It’s cold out. Frosty. Brisk, is the word most would use to describe it. Either way, it’s nothing close to what we’re about to experience in the next eight weeks. Taking my oldest to their 1st comic con tomorrow afternoon, and then dropping them off at their first dance in the evening. Wish me luck!

“But why do all her characters drink coffee like that?”
I need to get me a fisherman’s hat!
Stop scrolling and post two characters who bring you happiness.
Finally upgraded my phone to the iPhone 17. Huge upgrade from the 12 mini. I can actually type on this screen! This time, I hope I can go without an upgrading again until the iPhone 27.🤞🤞
It’s the little things that make me happy. 😊 👽
Any of you going to be tabling or hanging out in artist’s alley at Winnipeg Comic Con this weekend? If so, let me know in the replies and my kid and I will stop by to check out your work!

There are two kinds of people today. Those who understand their IT person can't magically fix a massive AWS outage that is impacting stuff you wouldn't expect like Adobe Acrobat, and those who don't understand and choose to yell like an asshole and demand you fix it anyway.

Don't be that 2nd guy.

So excited to join the AWS team! Just pushed my first code update!

The AWS outage today is a good reminder that there is no "cloud", there's just somebody else's computer.

FedEx, Substack and Ring.com apps aren’t working properly today. Feels like a data centre or two got hit.
It’s always sad when someone you know becomes someone you knew.
Another one of my former coworkers passed away yesterday. It’s been five years since I last saw him, but we’d still talk in the group chat. My wife still worked with him, and today he was going to start at her new company. She spoke to him on Friday and everything was fine.

Games You Can Play In Your Head By Yourself

I'm intrigued.
I’m taking my oldest to Winnipeg Comiccon 2025. Got the tickets this morning. This will be my first time at a comic convention in something like 15 years. That’s how bad it was the last time I went. Hopefully things have improved.

Stan Sakai explains that his reference trips to Japan are totally tax deductible...which is nice. He's going next month to reference a new Usagi tale involving matcha.
Also, I might sneak away later and adopt a cat front the shelter. Cause I don’t have enough to do. 🐈
Toddler refuses to nap and won’t stop climbing things.
My wife and daughter are at a baby shower.
I am on my fifth cup of coffee, irritable and in need of a nap myself.
Spent the afternoon cleaning the house and garage. Still need to hang curtains & take down the trampoline.
Still, more to do!
