Honest, authentic, quality, unassuming, unpretentious to the point of defiance. A whisper, not a shout. A loyal friend in a troubled storm. Normal to the core.
Just heard a man earnestly use the phrase, “exactamundo.”

New favourite thing. My 3-year old son doesn’t understand accents or culture, so he believes everyone from the Mario universe announces themselves as, “it’s a me, <name>”. Yoshi, toad, princess… they are all Italian stereotypes to him.

My mom planted zucchini and squash in our downtown Toronto front yard. Somehow things have grown excessively large… we don’t know what to do with the yields and people have started stealing from our garden (at night) and it honestly warms my heart ❤️

Making a pizza from scratch with your kids is maybe the most wholesome thing you can do.

My downtown-ish, public sidewalk facing garden has produced this oversized zucchini and I'm terrified that consuming it will give me some terrible disease.

Pretty good marketing here… almost feels like I should read this.

Every now and then I stop and reflect that I was born just 39 years after the D-Day landings at Normandy.

It blows my mind that 3 dudes with super loud leaf blowers can stand outside a very busy business/residential intersection and make a crazy amount of noise for ~2-hours without any consequences.

We bought one of these and every time I use it, it’s giving big nostalgia vibes. Like the Dinosaurs sitcom from 1991 energy.

I am going through that phase where I periodically reevaluate my tech stack. Today I invested a fair amount of time trying to find ways to make Siri useful on an iPhone 14 Pro, and I have to say that the experience was laughably bad.
How is Apple this far behind? Just even basic stuff is so bad…

I know I’m finally getting our family laundry situation under control when I start seeing deep cuts… like I haven’t seen this shirt in 3-months.

When I started using Neovim, I had this cute idea that I'd keep it relatively free of customization... the situation may have developed in a different direction.

My 2.5-year old son is listening to a party anthem version of “Heads, shoulders, knees and toes” and I’m very much here for it. Very hype.

Looking for a word for those moments when one looks at a pile of clutter that has been present for months (years?), sees it for what it is (absurd), and then resolves to deal with it...

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... 😬

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.
