Discovered a quirky museum spotlighting local artists and found in their gift shop a zine that a former student of mine contributed to. Double win!
Je suis content de découvrir combien il est facile de changer mon site Hugo en version multilangue, mais il y aura des conséquences pour le POSSE si je ne suis pas attentif…
Playing the Portal series with kiddo is going well, except that she is (understandably, tbh) freaked out by the Valve screen that appears when you first load it.
One of my favorite ways of stretching my Hugo and Siri Shortcuts skills is thinking about features I could build into my website based off of what other services already offer. Thinking about building a game session logging system this summer…

What kind of children’s performer has three different “no photos” reminders before the show even starts?
Kiddo’s Father’s Day card has been addressed to “Dr. Spencer Greenhalgh,” which is technically accurate but still feels off.
Woke up with protest music from Andor playing in my head, which seems fitting.

Road trip tomorrow, so downloading Portal to kiddo’s Switch to see if she’s old enough to enjoy it.
Il n’y a pas d’anxiété sans été.
Kiddo just apologized for being the “baron of bad news,” and that’s how we’re all going to say it from now on, okay?
Who schedules an academic conference to overlap with Halloween? And how long ago did they stop having kids at home?
Kiddo: wonders why I am talking about disabling predictive text on the iPad she’s using
spouse: “well, Daddy is a monster who doesn’t even use autocorrect”
me: “excuse me, I think you mean I’m a ‘mnoster’”
