Quick intro: I'm a faculty member at UofT in Psychology, sitting somewhere at the intersection of vision science, cognitive psychology and human factors, with strong interests in driver behaviour and digital (screen) readability.

I'm the Least Important Mammal in my house and the cats know it.

We don’t tend to do much for Canadian Thanksgiving for two people… I usually use Yanksgiving as an excuse to make one of the lab’s favourite desserts and share it.
Cranberry-caramel tart

Some meetings, you tell the other party “you don’t need to thank me for taking the time, we’re giant nerds and part of a community.”

Other meetings, you spend rolling your eyes at the speakerphone and wanting to throw it through a wall.

I mean, there’s so much potential here

My undergrad dept used to do a Aristophanes reading every year

If it was work-related, I’d be less annoyed

Turns out that if I haven't been sleeping enough, my tolerance for "this call could have been an email" is very, very low.

Yup. And you can salt that hallway with prox mines and make it rather a lot easier.

I mean, there's strategic aiming as well.

Precision aiming, if you will

It'd be nice if they wanted to launder their reputations, rather than just be boring fools

I mean, impalement can be achieved with anything, it's just a question of force.

Much the same way, to paraphrase @funranium.bsky.social, anything can be a laser. Once.

The weather feels like fall again - it was 3C when we got up this morning - and my nasal allergies have decided they *hate* me today.

The double-action Aerius (a Canadian allergy drug that combines Desloratadine and Pseudoephedrine) is holding things at bay... but only barely

Hey, do any of you Warhammer nerds have a spare copy of TALES OF HERESY, edited by Kyme & Priestley?

It’s super expensive online, and I’d love to get it for our elder kid’s birthday.

(I know this is probably futile, but I gotta try.)
