I like the Siri watch face in WatchOS 4, as it normally shows my upcoming calendar appointments, but I don’t have anything, it shows a cute message like this:
Even though it’s 1:15 PM
How To Bypass Chrome’s HSTS Warnings
Simple article to point out how to get around Chrome’s error page when viewing an HTTPS site that doesn’t have a valid SSL security.
Simply type badidea on the page, and the site will load.
I’ve been giving the Firefox Focus browser app a try on my iPhone to have a more private experience while browsing the web.
Hopefully, I’ll see less ads (which are always blocked) and the sites will load quicker.
We took fall family photos tonight, even though it was 80 degrees outside.
Here’s one I snapped with my phone. I think the “real” ones are going to be 👍🏻
I’ve had the same Gravatar online for the past 5+ years and figured it was time to have some new headshots taken.
Here are the three that Jen took and I’ll be updating all my social profiles as I have time.
Thanks Jen!
Another neat new feature from WordPress.com
Google Photos is one of the most popular ways of storing and sharing photos online. WordPress.com is one of the most popular ways to blog. Wouldn’t it be great if they played well together — if you could use photos you’ve uploaded to Google on your site?
We thought so, too: starting today, you can browse, search, and copy photos from your Google account right from your blog posts and pages. Introducing: photos from Google!

I do not feel tall next to all of my tall colleagues!
This year’s group picture of Automatticians who self-identify as tall—and Rose for scale.

Here is a slow motion video of someone splashing me in the pool on vacation.
After my two feats of fitness, I decided to do a simple walk around the Lost Lake while I caught up on a few podcasts.
It was quite brisk, but the views were worth it!
Today I went on a hike with some colleagues up Blackcomb Ascent.
> The Blackcomb Ascent Trails are three interconnected uphill hiking trails that meander through beautiful old growth coastal rain forest terrain from Whistler’s valley bottom to the Rendezvous Lodge on Blackcomb Mountain. Upon completion, the trails will travel a total of 6.1km with a total elevation gain of 1,200 metres.
It was definitely one of the hardest hikes I’ve ever done, but the views were worth it!
Today I ran in the worldwide WordPress 5k with my colleagues.
Finished in just under 23 minutes. Which I think is pretty good, considering the last 5k I ran was last year.
We had a scavenger hunt today with some teammates and we found this cheap mountain bike.
It’s fun to call home during a trip and I can see everyone!
The first day of the Grand Meetup is reserved for spending time with our team.
Luminus wasn’t able to make it, but with the magic of Photoshop, he made the team photo 😂
On my way to Automattic’s annual Grand Meetup.
We made it home from our trip yesterday, but I didn’t include this picture of how we navigated thru the Atlanta airport.
Way way way better than pushing a stroller thru the airport 🙂
We left the hotel at 5:15am and started our journey towards Atlanta. Melody was able to get our flight changed to be a day earlier, but we had to drive to the airport.
The journey should take about 6.5 hours, but with all of the evacuees heading out at the same time, we got there in 11.5 hours. We ended up taking alternative routes the whole way there so we didn’t get stuck in gridlocked traffic.
We also stopped four times for gas/bathrooms.
And the kids slept great once we got in. Buddy boy really likes the boy doll Grandma got him.
We are on vacation in Daytona Beach and the hotel staff is preparing for hurricane Irma by playing sand bags everywhere.
We will be leaving tomorrow before they evacuate the entire resort.
Learning to play putt putt golf with nerf balls is much harder than expected.
This little girl loved her first movie in the theater: Cars 3.
Waiting to go to the beach with Grandpa.
A sample run of both the car seats in their bags. Too bad I have to unpack them so the kids can ride in them to the airport, then pack them back up before flying.
To get ready for our trip to Florida, I had to install a lighting kit for the travel trailer to get our luggage to the airport.
Took more time to take the car apart than it did to install the cable.
You use a hammer when changing the oil, right?
The weirdest thing I did today was sell at blender on Craigslist at my daughter’s swimming lessons.
I even had to plug it in in front of other parents to demo that it worked 😂
I’ve been working with our little chunky man to learn how to sit.
Today, he sat long enough to snap a photo!
When our car hits another milestone, I like to take a picture, so I can estimate approximately miles we drive.
Here’s the latest miles:
I woke up to an email from Delta letting me know they upgraded the first leg of my journey home to first class.
I’m pretending that they think I’m extra special and will get upgraded on every flight from now on. 😂
Glad I packed this lacrosse ball with me to relieve the tightness in my calf muscle.
Woke up in the middle of the night with a huge cramp; probably from the dozen hours of standing at the conference.
I got to travel to Anaheim to work at the Podcast Movement booth and I have to admit, it’s a pretty sweet booth.
At this Marriott hotel, you pick which floor you are going to and it tells you what elevator to get it.
Seems really efficient to me.
I used this ancient welder’s mask my dad gave me to take glimpses of the sun.
It isn’t the super high rated version, so I don’t think I burned my retina 😎
I barely use social media, but I’m hearing all kinds of things about this upcoming eclipse on Monday.
- Overheard someone at church say that their school is taking a calamity day on Monday due to the eclipse
- Our babysitter mentioned using a cereal box to make the viewing lens
- Someone in Dayton bought all of the eclipse glasses from Kroger stores and is selling them out of random parking lots around the city
- I’ve read an article about how people regret looking directly at the sun at one of the eclipses in the 1970s and now I’m paranoid that when I see a fuzzy spot in my eye I’ve somehow sunburnt my eye
- My wife is telling me that my plan of using a welding helmet is not safe enough to look directly at the sun
- What takes the cake is that my Nest Thermostat wanted to know if I wanted to participate in Eclipse Rush Hour to save energy
Maybe it will be cloudy on Monday and all this hype will be for naught.
Little man is ready for the beach. Only a couple more weeks.
❤️ that smile
No bun? No problem, simply put the cheese in between two patties.
I’ve been working this month on a few CrossFit goals and I’m making good progress on handstand pushups.
Push Ups – been working on these sporadically. Probably could get 30 straight (in one set only)
Handstand push ups – I got six unbroken today, which is well on my way to my goal of 10 straight
Handstand walk – blah. This one is hard. I have a hard time committing to the handstand and usually fall back on my feet.
Muscle Ups – I did a ring MU with a four pound medicine ball between my feet, so I’m definitely getting stronger. Tomorrow’s WOD had 5-4-3-2-1 of muscle ups and I’m going to try to go unbroken.

This shirt is so true about my dad.
Got to hang out with some of my buddies from high school and their families (and just happened to be 15 years after graduating high school).
Growing up we all lived within a mile of each other (in the country this is close 🙂).
Here we are with all our kids.
