@cory I just have a few aliases for my eleventy site, `blog` for compiling the site and `blogbu` to see the local version. Your CLI is awesome! A great way to improve usability for yourself. I’m jealous.

What exactly is life? At a cursory level, life seems to consist of redundant, mondane, and illusory properties. Our lives are incomplete and wasteful. We would be wise to futher our sustainability goals.

Nothing when you win the poker game,
It’s not what I wanted it’s just,
I have a tendency to push until the molecules break. ā€œ

Everyone was excited. And our house was white with white walls and white chairs and white bed sheets. (2/2)

Last night I dreamt that I met Canadian PM Mark Carney. He was stranded and so he spent the night at our house. A took the opportunity to have a call-in interview with Radio-Canada and the CBC and cross promote a local nonprofit. Then, I introduced him to Propagandhi as a band that reflects on social issues, including First Nations. We pranked my wife before dinner. And then, friends came over for dinner and they sang Taylor Swift karaoke and Mr. Carney also sang. (1/2)

A somewhat explained ongoing history of IPTV, and old habits still dying harder on my blog theonlyblogever.com/blog/2025/.

Lately, I've been thinking about the possibility of a 12" laptop, thin, light, size of the iBook G4 (2005) being a base for a retrofit machine for some quiet writing and browsing. Maybe, I should just get an old netbook or the MNT Pocket.

I want to build a building out of concrete and cinderblock. Why? I don’t know. It would be cool to build a structure myself, even if it takes years.

@djwfyi This actually helps me visualize the concept in my head pretty well.

@cory Do you write the artists pages? Or source from elsewhere?

I’ll wake up early and meal prep breakfast sandwiches or wraps instead. I’m no longer treating every fast-food breakfast stop as my personal chefs cupboard. It’s over. My addiction is over. No more burnt coffee! Besides, it’s literally raising my cholesterol. Shortening my lifespan by measurable amounts.

Fuck you McDonalds Canada. You’ve been ruining my life for far too long. It’s not me it’s you…

That’s it. I’ve deleted the McDonalds Canada app from my phone and my account for the last time.

No more picking up a coffee or a breakfast sandwich on the way to work and scarfing it down in the car. Putting crumbs in the car that I’ll never take the time to get out and sending coffee drips flying. I’m done. No more. I don’t need to waste that money. 6-11$ a day adds up. Even if it’s only a few times a week or month. It’s usually money that I don’t have. (1/2)
