Tom Wilson fighting at the Olympics?

I recently started watching DS9 for the first time and just finished "The Visitor". What a beautifully written and acted piece of television.

Had 168 people through our #HamOnt Winterfest "learn to curl" event. 🥌

Celebrini is only 19.

Went to Costco on my lunch.

It's likely me, but I'm increasingly finding a lot of games instill a feeling of "I don't care about anything happening on screen right now"...while not having gameplay good enough to overcome that. This Bluesky post brought to you by Star Wars Outlaws, Avowed, and The Outer Worlds 2.

Canada vs. USA - Women's Preliminary Olympic hockey set to go at 2PM EST today? Can't wait. www.cbc.ca/sports/olymp...

I made a map of 3.4 million Bluesky users - see if you can find yourself! bluesky-map.theo.io I've seen some similar projects, but IMO this seems to better capture some of the fine-grained detail

Hamilton against Nazi dipshits

Do the Super Mario ads take precedence over the CBC Olympic feed because he's an Italian plumber?

Bitcoin crashing? Should have read my book. www.amazon.com/dp/B078ZJJXQ3

Have Olympic mixed-doubles curling on in the background. Despite not noticing it in my day-to-day, I am currently *hyper-aware* of the Canadian accent.

Can't say I'm shocked. I think it's a safe bet that we'll continue to see current generation console prices climb and new hardware releases slow to a trickle.

Hamilton has a day called "Winterfest", where places across the city put on events. My curling club is part of it, so I volunteered to be slotted in anywhere. I've been put at an on-ice station where I need to explain both the on-ice features and history of the game (lines, house, etc.). 🥌

I'm the keynote speaker for the 2026 @mcmasteruniversity.bsky.social Oncology Education Retreat. I'm giving a 2-hour talk on 'The Realities and Practicalities of AI'...which essentially is about not falling for the hype + the need to maintain/instill critical thinking skills in ourselves/trainees.

I designed a 3D printable, Gridfinity compatible tray for guitar pedals. There's a trough to facilitate the nub found on Boss guitar pedals and wiggle room for larger pedals. You can download it at Printables and Makerworld and find links on my site: www.jasonlamb.org/portfolio/3d...

Finally getting around to doing something with the Mac Classic. Surely tapping into the CRT can't be that hard.

We went 2,179 days without a goalie fight in the NHL, then had two in 13 days.

Passed the 160,000KM mark last night. This 2011 Corolla is going to live forever.

Friday night bowling.

Damn, Catherine O'Hara. If you've never seen SCTV (because it's not streaming anywhere and last had a DVD release in 2004/05)... S1: archive.org/details/sctv... S2: archive.org/details/sctv... S3: archive.org/details/19-m... S4 + 5: archive.org/details/66-s... S6: archive.org/details/sctv...

A lot of people change clothes before curling at my club, but I just wander in and grab my shoes from my locker. Skip turned to me yesterday, almost three years into curling with him: "...do you always wear jeans when curling then?" 🥌

Currently debating whether to throw out a bunch of old nails and screws

Stuck it online. You can download it from Printables + Makerspace. www.jasonlamb.org/portfolio/3d...

I'm curious what effect enshittification and vibe coding has had on security. I know I personally hold off on updates because of the constant nagging feeling of "is this update going to remove features or break something?". www.engadget.com/computing/mi...

Quietly contemplating the fact that my job could be performed completely remotely vs. the snow making my 8.6KM/5.3 mile drive into the office take 45 minutes this morning.

Backordered a 3D Printer on December 16th, and picked it up January 16th. I have a bunch of projects I intend to use it for, but have been sucked down the Gridfinity rabbit-hole. Gridfinity is a grid-based modular storage system: all3dp.com/2/gridfinity...

Snowwwww dayyyyy

Shoveled for half an hour and then said "well, may as well go for a wintery walk".

Canada

Annnnd I'm 38

Just talked to my 91 year old grandpa. There's a big storm hitting tomorrow, and we're supposed to be getting 25cm/10" of snow. Grandpa: "Oh, I hope so! That's good exercise. Last weekend I was out there for over an hour and a half shoveling." Don't think there's many 91 year olds doing that.

#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched Started diving into things I haven't seen on the @letterboxd.social top-100 animated list (and watched a Marx Brother film). It's been a real mixed bag for me so far. letterboxd.com/lifeasfictio...

Body woke me up at 4:45am. I know I'm tired because I made a pot of tea and then set a timer to let it steep. I eventually came back, poured myself a cup, and then realized I forgot the "tea" part of a "pot of tea". I had just steeped water.

Awwww yeah, AHL hockey back in #HamOnt.

Academics continue to be my favourite.

"Super Mario Bros. Wonder – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Meetup in Bellabel Park" really rolls off the tongue.

Had a late draw for curling last night (9pm) and it went to extra ends and then a shootout. 🥌 Got home at about 11:45pm. A litttttle tired this morning.

If you'd like a good read that touches on why @mark-carney.bsky.social speech is such a departure from the "norm", I'd highly recommend David E. Sanger's "New Cold Wars: China's Rise, Russia's Invasion, and America's Struggle to Defend the West" (2024).

Put together and skipping a team for a curling Pig-spiel in March 🥌 Comes with breakfast, hot lunch, and a hot roast pig dinner. Teams are also "awarded meat prizes of various values depending on where they finish in the spiel." And oh, I'm going to win those meat prizes.

Always shocked when the car starts up in -24 degree weather.

The last year or so is increasingly making the Bush-years look tame.

Habs going from initial rebuild + being a bottom 5 team from 2021/22 - 2023/24 to being in the 2024/25 playoffs + having the following this year is great as a fan: - 3 players in the top-50 pts - A top-3 defenseman by pts - Top rookie by pts - 7th in the league - Second youngest team in the NHL

excellent work by @theonion.com this month

I can't fault the Dodgers as they're playing well within the current rules of the game. But I'd find baseball *so* much more interesting if there was a salary cap + floor.
