As someone who loves to be on time, I found this laugh-out-loud funny 😂
I’m a big fan of Apple’s AirPods and they are normally connected to my phone to listen to a podcast.
It’s always a bit tedious to connect to my MacBook Pro for team calls, until now.
I found this great Alfred Workflow (at the bottom of the article) to quickly connect. It works great!
In 2018, I’m going to try to document our lives better. In 2017, I posted daily from Jan 1 thru September, then fell off the wagon.
Let’s see if I can make it a full year this time.
This is a fun skit that pretended an Apple Store was in the subway and folks were lining up to buy the iPhone X.
Our little guy is going to complement sissy’s costume of Rapunzel as Pascal, her friend the chameleon.
First day of snow in Ohio.
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!
My CrossFit gym, Bombers celebrated their fourth anniversary and it was roughly my second anniversary of participating in CrossFit.
To celebrate we had four team workouts which had us doing wallballs, deadlifts, pushups, pullups, squats, rope climbs and partner carry.
Each workout was tough, but a lot of fun to workout and compete with friends.
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 😎
