Cyberpunk 2077 just arrived today, but I’m not playing it until Saturday evening. I’ve got lots to do between now and then, including writing content for the Auth0 blog, revising the Auth0 native mobile “quickstart” kits, teaching the final 12 hours of an online Python class for Computer Coach, and giving a remote presentation for mDevConf 2020, a mobile developer conference in La Paz, Bolivia.
Hey, Canadian cats: Are you looking for “the good stuff”? Recreational Narcatics, purveyors of the finest nepeta cataria, are selling their 100% organic catnip on Amazon.ca.
As they say on the human edition of their site (yup, there’s a feline edition too!)…
Recreational Narcatics doesn’t harvest its plants until they’re nice and mature because that’s when plants boast their highest levels of nepetalactone, as well as essential oils and blooms. Caturday night should be as interesting and mentally stimulating as possible.
Recreational Narcatics sells on Amazon.ca for CDN$11.49 for a 20g bag. Don’t you wish the human stuff came at that price?
Recreational Narcatics comes to you via my friend David Matte, whom I’ve known since the eighties. He knows his ’nip, and don’t just take my word for it — ask one of his satisfied customers:
What are you waiting for? Get your paws on Recreational Narcatics, available via Amazon.ca for CDN$11.49, today!

If only someone had warned us that treating Thanksgiving as a “business as usual” affair would have serious consequences!
Oh, wait…
Are the from the director’s cut?
Thanks to my coworker, Auth0’s David Moses, for the find!
Set up, our front porch is for Christmas, from a distant point of view.
Also set up it is, if closer you look, for Life Day!

Why are Florida’s numbers so bad compared to those of Taiwan, despite their having a similar population (and much greater density)? One of the big reasons is pictured below:
Some recent articles on the Governor’s deliberately ignorant response:
- The Independent: Florida governor suppressed Covid information before 2020 election to help Trump, report says. As former Republican operative and current member of the Lincoln Project Rick Wilson puts it, “Everything Trump touches dies.”
- CBS Miami: Sun Sentinel Investigation: Gov. Ron DeSantis ‘Ordered Public Health Officials Not To Discuss The COVID-19 Virus With The Public’
- Esquire: Ron DeSantis Is the Yammiest of the Vulgar Talking Yam’s Lackeys. “In perfect imitation of his idol in the White House, the Florida governor sidelined any real experts that he had on hand in Florida.”
- WTSP 10: Governor DeSantis does not respond to Florida mayors urging him to change COVID-19 approach
- The Palm Beach Post: Opinion: DeSantis must follow the data for an effective COVID-19 pandemic response in Florida
