As I check off each remaining to-do in Toronto, my time here is coming to a close. These past 3 weeks have been a positive bowshock to my system, like termination shock when exiting the heliosphere. As I grow into my own person, I have to make my own decisions, be my own ethical guide.

Cooking / baking bluesky is a much livelier community though so that's a great thing. That's the only thing I'd keep bsky on for.

Is bsky still worth using? I was testing this account and my mastodon account. Had to block bsky domains for mental health about a week ago. Kept cosocial mastodon live, and it seemed ok. Maybe I should stay off bsky for good.

Blast from the past, Nov 2000, six months after I joined Netscape and staff@mozilla.org. I signed it but the code was certainly not ready. Over the next 18 months, drivers@mozilla.org whipped things into shape enough that we could feel good bestowing Mozilla with the precious "1.0" version number.

I missed something that I should not have missed. Firefox got customizable keyboard shortcuts! The Mozilla accessibility team always punches well above its weight. Go Jamie! Looks like some good assists from Mike Kaply and Tom S., too. Load about:keyboard to start messing around.

Wired: Amazon says it has stopped using NDAs with county officials for data center projects and acknowledges community backlash is leading to data center moratoriums As noted in Amazon's threatening post telling customers they were disloyal to their country for not accepting Amazon data centers.

I see people victim-blame and try to logic-out the Cornell 7 rape case. "Why would she go into the frat house? Why would she drink?" etc. It's easier than thinking about how many men have done similar things to women, and whether men *they personally know* have harassed or assaulted women.

I wrote this two years ago, when the Roberts Bank terminal expansion was clearly heading toward some kind of approval — but well before another new oil pipeline was going to feed into it. This Pacific Link pipeline will add even more noise stress to the underwater recordings included in this piece:

Critically endangered orcas in B.C. are struggling to navigate in a sea of shipping noise

nice! I have never been that great with to-do lists. I make a lot of them but can't seem to finish them. I do like the idea of deleting them once accomplished though!

I bet they are also prescheduled too! I do that all the time sending emails to myself in the future!

Taking care of a parent with Alzheimers can give a person some dark ass thoughts sometimes. Not every day, mind you. But sometimes. Today was hard. Maybe tomorrow will be sweeter.

if you're reading this and going "yah this guy should just do things the right way" - Remember, I have no qualms about snapping pasta noodles so they fit into my pan, and I start cooking pasta from cold salted water! I'm a HERETIC! #cookingcrimes

before this, I'd preboil the tomatoes, peel skin, mash tomatoes, season, cook into tomato sauce on its own, then starting with a new pan, pan fry mirepoux, bacon, layer in the home made tomato sauce and add herbs, and start simmering it down. BUT THE NEW WAY IS FASTER!

I tried the social media cooking trend of putting halfed tomatoes cut side down on a pan, filling with other ingredients, spices, a bit of water, then cooking on medium heat, then peeling off the tomato skin when separating and then mashing the tomato into the paste - IT WORKS!!! SO DELICIOUS!!

Carbs on carbs for breakfast, yay or nay?

Your career looks different than you wanted, but it’s pretty damn lovely. You get to do what you always wanted to do. Not everyone can say that. Things I never would have taken to heart if anyone told me when I was a new writer: pretty much all of the above The process is the point.

Some things I wish I had known when I was a new writer: Being accepted by traditional publishers has less to do with skill than whether they think they can sell it. Just because publishers aren’t ready for a story doesn’t mean readers aren’t. Writing the book is the easy part. 🧵

Also, having to solder again makes me glad I got progressives for my next pair of glasses! I accidentally wore my old glasses into the sauna and the lens coating melted.

even though it felt like I didn't do much, it's still quite a lot! Still more to do in the next 48 hours including - check into flight - get myself to TORONTO - GETTING PUMPED UP for Toronto MOZALUMS TRIP!!!

So it's been 48 hours. I've - bought a domain name - planned an issue of a Canadian Science magazine - imported photos into Capture One for editing - written about 50 words (lol need to write more) - soldered headers onto a RPI Z2W - soldered headers onto a MAX998357A Amp - all shipping arrived

and who the fuck doesn't replenish their own toilet paper supply? the men described in popular media seems really useless.
