While Facebook is still a spot where it’s easiest to share updates with family, when it comes to interests, hobbies and community, I think there’s more happening there. Here’s what I shared during the past week.

I created this silly meme thing back in 2015 and it still amuses me.

With all the talk about Twitter and social media going on, I felt really inspired to do a comic about RSS feeds. This is a really barebones guide but I hope it helps you stay updated with your favourite webcomics, artists and websites.

I hope you found this little guide helpful. I’m just a simple guy who’s passionate about RSS feeds, comics and staying updated using both. Go forth and make the feed of your dreams!

This year I had two physical calendars, an anomaly for me. Unless I receive another for Christmas or Nintendo gives away another freebie, I don’t think I’ll have one for 2023.

About 10 years ago my friend Matthew ran the Halifax Casual Gaming Federation at Robert Street Social Centre, and we played board games together with a bunch of rad folks. He put together a zine with writeups for all the games we played in 2012 and I contributed one for Carcassonne, which is still my favourite board game. Due to showing up so often, I ended up winning the federation championship.
