At the dawn of social media your news feed was a simple, chronological, list of items that your friends had posted. You would log in and see what folks had to say, and if you hadn’t logged in for a couple days you might have to scroll down a bit to catch up. It was […]

A thankful post
It’s Thanksgiving again, and it’s been a couple years since I’ve done a post about what I’m thankful for. Despite dealing with being a bit sick with a depressed immune system from running so hot for so many weeks, I’m still feeling thankful. In particular, I’m very thankful this year for how my relationship with […]
Read moreQuick review: Snipperclips
When we first got our Nintendo Switch we quickly discovered a fun little indie game called Snipperclips. The gist of the game is that you and your partner are two shape, and you have the ability to ‘snip’ each other into other shapes. You then use your unique forms to do various challenges. Those challenges […]

That coming-down exhaustion
These past few weeks have been very busy for me both at work and personally. It’s performance review time at work, and so I was proactive and got everything done as early as possible. This meant a lot of very hard work getting a dozen performance reviews written and delivered in just a couple of […]

Biking in the cold
My wife had some running miles to get in today, and since I realized I’m closing in on my biking goal, I decided to go out and inch a bit closer to my 650 mile mark. There isn’t any snow on the ground, it was 31 degrees and the sun was out, so it was […]
Read moreDreary rainy day
I had Friday off of work to get some work done on some personal projects. It’s a rainy and dreary day which means that there’s not much incentive to spend much time outside. The November chill, combined with a constant mist, emphasizes that we’re not going to be getting any warmer. In some ways I […]
Read moreCSS what?
It’s been a long time since I’ve done much of anything with HTML and/or CSS. I used to be a hardcore web developer, and I could spit out code in my sleep. Granted this was all before the days of HTML5 and CSS and I never really made the transition away from table driven layout […]

Free Bikes 4 Kidz
Wednesday night, my beer and bikes group gave back to the biking community. We signed up to work a shift at an organization called Free Bikes 4 Kidz. This group takes donations of old bikes, and then does some cleanup and repair, before donating them to kids who don’t have bikes. It was started locally […]
Read moreThe annoying Super Bowl
Next year Minneapolis is hosting the Super Bowl. This was one of the perks of sinking hundreds of millions of public dollars into a stadium for a team that only plays a handful of games each year. At least they’ve re-opened US Bank stadium to people who want to run loops around the concourse, giving […]
Read morePlaying with some Panasonic cameras
This weekend my good friend Wes started talking about looking at a mirrorless camera setup. As someone who’s gone through that transition before I was curious about what he was considering. He told me that he was looking at the Panisonice line, specifically the G7 vs the GX85. As luck would have it, I was […]
Read moreMore iMac woes
On Friday night I got a call that the Apple store wasn’t able to confirm that my video card was dying and so they suggested that I wipe the drive and start over. I was incredibly frustrated with this because I know this isn’t an issue with the operating system. I get weird graphical artifacts […]
Read moreA beautiful snowy evening
Friday night I was out late marking the trail with friends, for a fun run on Saturday. As we finished up the evening we headed to 10K Brewing in Anoka, and on our way it started to snow. We had a couple beers and then I called it a night. As I left I looked […]
