Broke my tablet and my bike was stolen...
It's a bit disappointing to lose these items however for me they were mostly luxury toys and I can certainly live without them. In the case of the tablet it may actually be quite a good thing.
So long as my coffee maker keeps working I'm still going to call it a good week.

I've been using a shared host for a #wordpress site mail and #nextcloud for a few years with moderate satisfaction.
I'm going to be testing self hosting nextcloud for a little bit to see if I have better luck with performance and specifically notifications (cron on my host doesn't work because of permissions and webcron is inconsistent)
Though I have successfully hosted a test server before (rocket.chat) I'm no sysadmin.
Wish me luck!
May be looking for a mail provider soon
Reflecting on my 1yr old at Pride (and pic) Show more
A tasty reminder of Pride week in #Edmonton
All work and no play make Jack a dull boy
Great park day with the tots.
We went to Borden Park #yeg because I like being surrounded by the trees, it has great play structures and even a great art piece.
The children did enjoy a slide or two but the true joy was in the friends they made and games they invented together (which only involved grass and a picnic table)
I asked what the names of their playmates were. They didn't know, but could tell me in detail the games they liked to play together. There's some 3yr old wisdom in that.
My good friend and brother living and expressing his Christian faith through the teachings and traditions of his Cree heritage.
I'll actually be smudging with him this morning at St. George's Anglican in Edmonton.
Helping with night time feedings had the unexpected benefit of making sure I was awake to watch the Royal Wedding.
I choose to believe that the spectacle did in some part mean that 100s of millions of people the world over were celebrating the gift we are to one another when our lives and hearts are given in humble loving sacrifice.
There isn't much of historical and national Anglicanism that I'm proud of. I did enjoy most of the sermon offered though and am thankful for his faithfulness.
Hello World!
Dr Joe Schwartz just blew my mind...apparently there are more bacteria cells than human cells in our bodies!
My body is more NOT-me than me. Amazing!
Of course it is all me, but who I am, even in the case of solely my own body, is the product of a complex set of relationships and interactions in an ecosystem.
My friend Rev. Scott Sharman writing about "A Common Word" an initiative to encourage dialogue between Christians and Muslims.
The relationships and partnerships that have grown from participating in the dialogues have been a personal blessing as well as promoted the work of common good.

A UK resource but the principles are wide applicable.
A new tiny human has come into the world (and my heart).
Thank God for the gift of life and for the brain chemicals that are currently drowning out the fears and anxieties of being responsible for another life.
The other two are Everly and Jude
So baby is to be born on Monday and we need a name?
Any great names folks are willing to suggest for this child?
I'm thankful to have 9wks home during this transition. I was a 9mo stay at home dad with our previous and would certainly prefer that.
In 5 days my wife and I will be welcoming a new tiny human into our family!
This will be our 3rd child and there are certainly still moments (though fewer) of panic and fear. This is the 1st time I've been looking forward to some aspects of parenting a new born though.
My journey as a parent, partner and person obviously continues to evolve.
I'm also excited for the siblings to meet the newest little one!
An adventure day with the young ones who are so inspired by every tree, every hill was a mountain to climb (and run down) but the greatest joy was found in squishing the mud with their boots.
