh at silly things grown men on skates do sometimes.



Aw I’m sad Arc went corporate. The animated heart was a nice little surprise. This bland update notification feels like work.

I’m thinking if I swap my office around so I’m facing the other way, that’ll fix everything that’s wrong with me.


I love how a 27yo songwriter from Vermont can write a song that somehow connects to emotions inside of me that I haven’t fully processed or worked through.


Federico Viticci’s review of iPadOS is one of the few I’m willing to read since he’s actually tried to make iPad work in ways that most of us on the sidelines only snark about.
