It's exciting to work on exciting stuff at work 😘

I have these incredibly nice Bose Quiet Comfort headphones that I use with my MacBook Pro, and it's crackle city over here. It's very frustrating to have two very high end pieces of technology that do not function well together. Even worse, the wired connection doesn't work either... 😬

I’m a “I like spicy food” guy, and this has been a real challenge 🥵

Not sure why Shopify.com is hosting this...

I used to buy PC Gamer every month as a kid so seeing this review makes me so happy! www.pcgamer.com/games/puzzle...

Grocery shopping and paying attention to where our food is made… very happy to see most is from Ontario and Quebec

The tender words of another parent upon entering my incredibly messy car - “oh, your car looks like ours” ❤️

My weakness is finding a song I love, but in an early, raw/acoustic/demo form. I don’t care about production, the creative spark is what’s interesting. So many good examples of this.

Kinda nice - I’m a better ice skater than I’ve ever been by just going frequently with my family. Feels good to be able to actually stop.

Hosting four extra people tonight for a total of eight, with two more arriving in the morning. It’s a lot of magic to make, but you really only get this for 10-15 years of your life until you pass the baton.

Something weirdly romantic about driving in winter

If you're in Montréal would highly recommend working with these folks!

You can tell a lot about a person by how many of the DLCs they have for Hearts of Iron 4 (I have them all)

Just thinking about pig stuff

Is there anything better than listening to jazz and writing unit tests?

Very interested to see the reception this wine will have at our holiday party 🎉

I bought my daughter a simple, yet powerful synth for Christmas and I think it may have sparked a desire to become a synth guy 😬

I may not be doing the advent of code this year, but I have managed to learn Vim and have become reasonably proficient with it. Cannot say enough good things about Kickstart!

Finally learning Vim and starting to feel somewhat productive in it. Cannot recommend Kickstart enough... it's made the process much much easier.

Haven’t been proper sick like this for awhile. Going on day 6 over here…

I know life is expensive, but I cannot accept that take out (not delivery) Mac & Cheese is 21 dollars before tax and tip.

Earlier I went through my sister's kitchen junk drawer. If anyone needs a CD to reinstall Windows 95, hit me up.

Taking photos of orcas wearing salmon hats? Call that shooting fish in apparel.

Given the state of my house no one should ever take cleaning advice from me, but one small thing I try to do is chronically move things closer to where they need to be, even if I can’t put them *exactly* where they need to be.

We have 6% of the followers here compared to the 100k in X. The vite 6.0 announcement in bluesky already got half the reposts and a third of the likes. And most of the comments and quotes from OSS maintainers happened here. I don't know about other communities, but OSS web dev is a bluesky game now.

The intrusive developer urge to build something that uses SQLite.

Politics these days feel so divisive 🙁

Can I retire and just do legos?

Been playing a lot of Balatro… such a weirdly addictive game. Highly recommend.

Bluesky, with a well curated follow list, has already replaced Twitter for me as the place to immediately see what's happening of relevance to me as a media producer in the independent media space

I think I really love psychedelic folk.

The terrifying moment you return to a take-out restaurant you gave a bad review on Google Maps and the dude at the counter welcomes you by name... after you haven't been in for months 😬

I cannot with these socks. Similar enough to be hard to distinguish, different enough to look ridiculous when worn as an odd pair.

every boxing movie is basically about this transformation

Mugshot! I both love and hate how Starbucks collector mugs fit together so well…. the random mugs are more endearing, but have a high level of chaotic energy

look what just arrived hehehehe
