Saturday slothfulness.

Watched the first two episodes of The Thick of It - enjoying.

This is quite a sick burn.

Like if you have an actual Easy button from Staples.

OK geeks, chew on this: Carol from Pluribus is the 21st century version of Odo (DS9), somewhat inverted. Discuss.

Stevie Ray Vaughn Neil Young with Booker T and the MGs Bruce Cockburn Sloan x2 Motley Crue (RIP some of my hearing)

Good morning - lack of communication.

A note to 25 year old me, in passing: someone YOU will become one of those people who forgets to take medication some days because you got out of your routine and, oh yes, you will need to take several medications 30+ years from now, you young fool.

So much fun to remember some of this stuff.

Forever putting tape over labels... what do you mean, I have trust issues?

Just went down a Pluribus rabbit hole, don't mind me, Carol.

Wishing a wonderful Thanksgiving to US family, friends and colleagues today.

Good morning - round and round.

The feeling when you can come up for air and breathe a bit.

Professional certifications: essential or millstones due to recertification needs? Unserious replies only.

Twitter "in the gold old days" Or, social media back in the day.

Good morning - in your direction.

RIP Colleen Jones

Thought for the day: every time is a first time.

Good morning - back for more.

Good morning, take a violet pill if you're on the fence. Whatever.

I was quit when I came in here, Charlie Brown. I'm twice as quit now.

Are there any good alternatives to Field Notes out there, just in case I wanted to source some notebooking goodness outside of the US?

Morning fellow seekers: how on earth is November 2/3rds done already?

Welcome, every one, to the month of Black Friday (already in progress).

I just saw a flying blue jay in Toronto - apropos.

Let's give a cheer!

Also, in nostalgia: remember when none of the members of Sloan had grey hair? Don't get me wrong, they still kick butt, but still.

It's been 41 years since Platinum Blonde's debut album was released. This is not important, at all, but yet another thing we olds remember.

Love it too!

Just think: there's at least one person out there who never wanted to do the job you're doing today and sometimes that's a consequence of that lack of interest.

Cloudflare, Cloudflare everywhere... stuff going nowhere...

Looking at the top of Toronto's street cars from several stories up, it's a wonder they don't short circuit and explode in wet conditions. Shouldn't all of that cabling be covered?

@markdykeman.bsky.social Hi Mark! I have 10 Paintings in the ALMAG small works sale starting Sat- in your neck of the woods :) it’s a show and sale, so totally fine to just look 🎉

Tuesdays in Toronto, a book never read nor written.

Good morning - might as well embrace it.

The red Smarties taboo, another defining moment for Gen X Canada.

Snow-der, he wrote.

A lot of the stuff we ingest shouldn't be considered food.

I am on Team Pluribus

@ptothemtothep.bsky.social hoping all's well!

The wind is starting to sound wintery.

"Those Old Scientists" - so much fun!

Not me trying to pick holes in Wrath of Khan's plot on a Friday night and shaking my head again at the prefix code.

So yeah, I miss baseball.

Nothing like going a dealership to get your snow tires put on and learning that your MVI is overdue - oops. Goodbye to 2 hours that I wasn't expecting to spend today.

I think we've graduated from TGIF to TFIF.

Third workout this week today, after work. Quota met.

Guys, I drove by 40+ crows in trees this morning and I think they were plotting a [grouping of crows].

*clears throat, breathes in* My name is Mark and in this digital world I'm a printaholic. *exhales* [with apologies to those who do struggle with actual addictions and disorders, although sometimes I do feel a burning need to print a few pages instead of reading them onscreen]
