If I was the CEO of Notion, I’d spend the next 6 - 12 months focusing on making the app as fast as possible, while adding as few new features as possible. The main struggle I see from my tech / webdev circles is complaints about how sluggish Notion is.

Last game of the regular hockey season is a good sign that spring is coming soon. (They won too!)

A person is walking on a snowy and icy parking lot in the late afternoon, pulling a hockey bag behind them.

Happy Shrove / Pancake Tuesday to all who celebrate.

Several pancakes are cooking on a griddle in a kitchen setting.

For the last 4 springs, we’ve had issues with water filling up a basement window well. I always assumed it was our issue, but in the fall the neighbours on that side moved out and new ones moved in… and during this latest melting season, we’ve barely had any water stick around. Coincidence?

Seems like a good reason to get an iPad (A16) model tbh lol

Screenshot of iPad comparison chart from Apple’s website showing that the new iPad is the only model that doesn’t have Apple Intelligence support.

ps Balatro is made in Canada. Playing it is a way to support Canadian. 😆 🎮

I hate living out of fear, but please talk to your kids about extortion / sextortion that happens online. Some of these incidents happen so fast, parents and friends are completely unaware.

I want to do a live stream but it’s just focused on the door to my office. All you’d see is my dog push the door open every so often and poke his head in to see if I’m still here or not, and then flop on the floor while he waits for me to finish. 😆

I caved and finally washed my truck on the weekend. It’s already dirty again of course. But how many times do you get to wash a vehicle in February and not have to worry about it getting frozen shut?

Two cars are waiting in line outside a car wash under a clear blue sky.A blue truck is being washed with high-pressure water jets in an automated car wash.

Mike Myers demonstrated a perfect way to show support for #Canada on SNL last night. Clearly should’ve been the honorary captain for Canada, not Gretzky. #elbowsup

My kids love it when I meet them where they’re at (on Snapchat).

A person wearing gray sweatpants, white socks, and slides is seated with a message overlaid on the image saying, "Please stop texting me."

Why is search and typing in Apple’s own Passwords app so slow? Just me? I’m on a Mac Studio so hopefully searching through a text database would be somewhat quicker?

2 years ago I was blogging about how tearing Twitter down was easy. I could almost do a find and replace and republish as “tearing down America is easy” this year.

JD Vance reminds me of so many men in the evangelical church world who’ve failed up into positions of authority and power, but somehow believe they’ve earned it on merit or ability.

They all have that same condescending, smug, punchable face too.

Now I really need to update my “you’re getting a little Skype-y” phrase when a remote podcast recording isn’t coming through properly: Skype is shutting down on May 5th.

I love this Harrison Ford cranky old but actually really sweet guy energy for 2025.

It was nice to go to watch my kid’s hockey game last night and not step outside to -30C when we left.

That’s probably enough internet for the day. Time to shut it down everyone. We’ll pick it back up again where we’re left off tomorrow.

It really sucks to have to explain to my kids that Americans probably don’t actually hate us, and that most of them probably don’t really want to take over our country, but… if Americans can’t stop their own President / Musk, who can?
