A beautiful day in Kelowna. Lots of people walking around downtown which was nice to see.

A lovely evening with a new friend, sharing stories of high school theatre days over chacuterie and drinks (old fashioneds for me, of course.)


A pleasant and calming sight to see the sun breaking through this evening after weeks of clouds.


It always feels good in the moment to be working on a problem and get it resolved, but at some point you will wake up in the morning not feeling quite as hot.


Experimenting with cross-posting from my blog to micro.blog to Twitter and Mastodon. It looks like a success! Only took me... too long to sort it out.

Hat tip to @chrishannah with his blog post which showed me the way in making this work for a Ghost-hosted blog.


New year, going back to micro.blog for posting my thoughts, rather than going directly to the different sites.


As organized as I am, I still tend to be a major procrastinator.

I love the energy in downtown Kelowna when the weather warms up (+21C today) and the tulips bloom.

The city comes alive.


Late night thoughts:

Makers Mark > Knob Creek* for bourbon.

  • but Iā€™m feeling good so both are great.

Greg Mckeown (author of Essentialism and has a new book out) and Ryan Holiday (author of several books about stoicism and other topics).

Daily Stoic podcast

The cure for all (my) problems is bourbon.


Scrolling past all the Oscar tweets when I see news of a new trailer.

Here come the Jets!

West Side Story trailer


I enjoyed this conversation between @tylercowen and @ShadiBartsch about the Greek/Roman classics and China.

Conversations with Tyler


Audible is having a 2-for-1 sale for the next few days. Two of my favourite books are included, Obstacle is the Way and Daily Stoic, both by @ryanholiday.

Can’t go wrong with those two books.


I appreciate this article from Napkin Math about the potential revenue generated from newsletters on the various platforms. Am I getting ripped off writing at Every?
