New blog post: I Finally Did It.

Currently reading: The Hero of Ages by Brandon Sanderson 📚

Current status: Editing a Syntax.fm episode while sipping from my Syntax.fm mug while wearing my Syntax.fm shirt while cuddling(?) my Syntax.fm skate deck.

I just had a shower at home after a week of camping. That’s it. That’s all I have to say. 😌 🎉

I’m sorry to anyone at Netlify affected by the layoffs this week. It sucks a lot - I know how much heart and soul has gone into making it a great app and service for the web.

The best part of The Amazing Race Canada is how Canadian everyone sounds. 😆 Somehow they sound even more stereotypical Canadian even though I live here.

If we’ve got Paramount+ for a 7 day free trial, what do I need to binge before I cancel it?

It’s stupid walk for my 🧠 time. Been lazy this week now that kids are home from school and Tuesdays are Saturdays and supper is breakfast my 🧠 is extra confused. Let’s go. 🚶‍♂️
