The Fable of the Caterpillar
Imagine this scenario for a moment: You’re out driving your car, on a residential street, well under the speed limit, when all of a sudden you smush a caterpillar under your wheel. Picture something like this little guy, hairy and about an inch long ⬇️. I’m willing to bet that you didn’t see the caterpillar,…
Day 1 of real LRT in Ottawa
Not a whole lot to say here, but this feels like a big day in Ottawa! I rode the LRT today just before it ‘officially’ opened, and was surprised and impressed with how normal it all felt! I’m really excited that my daughter will get to grow up with a real, volume public transit system,…
What a Difference 5 Years Makes
We finished our move on Thursday, June 6 in to our new house, and we couldn’t be happier about it! The view at our old place has changed quite a bit since we first moved in (the lot across the street is fully developed now, and the building you can see has been demolished, for…
Spider-Verse: My Favourite Movie of the Last Decade
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is what I’m calling my new favourite movie since Forgetting Sarah Marshall [2008] (and they’re so different, don’t even bother making me rank them).

What’s Missing from Gmail (Compared to Inbox)
It’s been a long time that we’ve known that Inbox by Gmail is going away, and to be honest, I understand the decision to deduplicate the development time required to keep two apps and sites updated (Gmail/Inbox). However, I’ve never actually taken the time to describe in detail the missing features that never made it…
Cell Phones, And The Amazing (Non-) Exploding Gas Pump
Have a look at the following news story and tell me if you notice anything odd about it: Now, it’s difficult to get the full scope of this news story without looking at the report, and unfortunately it got taken down as of the writing of this piece (unclear why, but the page is a…
SNC-Lavalin And Why It’s So Hard To Watch The News (For The Truth)
I’ve noticed recently (maybe it’s just because I’m paying more attention to political news lately) this very annoying trend when it comes to news stories that get even a little bit of attention. This video by Vox is talking about the Green New Deal, but I feel like I feel the exact same way about…
