8r4d Waiting to board for a looooong flight to #japan from #vancouver. We’ve never flown eastbound before so even tho I’ve been in this airport a lot, I don’t think we’ve ever been in the international terminal. [read more...]

8r4d “you gotta train on something…” she says, while we watch someone get lessons driving the airport ramp while we wait for our first flight.

8r4d Now that the snow has arrived and the cold winds are whipping through the streets, our Sunday #running adventure was a little chillier than we’ve been acclimated. We logged a simple eight klick run plotted to keep the wind at bay and avoid the too icy trails. Post-run coffee tho was definitely a warm up.

8r4d The [insert varmint here] definitely saw its shadow and now there’s six months of #winter left. First #snow of the season, huh.

8r4d Today marks the third anniversary of this applet and website. Back in November 2022 I launched the first version of a little tool to share some pics of our New York vacay while simultaneously avoiding Big Social Media.

I never would have thought I’d still be using it three years later, let alone spending a full day improving the code (yet again!) But here we are.

I haven’t still not decided if I’ll ever release said code, but I’ve been working quite a bit to ensure it is stable and secure. I’ve added new features over the last couple months and just this past weekend stabilized my dashboard login so that it’s secure and reliable while traveling and posting on foreign networks. It been more work than actually packing for the trip itself!

8r4d Our Sunday #running adventures culminated at another race. I haven’t raced in well over a year so the ole start line anxiety kicked in pretty hard. It was raining and cold but not quite freezing, so sixteen klicks was tougher than it should have been, but I got it done in the end.
