Fair! I was actually hoping someone commented on my scent on the way home but no dice

Hoodie bought during my visit to the Eugene Elms baseball club this summer!

The thing about buying bulk cumin seed at lunch time, is that by the time you leave work, everything smells fantastic #truestory

The Right to Repair/ Interoperability amendments to the Canadian Copyright Act passed with no provisions, which is awesome (and I somehow missed on Nov 7th when it happened).

The funniest thing is that I’m still working on cyberattack recovery

I’m amazed we managed to exceed ourselves

Brown and orange cat sitting proudly on stairs looking at camera

Here’s Sass (Sarsaparilla)! She’s the shyest creature ever - she spent the first month living in the basement walls, but will now back her ass up delicately into your hand for a pet (no eye contact pls). She hunts socks.

Here’s Sunny D, the most prototypical one brain-celled orange boi you’ll ever meet.

He scratched his eye, then pulled off his cone and fell down the stairs 🤷‍♀️

No I’m afraid not. She left us a while back, but is still talked about all the time as the special creature she was. We have some new roomies, wanna see?

I ❤️ noticing little inclusive things: the Y I went to this morning has replaced the typical ‘slow/medium/fast’ swim lane indicators with ‘low intensity/med intensity’ etc. markers

Today: fire alarm, health emergency, violent patron all at once. It’s not even a full moon.

Every time people say the next generation of AI will be better, remember that they mean they’re dumping orders of magnitude more environmental damage into the thing, with no clear idea how they’ll solve the biggest issues it has.

What’s new at the house?, I ask casually
Mom: Oh, there’s a black bear in the neighbourhood so we’ll make lots of noise getting out of the car.

I’ve just been walking up and down squealing “oooh picked eggs! Oooh pickled peppers! Oooh pickles carrots”

Imma need a cart to take me home

Meeting with a view - travelling around branches in Scarborough and popped in the newly renovated Albert Campbell branch

Just fyi I nailed that small talk with the baby mom after 2 morning beers.

Holy shit, free transit access with our Access conference badge? What a brilliant idea, going to use the heck out of this 😍

Having endless inane text exchanges with your other person about where the good broom is, only to discover you each have a different idea about which broom is the good one.

“we’d go bankrupt if we paid our workers what they’re asking” yeah me too, that’s why I do not get to have a company

When someone asks you to review something and you send a delayed response email because they’ll never believe you did a thorough job that quickly.

(I read fast but mostly am delighted to be distracted by new work coming in and will jump on it)

The Hoser | Introducing the Grocery Tracker The Hoser's latest investigative project tracks the price of groceries across the GTA

It's live and I'm so proud. I'm also very tired.

First bit of data analysis from the grocery tracker. Of 167 no name brand items I found prices for in loblaws and no frills stores, the exact same items were on avg 95 cents more expensive in loblaws.
