  • To help Luna with the transition to having a baby in the house we got her a special bed.

    At night we pile up the dog beds on the couch so the Roomba can clean. First thing this morning she still sought it out.

  • Luna has mastered the Saturday afternoon nap

    Even when you fall off you just hop back up and reset

  • Two cans of “King of Donair” Beer

    There’s genuinely no way this can be anything other than terrible, but it is my duty as a haligonian.

  • Sometimes I like to check the work of the spammers that end up in my Junk mailbox. I have a begrudging respect for joebilling

  • Tonight’s evening dog walk saw that the whole world was encased in ice post storm

  • As the week has gone on and more places have written about Sony buying “Halo Developer” Bungie I continue to remember great Bungie games like Oni.

    The style of combat in this game was like nothing else. I loved this on the Mac and the PlayStation 2

    Hopefully Sony finds the IP and considers bringing this and/or Myth back

  • Today is the start of (virtual) AGConf 12 on a virtual space station instead of a cruise ship

  • With the announcement that Sony is buying Bungie I can only hope that Sony will resurrect the Myth franchise that has been gone too long.

  • This Christmas Eve is a bit different. We welcomed Guinevere to the world at 11pm last night. No tree or lights in IWK for us but I am happily trading it for these snuggles.

    Baby Gwen snuggled into my chest for our afternoon nap.

  • Got the tree up and decorated before the tiny human arrives! This year featuring a pair of lovely new ornaments 🐶🐾

  • Notification from Twitter that today is my 14th anniversary on the platform

    In many ways social media still feels very new and I remember interacting with Twitter via SMS on my flip phone. Then notifications like this shock me back into reality.

  • For the first time since Covid disrupted the world Steve Poltz made it back to Halifax on Thursday and really put on a show!

  • It took slightly over one day for Luna to steal Raquel’s pregnancy pillow

  • That moment when you realize that the developers on the NHL app never expected a team to have a points percentage of less than 10% and sanitized the leading 0

    I’m sure the Yotes would appreciate a .620 points percentage 🤣

  • This is easily my favourite take on the Facebook rebrand 🤣

  • To celebrate Hugo turning 7 we took them both to Pet Valu where they got lots of love and attention from the staff. We came home with birthday dessert!

  • Hugo and Luna have embraced the second intermission as an opportunity to snuggle each other instead of me.

  • Hugo has big dreams of what a lazy Saturday should be like and he has had quite enough of the sun.

  • Raquel is 32 weeks today and we went to an ultrasound to figure out if the kid is going to be a giant baby like their father. They did their best to dodge the camera but were happy to show us their foot.
