You can also repalace running with “move your body”. In my almost 50 years on this planet I haven’t found any drug that regulates my brain better than getting outside and moving.
Feel tired?
Run.
Feel anxious?
Run
Feel depressed?
Run
Feel hopeless?
Run
Feel happy, satisfied, and overall content?

I’ve worked in the tech industry my entire life. I started as a web developer back when the web was still full of promise and good vibes. When people wanted to truly connect and enshitification hadn’t taken over yet.
I’ve previously mentioned that I’m leaving tech as a I no longer stomach working for this industry and what it’s turned into.
In his latest newsletter Mike Monteiro talks about all of this much more eloquently than I ever could. Give it a read.
I love it when I discover a movie, TV show, book, whatever that I’d never heard of before. I think I discovered this movie from some random reel in Instagram.
Yes, the time loop trope has been done to death at this point but I thought this was a lot of fun.
This is incredibly embarrassing and gross. I keep hoping for a new tech hardware startup with actual values (like Apple used to have) will appear.
New toy has arrived. 🤓🎙️
I’ve seen a few people sharing their laptop sticker collection today so I thought I’d jump in.
I don’t have any on my MacBook but my iPad Pro is full of them. 😉
There are some cool little effects hiding in iOS 26. I love this faux 3D effect you can add to your lock screen. #Apple #iOS26
Apple public bets are out! Immediately installed on my M2 13 inch iPad Pro. I do a lot of my work on this machine and I’m still a little shocked we finally have windows on iPad OS.

Depression is a hell of a thing. I feel like I am drowning. My head briefly gasps for air above the waters surface while I sleep, then I wake up and I’m pulled back under. I cannot breathe, I’m tired, I wish I could give up.
You know the coffee shop is good when they have a collection of vinyl to choose from. 😎☕️
Resume Slop, or Being Unemployed in 2025
I was going to save this article for my weekly “what I’ve been reading” post but I’m too exhausted and equally pissed off, which means this deserves its own post. The résumé is dying, and AI is holding the smoking gun Full disclosure, I was laid off from my position with a tech startup last year. I’ve worked in Tech my entire life, I’ve been laid off before, unfortunately it comes with the terriftory.
I have not been a good poster this week! I’ve been busy moving and dealing with everything that comes with that.
I’m taking a break to share this attempt at introducing our rescue to our old and sassy cat. 😾🐶
I was going through one of my old tech bins and came across these gems. Anyone remember iPod Socks? Yes these were a real thing that Apple sold. I personally love them.
Sketched Out
I forgot to add this short, beatiful article to my weekly link post today. It captures the struggle creatives are facing with the rise of AI.
New Shoes, Same Treadmill #5
Stuff I’m doing 👨🏻💻 Last week I mentioned our basement flooded. We’ve dried everything off as best we can and we’ve had to pull up some of the carpet in the worst spots. The insurance adjuster came by and said it looks like it’s a result of the water table rising, not a leak in the walls or windows. So now we wait to hear back regarding what will be covered.
Happy Canada Day to all who celebrate! 🇨🇦
