New family member alert! Everyone, meet Oliver (Ollie for short). He’s a 13 week-old micro mini Bernedoodle. We’ve had him for just over a week and he’s been settling in pretty well so far :) 🐶🐾

So, a weird quirk with the latest iOS 27 beta: I have two App Stores on my Home Screen. Wuh?

Well, I installed the iOS 27 public beta on my iPhone. It's been so stable on my iPad that it was an easy decision. My only minor gripe so far is that the Siri update seems to take forever.

A couple of action shots of our neighbours cat Squeakers doing what I like to call "Power Snooping". On the other side of the fence is a parking lot that she frequently likes to scrutinize.

The weather has been a bit nuts in T.O., but I appreciate the rain after the smoke and semi-apocalyptic orange skies. But also: tornado warning?!

Oof! Hot one today in Toronto 🥵☀️

A summer project of mine was to pet our neighbours super shy cat, Tabby. Yesterday I finally did it! My slow blinks and calm demeanour over a few months finally won her over!

Well, I did it! Got my free birthday Starbucks drink! S'mores! The stupid size!

We have Northern Cardinals visiting our bird feeder camera in the winter and it's the best! 🇨🇦❄️

Just about every Toronto streetcar has the "We stop. You stop." sign, but if you're lucky you might one day see the Freak Nasty "When I dip, you dip, we dip." version!

It’s that time of year again where I try different egg nogs and share my unasked for opinion! This year’s entry in “NogOff 2025”: Elmhurst Oat Nog. Not bad! It has a bit of a chalky aftertaste, but not overwhelmingly so. Of the non-dairy options I’ve had, it’s probably the best so far.

Well, feeling pretty good about getting those snow tires installed over a month ago 🛞🌨️

That oasis concert was pretty great!

A cardinal recently visited our bird feeder!

With my newfound free time I finally got around to upgrading the home network with a patch panel! It was…kind of janky before this cleanup.

Still giddy about finding Guinness 0% at my local Costco. I bought two twelve packs!

Today is the four year anniversary of the emergency surgery I had after having a type B aortic dissection, aka the day I cheated death. SUCK IT DEATH. #aorticdissection

Uh, that checkbox on the wordpress.org login page is…interesting?

Some before and after images of my ECG readings from when I went into aFib last night. The first reading is from when my aFib started and the second was after my medication kicked in. The AppleWatch has been an invaluable tool to help me monitor and track this! ❤️⌚️ #afib #applewatch

This visual glitch in iOS 17 with the Dynamic Island drives me crazy!

Each year I have a follow up with my doctor after I get an MRI to check on the diameter of my aorta and such. I’ve been doing this regularly since my aortic dissection back in October 2020. Everything is stable! Also this year I didn’t partially fall asleep in the MRI machine, ha
