Yes, I am relatively well and blogging again! My latest post is a response to the Mac Admins Podcast episode with Kitzy. I talk about lore, choosing a workplace first, and leadership.

The variety of T-shirts I have been wearing to treatment has become a discussion item for staff. So I thought I’d share what I’m wearing for my last 3 radiation treatments:

#curling synthetic blue long sleeve.
#UCalgary crested green, long sleeve cotton.
#MacSysAdmin 2025 charcoal short sleeve
Hat: #WASBE 2019 Buñol black #WindBand.
Representing my communities!

The latest update to my Mac Hardware / Software Chart is now available, listing support (or lack thereof) for macOS Tahoe. This will also be the final update to the chart, but if someone wants to adopt it, I have now released the chart into the public domain (excluding apple's © icons, of course).

The #CFL dropped some major structural rule changes to be implemented over the next two seasons. Clearly, the new commissioner and the board of governors don't understand the Canadian game. Their new game is 3-down American football. And American football is BORING. I hope Junior🏈/USports choose not to adopt the changes so that I can continue to enjoy Canadian Football in my remaining days. Because I won't be watching the #CFL next season for the first time in 55 years.

Also, a gentle reminder to my #macadmins colleagues of my blog post from four years ago that seems particularly relevant today:

My latest blog post is partially related to Mac admin stuff, but is more personal in nature. And I didn’t want to stand up a new blog just for this. It tells an epic tale that starts at #psumac, where I hit a wall, and brings you right up to today. (And “epic” in this context means “overly verbose in my usual way.”)
