This was a scurrilous ad hominem attack on the integrity of City Council colleagues by @timtierney.ca. During a Term of Council when we've all sought to avoid the petty divisiveness of the last term, Councillor Tierney sadly brought us all lower yesterday. 1/ ottawacitizen.com/opinion/budg...

Riverside Southbound was closed at the hospital link turnoff. Just a small taste of Ottawa drivers. Detoured around through Alta Vista. On Alta Vista and ambulance with full sirens and lights, I pull over of course.

In terms of what’s understood to be socially acceptable behavior, normalizing the filming/taking pictures of people in public who are minding their own business (and putting it online) is one of the worst developments of the past 15 years.

I had a meeting earlier this week stuck in my craw. The client is talking about all the things they need to do to improve their online processes for AI. After 20 minutes of talking I asked, "What about customers?" You're building websites with AI for Google's AI - where are your customers in this?

Apple's Tahoe is absolute dog shit. The new UI isn't my thing, but the pervasive and persistent memory leaks are atrocious. It's like using a Windows in the early 2000's. I very much regret the update.

I’ve sometimes fallen into the trap of thinking that complementing a creative person for their work is less sophisticated or desired than discussion or debate about it but very often the best thing you can say to them is hell yeah and that doesn’t make you dumb it just makes you nice
