  • Today was a quiet milestone. Hugo is 11 today! This birthday was extra sweet after the scare he gave us a month ago. Naturally Luna wanted in on the party Finally, the sign of a good party is a good nap.

  • This weekend we had a good friend come by and do our annual family photos. He brought a special treat of a camera that took me back to using iMac’s in the computer lab in school. A Sony Digital Mavica MVC-FD7 complete with floppy disk storage. Naturally I used it to take photos of my…

  • It is NHL playoff season again and as is tradition I have made my absurd bracket picks by gut alone. Somehow I ended up with an all Canadian final and I really don’t feel good about it

  • Today was my twentieth year volunteering at the Lego Robotics competition at Acadia. It was also my first with an “Assistant to the Head Referee”

  • After spending the fall watching me teach skating lessons Gwen joined the program to learn to skate. She insisted on carrying her own bag.

  • I love that absurd projects like “Every UUID dot com” exist, but I really appreciate when their creators document the process in detail There are a few things that I think the site is currently missing. Having more social features would be really neat – maybe you could see the UUIDs your friends have favorited…

  • My wonderful partner threw at me Taskmaster themed birthday party last night complete with guests having to compete in tasks and a custom trophy for the victor.

  • Today is a big day in the land of arbitrary “nice” numbers. Only four years ago I was celebrating 1500 move rings

  • I hope you all know where your towel is you hoopy froods!

  • It’s that time of year where I capture my wholly incorrect thoughts about how good or bad NHL teams are and record them in a playoff bracket.

  • Sometimes you capture a moment that gives you a glimpse into future adventures

  • After more than a year I finally took some time to lop off some hair. Ended up sticking with a length that can still be pulled back when necessary.

  • Happy Pi day to Americans that celebrate. For the rest of the world we can bake in July! Pi Approximation Day is observed on July 22 (22/7 in the day/month date format), since the fraction 22⁄7 is a common approximation of π, which is accurate to two decimal places and dates from Archimedes Wikipedia

  • The dogs often compete over who gets the bed by the window so today we upgraded to a bed big enough for the both of them and they took right to it.

  • Nice.

  • Maximum nostalgia achieved! Raquel got me a new GameBoy game for Christmas! In 2023!!

  • One of Gwen’s favourite animals this year was the octopus so I got my arts and crafts hat on for Christmas.

  • I think I got lucky with the time I picked for travelling this morning. The weather warning here kicks in later in the day and it appears like I should fly right over quite the system.

  • This summer saw us evacuating due to wild fires in the woods and also flooding coming from the forest behind the house. Today’s view was oddly peaceful in that context.
