God I love 2-out, 3-run homers.
Drove from Oshawa to Dundas and back in that snow/rain/sleet today and boy that was as they say, squirrelly.

Thinking about all the AL Champions gear wrapped and sitting under trees and sighing a bit wistfully.

Thinking of starting a bluesky for silly things Opus says when it works too hard.

To wit,
"Verdict: The branch is clean, strictly typed, and more resilient than when we started. Ready to merge-basing. Ready to master. Ready to PR #207. Ready to my gut was right to raise. Ready to merge."

I’m pretty sure the junior developer I’m having a conversation with is pasting every reply I give to AI and then responding with massaged AI replies.

Every time I encounter the need for recursion when developing, I say to myself, “Hey, No Recursing.”

Shout out to the dreamer who decided to implement the OS feature where if you wiggle your mouse really fast is changes your cursor to a massive size so you can find it.

Something strange has happened with my shower routine. My entire life I’ve been a guy who faces the shower head side during the “soak” phase where I’m just enjoying the heat.

But all of a sudden I’ve found I really enjoy my back to the shower head and now spend a lot more time that way.

Exciting!

Last night I fell asleep remembering some guys.

This time it was side characters in sitcoms I grew up watching.

Not sure how many know about this, but a pretty handy site that has a bunch of helpful tools for Developers. I've used it anonymously for 2+ years.

There's a hyperrealistic Subway Builder game that just launched a Canadian cities patch mod (available via their Discord).

If you've ever wanted to plan a better subway system, this may be up your alley.

Why are there so many Bluesky posts that amount to “Look at this asinine thing in an article in the NY Times”?

Finally started to digest a smidgen of Jays content and this was the perfect start.
Lessons from the 2025 Toronto #BlueJays for men and boys on being a present and caring teammate to everyone, openly expressing a variety of emotions, dealing with grief, having wins and facing defeats together.

Just danced to the Log Driver's Waltz with Kristine in my upstairs hallway.

I wonder what age range the nostalgia for this vignette hits? Is it even still a thing for kids these days?
