Hi. It’s me. I’m the guy in his late forties running around the neighbourhood with a ten dollar bill trying to figure out where the ice cream truck is that I can hear. #summer

Looking forward to watching “The Tragically Hip: A National Celebration” tonight on CBC. I can’t believe it has been 10 years. #TheTragicallyHip #GordDownie #Canada

My heart goes out to the casts and crews of all the shows booked at Meredian Theatres at Centrepointe. All shows have been cancelled for the rest of the year due to flooding on July 1st. This includes the upcoming productions of Frozen and Come From Away. #ottawa

My #MBP M1 Tahoe is freezing daily. Puzzled. If I run any of the stats monitoring tools, CPU and memory seem to be fine. Appears to be something to do with files. Open apps run fine, until they try to do something like spawn a terminal instance, or try to retrieve a list of files. Ideas? #macos

The hungry red panda at the Prospect Park Zoo? Adorable. The HungryPanda delivery app scamming small businesses? Not adorable. So they will be paying $580,000 back. We'll keep pursuing companies that take advantage of New Yorkers, and we'll keep asking if we can pet a red panda just for a second.

DOOM fully rendered in CSS. Every surface is a <div> that has a background image, with a clipping path with 3D transforms applied. Of course CSS does not have a movable camera, so we rotate and translate the scene around the user.
