etrade fucking sucks

10 hours into a power cut in -3°C weather 🥲 somewhat regretting removing the gas fireplace last year

Apropos of nothing

Clearing the snow off the car/driveway/path/deck/roof is an absolute exercise in futility. My god we've had a lot of snow this year

You have to admire the Rube-Goldberg-ness of this. Use AI to summarise a video, which could have been shorter but isn't due to YouTube's monetisation rules, which probably should have been a 2 minute blog anyway. Grim. blog.youtube/inside-youtu...

We're hiring a bunch of Android roles at Reddit right now - if we know eachother and you're interested or can vouch for someone who is please reach out and I'll refer redditinc.com/careers

Oooh Google I/O invite!! Last year fun-ish I guess? I couldn't give a shit about AI so I'm not sure I really want to listen to two days of vapourware announcements again

Fuck the Chiefs, go Birds

Searching for "S&P 500" on Google is only showing results for "S". Somebody broke escaping special characters

Another beauty morning in Georgian Bay

Every day recently we've seen dozens of snowmobilers driving past on our lake - okay, that's cool, pretty dangerous but cool. Except a lot of them do it in the dark?! I cannot think of a more dangerous hobby holy shit

If you see this post, quote with a bridge from your gallery.

Haven't they suffered enough?

2.86 GB! That's a chunky update #Android16

In professional news - I'm out of the GDE program. I've been really busy this last year with travel and renovating a house, and I've just not really found the time to contribute. At work, I've been working on organisational and process problems more than technical ones, so I've had little to share.

For anyone doubting... he does it twice

Mentally bracing myself for an absolutely horrifying, exhausting week.

We have temps of -18C forecast for tomorrow and I'm excited because I just filled 3 air gaps in the basement and I want to see how much of a difference it makes to our thermostat stats. Homeownership: it's a blast.

Religiously blocking anybody making AI art on Instagram

Nice new addition in AndroidX Activity 1.10.0 🥳 developer.android.com/jetpack/andr... #AndroidDev

I love the absolute starkness of this kind of weather
