Even as a self-published and bootstrapped author in Nova Scotia, I am infuriated by the this draconian budget that will destroy diverse local voices, decimate the arts, and for what?
I got a 5TB drive for a couple hundred bucks, which is insane by my brain-standard but inline with the marching on of technology.
Luckily I can now store 2 Million eBooks, in case I need something to read.
(Technically it is for work...)
Doesnt matter if it is a club, a sport, or a hobby. If you want to be on the “show team”, the first step is to show up.

On the first leg of my trip to present at PodCamp 2026 in Toronto. Excited to see my PodCamp friends!

This game still rips. It was one of the best co-op arcade games ever.
If you are in the Toronto area next weekend, use my code 25ROUSE to get 25% off ticket (which are already very affordable) and come get the lowdown on Podcasting, the Industry, the People, & my MIND-BLOWING talk, State of AI in 2026.

Looks like they read my book(s).
Just your heart exploding from shoveling when the wet snow is 6 feet up my garage door.
Had to dig us and the chickens out of the "heartattack" snow drifts this morning. Grandpa used the ol' tractor to plow the driveway.
Now I'm tired and just started work.
Hard to come up with brilliant ads while I want to lay on the floor and die. My arms are gelatinous and typing is hard. Poor me.
In both editions of “Will AI Take My Job?” I predicted that labor, outside of high-expertise and healthcare, would be negatively impacted by AI.
I also said in both that UBI is needed now before a potential Job Cascade Failure.
Agreed. 🐓
This title made my Lol. Very clever!
Sometimes I feel like, “I should write this piece because people need to know this, though it’ll be a hard pill for some to swallow.”
Then I remember how many will argue against their own best interests and against verifiable facts, and just go give my chickens more sunflower seeds instead. 🐓 🐓

You just dont see car bras anymore.
“Holy shit, dude.”
Just use this to describe whatever is happening today in that Circus in ‘Murrica.

My latest SciFi story (free!) is now on Starfarers Cafe.
"...the fantastical tale of an information thief and a robot – except this is no ordinary robot, and the information thief soon finds herself on no ordinary journey. Can a wayward thief ever find redemption...?"

I never, ever, ever ever ever, ever ever, thought I would see a member of the Royal Family so close to the top be arrested. Could this be the beginning of the end of their dynasty?
I doubt it. lol
I used to jailbreak devices for a living. It was comically easy.
Story submitted to @starfarerscafe.bsky.social
Fingers crossed. 🫰
I did specifically write it to start in a cafe for this submission, but then the story morphed a bit as I went along, as stories do.
Sometimes stories write themselves and my job is just to express it on the page.

I love to #buyCanadian when I can. 🍁
My friend opened WhiteBearIT to supply security & managed services made or hosted in Canada.
Every post, aholes blast him for being hosted on USA cloud services. There are literally no 100% Canadian Cloud services if you look under the hood.
We can do better.
Part of the reason we have chickens.
