You. Yes, You.

You. Yes, you.
I see you.
Sitting with a cup of coffee, crossing the street juggling kids and groceries, dozing on the bus, putting in yet another double shift, smiling even when it’s hard, waiting in line to send Christmas presents, working late into the night.
I see behind your public face to the child you used to be, the dreams you still have, the hopes you carry for the future.
I see you.
And I carry those hopes for you too.

Today marks our very first flecks of snow, quite small and not anywhere near accumulating, but snow nonetheless.
According to Extreme Weather Watch: The earliest in the season it has snowed in Ottawa, Ontario is October 8 which happened in 1979.
Noted here for posterity.

I know, I talk about the moon a lot, but it’s cool and bright and… has its own Art Deco-esque digital card game?
Google’s Rise of the Half Moon
Sure, that’s fun, why not? 🙂

I like work for a number of reasons but some days, I just need a little break. And, apparently, 11,000 Post-Its animating a year in the life of illustrator Daren Jannace.
Goofy, yes. Fun, yes. But the most useful message in this project for me is that even small amounts of work add up over time.
And now, back to work!

Updates on the Arc of the Moral Universe – McSweeney’s Internet Tendency
The arc of the moral universe is running very late. It’s sitting in standstill traffic behind a fleet of Amazon delivery vans, a burning Tesla, and a stretch limousine with Truck Nuts.
The arc of the moral universe is leaning on the horn.
The arc of the moral universe shouldn’t have stopped for that latte.
The arc of the moral universe owes you an apology.
