    Weekdays we allow screen time for about an hour after bath time. Only curated educational and play apps. Absolutely no video, browser, messaging or video chat (kids are both under 6).

    They get YouTube kids and Netflix kids enabled accounts on Friday and Saturday evening. Both only allow videos or creators we approve. Search is off.

    Everything shuts off at least an hour before bedtime. Any serious arguing or fighting is tech timeout for the whole day or more.

    It’s not perfect but it works for the time being. We use an app called Kidslox to manage their devices.

    All bets are off for sick days.

    Bluey, inspector gadget (my contribution), blaze and the monster machines, true and the rainbow kingdom, ada twist scientist.


  • I love spending time with my kids. Gonna get all the cuddles I can in before they grow out of that stage.

    My daughter says she wants to marry me. 🥰

    I told her it’s not possible and she was pretty sad, so I told her she needs to find someone who loves her and treasures her as much as dad does (a very tall order). If the person she likes doesn’t live up to those standards then they’re not the right person for her and move on.

    I did have to lay down the law pretty firmly to my no wife no kids coworkers who love to live at the office. Family always takes priority over work crap.












  • You don’t need to choose. It’s just a matter of the right tool for the job. I use a Mac for all of my work stuff because it’s so effortless and easy. I use a PC for gaming on and I use Linux for my servers.

    Doesn’t need to be one or the other, pick your job and pick the tool that lets you get the job done the most efficiently or easiest.
