I’ve been listening to the graphic audio versions of The Stormlight Archives by Brandon Sanderson.

I just finished listening to Joe Abercrombie’s First Law Trilogy. The narrator was fantastic. Probably the best I’ve listened.

Check out the graphic audio versions!

As a Canadian, same. And so much more.

Then you get people who spell with Canadian and American spelling and you wonder if you’ve been spelling things wrong or if once again, American culture is slipping in.

They already send the tv’s out at cost to collect your data to sell.

They’re starting to ship them with chips in them to send the data away whether connected to WiFi or not

And they’re taking screenshots of what you watch, including when you plug in a laptop.

We’re almost there

Canada for me!

I’m a teacher. I’m looking forward to summer vacation starting June 29th where I get to have 66 days off to be with my 3 kids. They’re now at a really fun age and I can’t wait

Left for Dead 3

4 years ago next week marks my mom’s diagnosis and the 10 months that followed. Watching your loved ones go slowly insane and become unable to speak and move in such a short time (she was mid 50s) when they should be healthy changes you. Everything I look at, everything I think about is now looked at under a different lense. And given my age, there just aren’t a lot of people around me who have any idea what it’s like and assume it’s just handling the pain.

Like… no. I’m different now.

Before the reddit api, I used to read around 24-28 books a year depending on length (Sanderson’s tomes will always change that number because it’s like reading 2 or 3 regular books)

Last year I hit 35. I didn’t really read books over 1000 pages much last year but I definitely know I’m reaching for a book when I would normally doomscroll reddit.

Just discovered this last night. I will never go back to the bloat that is the Chromecast launcher. Holy fuck is this so much better.

Should probably make an effort to know so many as a Canadian but only know the one conversion

I’m always looking for creative “traditions” to start with my wife and kids. Have fun!

So… Your tablet runs on a cell signal?

That’s awesome! I just bought two of the Christmas village ones to start a new tradition with my family building it each year

Google gets it for pennies through google “rewards” app

Care to elaborate on your chartplotter setup? I’ve bought a boat and it has a GPS system in it but they don’t make the maps cards for it anymore so it’s kind of just a really fancy screen that tells me how fast I’m going

My children are old enough for Lego now.

I’m more excited for their Lego christmas gifts then they will be!

• Red Rising would be unreal
• Anything Sanderson would be nice. Especially his fantasy stuff but his Cytonic series would be good.
• The First Law Trilogy
• Codex Alera
• If Rothfuss wilould finish the friggin trilogy King killer Chronicles would be good

Does this avoid paying for their sync services? I’d love synced notes but to be honest, I wouldn’t use the feature enough to pay for it
