Network nerd. Hanging out with cats and wonderful people whenever possible.

I've been hanging out at DeltaHacks at McMaster University. So much energy, creativity, and passion happening at this hackathon! I've already volunteered to be sent to any other hackathons that we sponsor.

I like getting presliced cheese so that I can have a quick snack while deciding what to have for a slightly less quick snack.

TikTok is cooked. My interests are making, camping, computer stuff, and I was pretty well tuned. Suddenly it all shifted to criticism of US immigrants and commentary about that blogger Charlie who died recently. I keep saying "not interested, don't show these hashtags", but it's still 50% of my feed

Underrated: Ethiopian. I'd eat that every day.

One brand of cold and sinus medicine, the blue pills are "nighttime" and have the drowsy bits that make me stop coughing. A different brand, the blue ones are daytime, and the white ones are nighttime.
Bad UX.
