There I was concerned a bookish event I wanted to do might overlap with a huge annual fibre event. Turns out it doesn't, but it's on the first day of Rosh Hashanah. Sad :(

Through no design whatsoever, it would seem that my primary engagement approach over the last month has been to royally screw up emails to dozens or thousands of people, and spend a lot of lovely and enjoyable time chatting with them when they reply to those emails thoroughly confused or concerned. I do not recommend you try to replicate this approach, but overall I'm reminded by it that most people are wonderful, and I have no regrets.

So proud of my parents, who have channelled heartache into action for 20 years. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8u3QsTc0ZPc

Tonight I learned that the M. Night Shyamalan reason I listened to so much Blues Traveler in high school is the season finale of Poker Face.

@CBCCho I have to say, to be on CBC to talk about the weather was such an epically Canadian experience for this immigrant!

“I grew up in Upstate New York. There were days where we had a two-hour delay … to let people get safely to school. … We had #snow here in Dunbar at the top of the hill on 16th … when it was raining in Kitsilano…. And so having an awareness that everybody needs to be safe, and that not everybody may be facing the same challenges to get to school — I think would do us all very well.”

I have been in tech-support hell for DAYS AND DAYS about all kinds of issues related to criminally terrible documentation, tech that was never updated for the (not new anymore, folks) internet age, and baffling user interfaces. But I just solved an issue (not really related to any of those things) by myself, and I've decided this means THE TIDE IS TURNING, my friends.

Today I willingly used a Microsoft Office product for the first time in like 18 years, and it worked out of the gate. The membership software we run our online magazine on was sold. This day is upside down, and I can't tell if I want to set it on fire or, like, ignore it all.

[I'm guardedly optimistic about the membership thing, but bracing for instability.]

@gordlau @gwerker Two of us work remotely from different cities, so must be cloud-based. We are happy to manually import sales reports into the system.
