George Chuvalo has died. Born on this day in 1937, he was a five-time Canadian heavyweight champion and twice fought Muhammad Ali. In 93 fights, he was never knocked down. Ali called him the toughest man he ever fought. He had 73 wins, 64 by knockout. RIP Champ. ๐Ÿ“ธ Toronto Sun

In case anyone needs it, to have the โ€˜mubble-fubblesโ€™ (16th century) means to have a fit of despondency or low spirits, such as the end-of-summer blues.

The older I get, the more I understand why people disappear into gardening, baking, reading, and long walks. Not because life got boring. Because peace became valuable.

I love living next to the ocean. Itโ€™s also great to live on a peninsula that extends out into to Atlantic Ocean. Why? Because we are blessed to experience sunrises and sunsets at horizon level. Tonight was no exception. Bonavista, NL #ShareYourWeather

My 85 year old Momโ€™s dementia quote of the day- โ€œItโ€™s pretty nice having all these covers around here to keep me warm.โ€ I told her she made all the quilts & afghans (more than a dozen) here when she was younger. โ€œI sure was thinking ahead then, wasnโ€™t I?โ€ Yes Mom, you were.

Remote work changed my life more than my salary ever did. The money obviously matters, but the real luxury is no commute, quiet mornings, midday walks, dinner plans after work, and actually having enough energy left to enjoy a life outside of my job.

The sysadmin who really saved your bacon is one whose name you donโ€™t know, because you never realized there was unsafety. The one you know is the one who picked your bacon up off the floor, washed it off, and youโ€™re happy it wasnโ€™t totally ruined.
Today is System Administrator Appreciation Day. Tag a sysadmin who has saved your bacon and say thank you. #CloudflareChat

Russia, China and Iran have signed the UN Cybercrime Convention. Until 11 days ago, Canada joined the US, Japan, and NZ in staying out. Without notice, it quietly signed despite human rights concerns. @KateRobertson_ joins my Law Bytes podcast to discuss. michaelgeist.ca/2026/07/episโ€ฆ

WarGames came out in 1983. The entire plot is basically Give an AI a game. Give it access to production. Forget about containment. Be surprised when it keeps optimizing. Forty three years later weโ€™re still rediscovering why segmentation matters.
