Surely someone at Environment Canada realized that the new yellow, orange, red warning system was going to cause some snickers the first time we got a Yellow Snowfall Warning.

Welcome to day six of the head cold...it's one of those classic week-long affairs. Slept well at least. Back to work (from home) and hopefully back to feeling normal again in a day or two.

Took a while but the Whitecaps finally get the equalizer. They've been taking the play to Miami the whole game save for an own goal early. Let's go!

I don't watch a ton of MLS mostly because it's tucked away on AppleTV (out of sight, out of mind). But I will be cheering on the Vancouver Whitecaps this afternoon. Hoping they can bring the MLS Cup back to Canada again. #mls #whitecaps

Finally feeling a bit better than the day previous. A decent night's sleep always helps. Thankfully this cold never went further than just my sinuses. Knock on wood I've fought it off now.

Off sick again today. Going to be smarter about not working too much. I took a bunch of calls yesterday and paid a bit of a price for it...always tempting when you work from home to not actually take a sick day to rest.

Pretty sure I have caught a cold. Gah. Not great, but better now than in three weeks time. It’s been a long time since I’ve been sick.

My body reminded me last night that decaf coffee is not caffeine-free coffee. Won’t make that mistake again…for a couple of months. And then I will likely make that mistake again.

Been messing with Google Gemini for personal stuff, but also for work. It's really great. On the work side of things, it's a massive time saver for doing things like features, dependencies and roadmaps. Fortunate to have Pro at work, and I'm happily paying for Pro at home now too.

0ºC but sunny. Easy call on #teamshorts today. I keep saying it, but eventually this will have to come to an end. The tights are standing by for the inevitable day they will be required. www.strava.com/activities/1... #running #runsky #strava

Sunny and actually fairly nice out. The overnight snow is mostly gone, with just a bit of slush around in places. Shorts was the right call again...just about 0ºC and not a lot of wind. | Strava

Funny story. Turns out I had some BTC in an account I forgot about until today. It was from 2016 and 2019. Up 18,431.73% since then. And no, I'm not rich.

Please give me a streaming audio service that has Dolby Atmos (like Apple Music) but a good UI (like Spotify). Is it Tidal?

Ending support for SMS 2FA at work today (finally). It's been a long time coming, to be honest. It's expensive to offer, less secure and deliverability is a constant battle. Glad to be done with it.

December 1...yikes. What happened to 2025? Clearly out the work calendar for the holidays today. Just three weeks until the break.

Cleaned out the clothes drawers and closet and made a big donate pile. Also put the summer stuff away until next spring. Sigh.
