The last 60 days have been crazy.

I’ve cut back playing to less than 4 hours a week. Been focused on our election in Canada, cold calling, doing events, and driving people to the polls after work.

We won ;)

Hit me up in game and let me know what your experience has been. @ddesjardins

At the Mark Carney event in Cloverdale BC. The energy here inside is amazing…

Gotta love technology. My 82-year-old French Canadian father has voice control to access TV.

Clearly the technology was not designed to understand Québecois drawl.

The Borgs plan is insideous. Each time an Alliance starship is in range, random control system failures in the starships loadouts reduce its effectiveness in combat.

watching various AI’s interact while I’m editing an agency brief is both humourous and a pain in the ass.

Microsoft copilot doesn’t like Grammarly, and Grammarly throws a fit every time I try to spell the Canadian English version of a word.

Turning off AI support is a waste of time.

...the reality is we shouldn't go to a federal election until October of 2025. This will give a new Liberal leader the opportunity to get in touch with Canadian voters, and redefine the themes that make Liberalism a foundation of Canadian politics.

Besides, PP is the orange turd's butt-boy.

If true, the resignation of Trudeau is many things, to many people. It will give the Liberals a chance to choose a new leader, and it will take away the one thing the opposition has in its arsenal for the next election. While a successful non-confidence vote could force an election, ...

Ancient technology. (Seriously, I last used a DVD player in 2018?)

Prodigy S02 DVD arrived, external DVD player showed up at 4am (WTH Amazon...?), downloaded VLC, and my Sunday is set.

As a Star Trek fan in Canada, not having the last season of Prodigy available on streaming was a bit of a downer. Avoiding comments on social media has been challenging without getting too much in the way of details.

Take a step back. They have a DVD.

MAGA is little more that the Brown Shirts. Trump will clean them, like dog shit on his shoes. While the tech bros believe that hey will control Trump, he will turn on them just as fast.

All authoritarians do this. I look forward to watching stupid Americans suddenly realize they've been conned.

Lunch time at the cabin; charcuterie followed by enough fresh baking… chocolate chip cookies fresh from the oven, and classic gingerbread, short bread, and butter tarts.

Arrived at the cabin for the next 4 days, sadly no serious snow yet. Ice fishings a no go, thank you global warming.

Not much to see here.

Female Klingon Captain in a red Bikini (for 10 years running due to a glitch that I refuse to fix), doing the Fastest on Ice race for the 12th year running, for a Federation-built Expeditionairy Medical Scout.

I would argue this is classic Star Trek.

Switched to a Mac back in February for work, and while I love the speed and have managed to rewire my brain (most days) to use new shortcuts, the only downside is that rebooting a Mac takes forever, and that OneDrive hates special characters in names.

Weird moment in DX marketing: somehow sales reps started to believe UTMs are magical and could track activity on other people’s sites.

I wish they could ;)

Obscure work related thought:

Dear Adobe,

Love all the AI enhancements, but when can we get a spell check in Photoshop or Illustrator?

I’m wondering if they are ending the annual ship program in general. I was several hundred points short, and yesterday my rewards were available.

It certainly would prevent frustration for some if they were unable to continue earning for next year on partially completed programs.

It doesn’t feel like doomscrolling on #Bluesky. It’s oddly refreshing.
