I've never been a "car" guy, but I found out Toyota has a fun little sports car model called the GR86. On a whim I put in a request for one of only 30 2026 Yuzu edition GR86s coming to Canada and I got it! Can't wait! Delivery in January!

Finally got around to trying to watch Frankenstein last night but found myself super annoyed whenever Mia Goth was on screen and ended up turning it off halfway through.

Stop. Going. To. The. USA. For any reason. www.thetravel.com/us-customs-a...

Hmmm... realizing that I have all the knowledge and skills required to make a really cool video game... but no ideas about what kind of game to make.

Just the sky being dramatic.

Introduce yourself with 5 concerts you've seen: 1: Debbie Gibson 2: Mastodon 3: Front 242 4: Gift of Gab 5: The Pack AD How's that for eclectic?

Of course I slept through not one but two earthquakes.

Good lord that was an amazing season of Dancing With The Stars! Could not be more pleased with who won, but would not have been disappointed at all between the top two.

"You will be visited by three spirits."

Not goodbye, my sweet little friend. Just see you later. Until then, I will miss you daily.

That was the best sleep I've had in weeks. Only woke once during the night and fell right back to sleep. It's amazing how much difference that makes in how you feel come morning!

Man... a whole lot of the internet uses CloudFlare! It's been down for a couple hours already...

Honestly, I hope they keep him. It'll guarantee they don't win the next election. They're not the Progressive Conservatives of yesteryear... these are far right Reform/Alliance kooks that infiltrated the PCs and rebranded into the Conservative Party of Canada.

Huh... Comic-accurate Galactus is kinda cool.

I've been SCREAMING about this for years. These are NOT conservatives. These are Reform/Alliance religious nutters!

What fictional creature/villain traumatized you as a kid?

That was an amazing episode of DWTS. Congrats to all contestants, especially @andyrichter.co . I don't think anyone was more surprised than he about how long he lasted. I would have been ecstatic to last this long.

Ooooh... My new jeweler's bench should be here tomorrow! I will be so close to having my workshop set up again!

Watched Weapons (2025) this evening. It started out kinda spooky but the villain/monster just wasn't scary at all. 5/10.

Cats don't care about the time change. They don't like the "extra hour" they must wait until breakfast. At least they let me sleep until 4.

I love this lamp.

Well... okay... about 15 kids. I guess Halloween isn't a thing anymore.

If you’re talking to me tell me you love me. I don’t believe it but I like that. Give me your body, I'll give it right back. open.spotify.com/track/6YXNVB...

Post your first record.

TIL Sabrina Carpenter is the niece of Bart Simpson's voice, Nancy Cartwright.

Every morning these two boys get up with me and lounge on the bathroom mat while I get ready.

They call them "fingers"... but I've never seen them "fing". Oh... there they go.

If you see this quote your favorite Pokemon! (Wrong answers only)

No, YOU'RE eating Costco pumpkin pie at 6am!

October 10th. Beautiful day, but the weekend looks rainy and cool, so I figured I should take a swim today. The pool is open until October 22! The novelty still hasn't worn off.

If you get a chance to try this stuff, don't pass it up. SO good I order it from Ontario to BC.

This is the... third...? time Peachland has been on fire this summer.

Phoebe the pug is the world's most certified dog! edmonton.citynews.ca/video/2025/0...

Got up to use the washroom in the middle of the night and when I returned to bed, I just left my robe on the floor. When I got up a few hours later, I retrieved and donned my robe, then went to make some tea. Suddenly I felt some leggy wriggling inside my robe and pulled out a giant house spider.

As we approach Autumn, I'm so excited to see the season in my new home. The Okanagan has been incredible this summer and I can't wait to see the next year!

I love my nagas but where's my liches?

Doing work for one of my realtor clients and I've learned SO much more about DynamoDB than I knew already, thanks to LLMs. Claude Code helped me design and build a full email sequence and content manager in two days. This previously would have taken me a month and not been anywhere as good.

We have (conditionally) bought a downtown condo in Kelowna for our daughter!

Evangelical Christians are floating off the planet in an information bubble they built themselves, and it's not going well. Read my latest essay on Substack: open.substack.com/pub/edgarroo...

This new system I'm building (with some heavy LLM use) has taught me SO much more about system architecture and NoSQL databases. I thought I had a solid understanding of them after the many years I've worked with them... but WOW was I wrong! Very cool!

@bergiedan.bsky.social Went to a magic show here in Kelowna last night. The magician did many of the same tricks you did, but you were better!

Rogers/Shaw Internet is down all over, apparently. Even their sites keep dropping.

I don't want to be IN THE LOOP or OUT OF THE LOOP. I want to be aware of the loop and its contents, but free from any loop-related responsibilities.

Watching the Netflix doc about Hurricane Katrina. What a horrific event to have to have lived through!

Every time I see one of those class action lawsuits, I submit my info for participation. I've received $10-$100 for each of them. It's not much, but it's funny to me.

This was the largest praying mantis I've ever seen in person. Just hanging out on my door!

I know this looks hot, but strangely I find it easily bearable here. In Calgary these temperatures would have killed me.

Yowza! It was 32C yesterday and this is the coming week! Stay cool out there, fellow Kelownians!

Wow!
