It’s been a couple weeks since we got back from our trip to Manhattan. While my daughter loved Broadway, I really got into the food, in particular hunting down a couple good bagel bakeries and sampling their authentic wares. Of course, this left me yearning for some New York back home, and wondering if I could replicate them in my own kitchen. Check out the recipe:

Another video from my New York files, this time a quick scan of the many views and sights we saw in the Big Apple.

I've been cautiously dipping my toe into the (decidedly non-corporate) fediverse of social media by spinning up an account on Mastodon. It has been an interesting week watching the platform soak up Twitters migrants this past week, including yours truly. Come follow me:

New York City | 3 years ago

A couple weeks back we took a short trip to New York City. I took about 30 minutes worth of footage on my phone, but I put together a much shorter sampling here.

8r4d I put together a little video from a few seconds of the thirty minutes of footage I took in NYC. It's over on Youtube and when I upgrade this site to let me embed videos maybe I'll repost it. For now though, you need to click the link:

8r4d It was rain-snowing this morning downtown and we got a rainbow... in November. The simulation is officially glitching.

Coding Chair | 3 years ago

I've been feeding my coding hunger lately and I propped up some old gaming library stuff that I wrote a few years ago, updating it as a standalone puzzle game. It's now a little crossword clue type game posted at the link below. Each day it randomly creates a new puzzle to solve. Five words, scrambled into bite-sized chunks, and you need to build the words and try to solve all five to win. Give it a try and let me know what you think.

Stantec Tower | 3 years ago

8r4d And not that this view from my office is ever really bad, but at 730am it is pretty glorious seeing the tallest towers in the city alive and all lit.

8r4d I don't like the lack of daylight during this deepest part of the equinox adjacent season, but I do like walking through downtown at 730am when everything is glowing.

8r4d Now that vacation is over, the holiday season is upon us, and with the lovely warm(ish) weather today I hung the #christmas lights up on the house. I'm not the first on the block but officially I think I'll leave them dark until December first.

Rec Center | 3 years ago

8r4d Sunday Runday? Almost. My days of confinement to the track and treadmill at the rec center might be ending soon. The physiotherapy efforts to rehab my #kneehab are improving my prospects of running outdoors again soon. I mean, that ice and #snow are gonna be serious factors to consider, but maybe when those sidewalks are a little more clear I'll be a little less injured.
