Currently reading: My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She’s Sorry by Fredrik Backman 📚

I just played a Quest 2 game (Population: One?) with my son and a random dude named “Cock Swellington” and had a blast.

I also kinda feel like throwing up.

I don’t need a therapist to know that for how often I add “…but, no pressure!” to my messages, I struggle with some sort of imposter syndrome when asking people if they want to do something.

Ah yes thank you transcription bot - Westboss is a great dev to follow. Much better than Eastboss. 😆

How is a package that started the day in Memphis, TN going to make it up here by 5pm today? 🤔

A FedEx package tracking update shows the package departed from Memphis, TN, with expected delivery today by 5:00 PM.

I love / hate Shrinking on AppleTV+. It’s a beautifully written, shot, acted, and produced series. But it makes me jealous of adults having a friendship group like that. 😊

Costco this morning was nice and empty. Not so nice were all the cars I saw in ditched along the road. Be careful out there today #yxe, it’s deceptively slippery in patches.

Finished reading: Yellowface by R. F. Kuang 📚

I had to reset the counter for “days since I’ve heard someone say ‘I’m not a racist, but…” last week. And I suspect it’s only going to start happening more and more given (waves at all the things.)

Apropos of nothing going on in the world, what would be the best movie(s) or tv series to watch with teenagers to start conversations about fascism? 🤔

Preferably in 20-30 second clips broken up across 4,000 posts on TikTok or Instagram? 😆

In an effort to ignore all the things™ and focus on work, I instead ignored all the things and accomplished nothing this morning besides down 3 cups of coffee. Please clap for me?

Disney+ promoting the livestream of Trump’s inauguration on my Canadian account is certainly a choice.

Somehow it was even colder in the rink today.

I won’t miss the cold, but I will miss being able to pat my kid on the head as they skate by.

It’s a freezing -31C outside—what better day to be in a natural ice hockey rink all day? 🥶

My kid is playing with Apple’s Image Playground app on the Mac Mini and came up with this pretty good version of me if I’d pursued my dream to be a farmer. 😂

Relaxing morning with a piece of toast, coffee, and a super needy, teething dog.

A fluffy dog is playfully biting onto a chew toy with its mouth open.

Hold me in your thoughts tonight: I have to go to Martensville.

Overthinking myself into a corner is still my vibe for 2025. At least I think it is? Wait—what if it isn’t? Oh shoot. Have I already wasted the first 2 weeks of the year?

I think it’ll take 5+ years of near top tier games on the Mac before I will genuinely believe that this is the year of gaming on the Mac - but this kind of tool from Apple certainly helps move that along.

I really don’t need yet another blog or CMS, but the folks behind Good Enough have built a lovely little blogging engine in Pika that you should check out if you’re needing a blog home without a benevolent dictator at the helm.
