Once again, @Sportsnet device verification broken. I love troubleshooting once a month instead of watching the game.

4yo: daddy, why only grown ups know passwords?

If you haven’t posted your personal opinion on generative AI yet how will everyone know you’re still relevant?

I can't believe I paid for @Sportsnet . The app going black, not coming back from commercials was tolerable. Now for 2 days it can't restore my purchase on Apple TV and the iOS app crashes trying to watch something.

Jenga but with dishes drying on the rack.

Ever get in the zone and forget to drink coffee? Literally the worst.

New Kendrick album. 🎧 Today is going to be great.

I think the likelihood of having a kid that never at any point sings “happy birthday to poop” is around 0.

Found a bone in my pizza. Stay safe out there.

Hot take: @Azure App Configuration pricing is way off what feels reasonable. Unless you're needing live updates to config across many things, most teams should just use Key Vault instead.
