Crypto
We’re so back. Ky and I have been putting together our financial planning for the future, and have decided that we’re going to put 90%+ of our savings into low fuss investments. Savings accounts. ETFs. Boring stuff that works out over time. But that’s not 100%, which allows us to have a measured dance in…

Birthday Tradition
Ky and I went to a friend’s birthday BBQ last night. It was a lovely evening, although it went through a little bit of a gear shift in the final third, but that isn’t relevant to the story. What I wanted to write about is a that the woman who hosted us announced that she…

Purgatory Pt. 2
I’m back at my least favourite place, the DMV. Sorry to disappoint one particular reader (you know who you are), but I have neither lost my licence nor been in a roadside accident. Au contraire, I’m here to pick up my full licence. Suck it, Ted. It’s a surreal experience, and while it got off…

Eric Schmidt
My friend Jason and I went to see Eric Schmidt, the former CEO and Chairman of Google, speak today at the Denver AI Summit. He was really, really impressive. What made him stand out, you may ask? For me, it was his lucidity and his comfort on stage. We have all seen someone perform poorly…

Usher
The countdown to baby continues, and we’re making the most of our time together as DINKs. Last week it was Fred Again. This week, it was RnB superstar, Usher. Next week will most likely be watching Ratatouille at home on the couch. Usher is awesome. He has a great catalogue of songs, and despite being…

Defanged Eagles
Last night I caught up with some friends to watch the second half of the Philadelphia Eagles play Atlanta. The bar we went to was known as an “Eagles” bar, and for my non-American readers, they carry quite a reputation. Think of Collingwood, or Rangers. They’re loud, passionate, and don’t take kindly to being beaten.…

Floor-drobe
It’s a task that has been burning a hole in me for some time, the floor-drobe, aka a floor based wardrobe, but no more. Biting the bullet, I decided to redo the entire thing, storing some clothes, throwing out others, and making sure the whole place was built for purpose. It wasn’t fun, it took…

Oasis
As you probably know, the Gallagher brothers are reforming the hit band Oasis after over a decade on hold. Unsurprisingly, their tickets are selling like hot cakes. And why wouldn’t they? They’re in a perfect space where their music was very, very popular with people who are now in their 30s and 40s. The type…

Car Time
Ky and I have a car! After weeks, if not months, of negotiations, credit checks, test drives, and scrolling websites, we are finally proud owners of a Mazda CX-5. It’s not the fastest, or sexiest, or most teched out vehicle on the road, but it gets us from A to B, is surprisingly fuel effective,…

Debate Recap
Well, I hope you weren’t too hungover after yesterday’s debate. Here are my thoughts, based on watching the event, reading a few blogs on it, and listening to two podcasts, one central/liberal (NYT’s The Daily) and the other more conservative (The Ben Shapiro Show by The Daily Wire). What next: Kamala Harris is already offering…
