Did you know that the word "Westmount" comes from the Greek meaning "land of houses that Desmond will never own"? :P

It ends. Finally.

Well, this is quite embarrassing.  Thank you for the information! Actually, my blog entries on my feed page did have p-names but I think I accidentally made them part of the e-content, and I suspect that's why they were not showing up. And, yes, my published date was embedded in my h-card for silly reasons that I won't get into. Anyway, I think (hope) I've fixed both issues if you want to try again.

I love how comiccon isn't cancelled, it's just "postponed" until next year.

Excellent :-) I seem to recall enjoying Jen Kirkman and Tig Nataro as well

Carrot cake, cut through

I'm a big fan of John Mulaney's stand-up. Mike Birbiglia is also really good.

First time making carrot cake. And first time doing a crumb coat! Most of my previous caves have been simpler ones like pound cake, with no frosting.

Not a good week. https://xkcd.com/2293/

Hey everyone! I made roasted potatoes that were actually crispy!

Easter brunch with creme egg donut from local fancy donut shop :)

Honestly, "The Fifth Season" was one of the few examples of second person writing that I actively enjoyed, and that didn't feel unusual for the sake of unusual.

I find that "Learn enough about topic X to have an informed opinion about it" is a too nebulous to be useful.  So I don't try to do anything like this. Better would be something like "Read 3 well-regarded books on topic X", and hopefully one's opinion just improves after that.

Heh. I configured my VoIP landline to show up as Batman on call display :) Particularly funny when I use it to make restaurant reservations. (Yes, I have a landline. Leave me alone.)

If you've read my previous articles on the IndieWeb, you might be forgiven for thinking that its members are, by and large, loners who keep to themselves.

Consider the concept of a "like", for example. On a site like Twitter, a like is an action you perform against another person's content; you click the heart icon next to someone's tweet, and the like counter for that tweet goes up. It's an implicit connection between two people - the one who did the liking and the one who received it.

It begins

And here is a picture of my cat in a box. You are welcome. @FyreByrde

Cats and boxes, amirite?

First time making split pea soup!

Remember when outside wasn't dangerous? Good times.

I am really not sure what my street is going to look like in 6 months.
