Check on your neighbors. Check on your family. Sometimes an AC stops working. Sometimes people end up outside out of necessity. Paying just a little bit extra attention to how someone is doing could save their life. This may require you to put down your phone which, we know, but you can do this.

i am genuinely surprised there hasnāt been an american christian movement to stop worshiping the āfalse godā of AI.
at every other modern technological movement this premise been true.
Cartoon of two Spider-Man characters pointing at each other. Text says āiPadOS ā over one and āmacOSā over the other.
Me after the 3rd time my toddler says she has to go to the potty in the space of 15 mins whilst weāre in a store.
Incredibly obvious art idea: make art that looks like it was AI but it was actually made by human.
Boom.

Next year?
My only piece of parenting advice is āact how you want them to actā because they will literally absorb and copy everything you do and say.
Sat holding my week old son, my second. (Heās perfect btw)
I didnāt realise how much having a second would show how much youāve changed and grown as a person since your first. Additionally, the world too. And itās only been 3 years.
Iām listening to new Bon Iver, can you tell?
I think parent influencers just try and reinvent the wheel unnecessarily; just use and do regular normal things.
Not everything needs a āhackā.
Sticking Velcro to you kids shoes and then sticking Velcro to the tray table on a plane so the shoes never go missing is not necessary; bags already exist.
(And I say this as someone who has taken multiple international and domestic flights with a baby.)
Toddlers are continuity experts.
Could my 3 year be any more of a 3 year old?
This is the combo: Stickers on shirt, stamps and fake tattoos on arm (from a recent birthday party), finger nails painted, princess dress up clothes on all whilst scootering (wearing a helmet for safety ofc), looking for treasure (leaves).
A roller coaster of people marked "Figma users" is being terrorized by a roller coaster going the opposite ways full of skeletons marked Sketch users, Invision users, Photoshop users, and Quark Xpress users

Whatās more fun than finding Little People figurines?! Finding Little People figurines thatās are in solo cups hiding!
Oh, and another favorite is pouring crayons between the cups to make āapple ciderā. Genius.
Who knew that clear plastic solo cups would keep a 3 year old occupied for multiple hours over multiple days.
Tonight we thanked God for āunicorns, dinosaurs and treasure huntsā
(we = Me, my wife and my toddler)
Tonight I was putting my toddler to bed and absolutely whacked my knee. My toddler asked me what was wrong and I said āDaddy hurt his knee!ā And she proceeded to tell me āBut I didnātā š¶
She did follow up kindly with āJust breatheā which was a nice cherry on top amongst the pain.
Present the problem you were trying to solve. Provide an overview of the constraints youāre working with. Present the design. Allow time for clarifying questions. And time box.
Iāve found the most productive design reviews are very narrow in scope too.
Always anchor your TVs and furniture to the wall.
Tried tackling this problem on a previous project. I think it was determined to be āimmaterialā so never really got anywhere. Tried my best.
Anyone think it insane they used to concrete hockey posts into the ground/ice?
So anyone have advice for getting your toddler to sleep past 5:15am š“
Weāve shifted bedtime earlier, shifted later, doesnāt seem to make a differenceā¦
Officially on the Yoto train.
Today my toddler invented āstable ice creamā. Yes, ice cream that doesnāt melt. š¦
I bought 3 things online last week from 3 different online stores. All of them ended up in the Shop app.
Only just realised that Shop is owned by Shopify š¤¦š»āāļø
I know Iām not allowed to have cold weather in Floridaā¦.but we hit 32°F (0°C) this morning. š„¶
The more Iām a Dad, the more I realise parenting is all about branding and marketing.
Itās not āLetās brush your hairā, itās āLetās play hair salon!ā
Itās not āTime to brush your teethā, itās āLetās play teeth salon!ā
Basically just add āsalonā on the end of it.
You could say that. (Although this whole no naps thing is a challenge. Weāve implemented mandatory rest time in room which is helping.)
We survived potty training, completely dropping naps and transitioning to toddler bedā¦all since Jan 1st š
