I don’t know how Tansy did it, but over the holidays, she got some kind of tree sap-like gunk in her fur. I didn’t notice it until we got home, but boy did it look stuck. Even the thought of trying to brush it out gave me the shivers because of how sticky and tangly …

ArriveCANT
Because I’m an optimist for thinking I would need this sooner than later, and a weirdo for liking to plan ahead, I decided to set up my profile on ArriveCAN. I tried once, but it assumed I was traveling right then, and wanted me to start filling out a big ol’ form. But later, I …
I Have Been Boosted, Hopefully Not Busted
Not much to say except I got my COVID booster, so take that, piece of crap Omicron variant…and all the other variants too. I was lucky. I could walk to a pharmacy who was giving out boosters, so I got an appointment and zoinked one. I had to get Moderna, so now I’ve had two …

Nights In The Lab…
guh. It’s almost the end of my vacation, and I feel like I’ve been run over by a truck. Did I do anything super duper exciting? Nope. But I did have to go for a sleep study. I still feel like I’m recovering. “So what the heck is a sleep study?” I hear you ask. …
If You’re Waiting For Your Health Card or Driver’s License Renewal Notice In The Mail, Don’t
I saw this on the news on Thursday, but I’m not sure how widely the word is being spread. If your Ontario health card, regular driver’s license, or license plate sticker expires after March of 2022, you won’t get your renewal reminder in the mail. Instead, you have to sign up online to receive digital …
TWBlue TWBlew Up, But It’s Fixable
I’m not much for Twitter anymore, but I still keep a client on my phone and my desktop for the times I do feel like playing with it, in case someone talks to me there and to keep tabs on what a few people are up to. One of those clients is TWBlue, obviously. A …
So Now There’s An Enhanced Vaccine Certificate…
So we’ve reached the time where vaccine certificates with QR codes are a thing. I guess it doesn’t totally flip into gear until Friday, but the enhanced certificates are available. They will be available for anybody who wants theirs by Monday, but this weekend they’re rolling availability out slowly so they don’t have stampeding electronic …

All Of The Security, Less Of The Risk
Update: So much for that. iOS 15 has been out for a little while now, but I don’t have it on either of my devices. I almost never upgrade to the newest major releases right away. There are a couple of reasons for this. The main one is accessibility. There is inevitably something or other …
With This Vaccine Passport, Which Receipt Do I Goddamn Need?
So I am a confused human. Somebody straighten me out. As of Wednesday, we have a Vaccine Passport system in Ontario. I was under the impression that for the first month, we only had to show our vaccine receipt that we got from the clinic and our health card. But there’s a chance that that’s …

If iOS 14.6 Has Crushed Your Battery Life, Maybe This Will Help
A few weeks ago, the iPhone 8 that Rogers tried to rip me off on was in trouble. Straight out of the blue, it had no battery life at all. I could charge it, and a few hours later, no matter how much or how little I had used it, it would be totally dead. …
