Kind of a web guy in Guelph, Ontario.

Believe it or not, June marks the Iconfactory's 30th year in business. To help celebrate the occasion we're kicking things off with a sale of some of our most popular apps, plus other surprises. 🤓🎉

We hope you'll join us and thanks to all our fans, clients and supporters, we wouldn't be here without you.

Holy crap, WWDC is happening right now, and I didn't know. I totally missed the keynote. I am really tuned out on tech stuff these days.

My annual plug for citizen science in #epidemiology.

#Canada has a health project called Flu Watcher. I’ve been doing it since Covid.

Every Monday, an email gets sent to you.

It simply asks: Did you develop a cough or fever last week? Click Yes or No.

The anonymous data, matched with waste water sampling, helps scientists spot waves of contagious viruses before they get out of hand.

Top region for volunteers: #Yukon, #PEI, #Manitoba. Lowest: #Nunavut, #Quebec.

Second dose of Shingrix today. Pretty sure my arm is going to fall off. Worried about planned yard work tomorrow.

Still better than getting shingles.

Two of my favourite apps released major updates today! BBEdit turns 16 (versions, it's actually 34 years old), and Transmit put out a beta for v6!
Yesterday there was a heat warning in effect. Today? Frost warning.
Okay, I have seen multiple hackey sack circles around town. Is this a thing now? Are we really dredging that one up from the nostalgic depths? And can my aging Gen-X bones still hackey sack?
'It has been devastating,' U.S. spirits group says about Canadian alcohol boycotts | CBC News

Between some provinces not selling American alcohol — part of the response to the trade war started by the U.S. — and consumers choosing not to buy it, the actions have been "devastating," says the CEO of the Distilled Spirits Council of the United States.

Finished the original Mass Effect last night. I really enjoyed it, but I'm not totally sure why it enjoys such fanatically devotion amongst some players. Planning on continuing the trilogy after a brief Aliens diversion.
