My 2018 Review, 2019 Preview
Each year I post a year in review/resolutions blog post. This site is my journal, and I use it to keep track on what past me has done.
Development Setup – For Mac OSX High Sierra – 1 of 2
I wrote a guide about this about five years ago – Ruby Newbies – My Ruby on Rails Recipe – but in the meantime, life has changed. We’re now on OSX High Sierra (about to introduce Mojave, so this will be obsolete in a couple of months), and because of that, everything is different.

Adventures in Wrestling – Me and Edge
There was a time I was a cool wrestling journalist who worked for TSN.ca. I got to hang out with a bunch of different wrestlers, and once upon a time I got to hang out with WWE Superstar Edge in the Blue Jay’s clubhouse for a day.
Our Disney Adventure
In April, we drove to Florida and spent a week in Disney, despite not being a traditional Disney family. This was our adventure, complete with A/C malfunction, and a heatwave that saw Florida without rain for 36 days!
