I’m the partner to an amazing person, and am a dad, geek, and gamer in Edmonton. I tend to talk about video games a lot, along with various randomness.

It is almost time for the traditional yearly viewing of the Muppet Christmas Carol. Still the best version of it, and I will die on that hill.

Heads up to artists still using Twitter- Twitter is now adding an "Edit image" button under all images posted on the site that allows everyone to feed it into genAI and modify it as they wish with a prompt

If you begin Star Trek: Voyager episode Spirit Folk at exactly 11:49:35 on New Year's Eve, Ensign Harry Kim will kiss a cow as the clock strikes midnight. Join in a very dumb annual tradition and start 2026 off on the right hoof.

Being the only person on my team in the regional office I go into is annoying this time of year. So many people having team holiday parties or get togethers, and I’m just sitting here doing more Teams calls.
My work team is awesome, I wish we physically worked together.

It’s always a pleasure when @jessecox.bsky.social is on the Grinding Gear podcast with @garrettart.bsky.social & @kylefergusson.bsky.social - so much randomness and entertainment. 💜

This morning’s trip to the gym was a bit of a pain. Firstly, it was -30 outside, then I forgot to bring my earbuds so I didn’t have music or podcasts, then someone did the rudest thing ever. In a line of 20ish treadmills, where only two were being used, someone chose the one immediately next to me.

Anyone else just not really into the Christmas mood this year? With everything going on in the world, it’s been rough.

You are ABSOLUTELY NOT going to regret listening to this bird:
A male rock ptarmigan (Lagopus muta) in winter plumage.
Ptarmigan is from Gaelic 'tarmachan' meaning "croaker". The p- was added when people mistakenly assumed it was a Greek word.
A bird forever warning people: "A werewolf!" (just in case of werewolves).

Well shit. Looks like Factorio is back on the menu, boys!
Took a break from it for a while because I was getting frustrated, and now I’m resuming my game with more patience. (For now.)

Alt: A spidertron from Factorio has some legs on conveyor belts, making it look like it’s spinning records. There are multicoloured lights flashing around it, like a light switch rave.

After not touching it since May, played some Final Fantasy XVI today. The visuals, the combat, the story, they all work really well for me. I just needed to be back in a single player rpg mood, apparently.

One good thing about my work start time being at 6 am is that I avoid the inevitable traffic nightmare coming during the morning commute.
