( This Week in Data is a series of blog posts that the Data Team at Mozilla is using to communicate about our work.

I m a few days late publishing this, but this October marks the tenth anniversary of my first day working at Mozilla. I m on my third hardware refresh (a Dell XPS which I can t recommend), still just my third CEO, and now 68 reorgs in. For something as momentous as breaking into two-digit territory, there s not [ ]
My Papa, my mother s father, C. J. Mortimer died in Saint John, New Brunswick in 2020. Flying through the Toronto and Montreal airports in September to his funeral was one of the surreal experiences of my life, with misting tunnels of aerosolized alcohol to kill any microbe on your skin, hair, clothes, and luggage; airport [ ]

On this day (or near it) in 2015, I joined the Mozilla project by starting work as a full-time employee of Mozilla Corporation.

It was a visually-stunning but stiltingly-animated JRPG romp with a more adult tone but childish treatment of themes and characters that ultimately satisfied mostly on the back of its real-time action battle system. Spoilers follow. This is my Active [ ]
I recently completed the story of Persona 5 (not the Royal re-release), getting a little over half the achievements. It s not my first experience with a JRPG with Lifestyle Simulator elements (I did play Fire Emblem: Three Houses (no So I ve Finished article for that one, sorry)), but it s only my second. I found it [ ]
Last year I finished a playthrough of the story and some of the side content of Kena: Bridge of Spirits, a 3D action-adventure game.
