We got her from the local shelter after a long 3-months journey being left alone. She got captured while being pregnant. According to the shelter, she's about 4 years old but that's all we know about her past life. It's clearly the most spicy cat I had, as we have to be careful when interacting with her.

I was using the OnePlus 5t as a daily driver and I was enjoying it quite much, but my mother had a Nexus 5x that stopped booting. I found the phone used on Facebook Marketplace for cheap, and I figured out it would be an excellent first smartphone for her. Problem is, I… ## [Microsoft Zune 80GB/120GB](https://kaze.bigcats.cc/collections/audio/microsoft-zune/) _2026-06-25 · Unknown · Kaze_ Ahhh the mighty Microsoft Zune! While the Zune 30gb and the Zune HD was never sold in Canada, both the Zune 4gb/8gb/16gb and the Zune 80gb/120gb were! I recall being at the high school at the time, looking the "Future Shop" website (anyone remember Future Shop?) to verify the Zune stocks at my nearby store.

I ordered it through OnePlus's website and the process went smoothly. The delivery was very quick too! The device feels very sturdy in hand, with it's metal back. It really has that premium HTC feeling. The fingerprint sensor is located in the front of the device, at… ## [Google Pixel 10a](https://kaze.bigcats.cc/collections/phones/google-pixel-10a/) _2026-05-25 · Unknown · Kaze_ Status: Daily Driver I purchased the Google Pixel 10a to replace my Asus Zenfone 10 . I ended up having a few issues with it, namely the battery started to be unable to do a full day charge, but also connectivity through the mobile network had serious issues. More than often, it would not be able to load a single page, no matter the signal strength. After months of growing frustrations, my partner… ## [Google Nexus Five](https://kaze.bigcats.cc/collections/phones/nexus-five/) _2026-05-23 · Unknown · Kaze_ Status: Broken and disposed of Specs CPU: Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 (4 cores @ 2.3Ghz) RAM: 2GB Storage: Initial Android version: 4.4 Latest Android version: 6.0 Headphone jack ## [Browse ThreatCrush Modules (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/38EWcLoBmeye) _2026-05-22 · **Sponsored**_ Install community-built security modules to extend real-time threat intelligence and monitoring ## [Are You a Good Girl?

The snow is no longer this clean and pure canvas, as it slowly melt and turn grey. It's no longer fluffly, but turns to crunchy mix of snow and ice where snowshoeing is no longer this peaceful activity that I like so much. This… ## [Cosmo 🌌](https://kaze.bigcats.cc/cats/cosmo/) _2026-04-29 · Unknown · Kaze_ Cosmo is our new cat, born in late 2025. We got him from a reputable Maine Coon breeder outside of the Montreal area at roughly the age of 5 months. A 'small' kitten full of curiosity and energy, wandering at utlra high-speed in every corners of the house. I say "small", because he's only 5 months old and is already the same size as our senior cat Toupie. Speaking of Toupie, Cosmo… ## [Toupie 😾](https://kaze.bigcats.cc/cats/toupie/) _2026-04-28 · Unknown · Kaze_ Toupie is a 18 (almost 19!) year old long-hair blue cat. This cat always sports its grumpy face despite being (I presume) pretty happy. That's even the first thing my father said when he saw the cat for the first time. I got Toupie from a local refuge, during the crazy day of the 1st of July (if you live in Québec, you know why!), at the age of 8. The first weeks were a disaster! Toupie was… ## [A new Gemini Adventure](https://kaze.bigcats.cc/blog/a-new-gemini-adventure/) _2026-02-19 · Kaze · Kaze_ Related to one of my recent entries, I have just found what was missing to restart my Gemini journey. I found an inspiring community! I have started journaling on an instance called The Orbital Outpost (gemini://orbitaloutpost.club). This Gemini capsule, little space on that vast web, will be different than this blog. I won't talk about philosophy, or old computers. Okay maybe I… ## [To Gemini or not to Gemini?](https://kaze.bigcats.cc/blog/to-gemini-or-not/) _2026-02-13 · Kaze · Kaze_ I've been going back to Gemini lately, simply browsing on other's capsules. Every time I do so, I am shocked by it. Everything is so snappy, pages are loading instantly, and they all focus on their content. No need to worry about trackers too, as the protocol does not support running code on browsers. If you don't know gemini, let me set the table... The ever-growing web Have you… ## [Wonders of Winter ❄️](https://kaze.bigcats.cc/music/seasons/winter/) _2026-02-01 · Unknown · Kaze_ Winter In order to understand this one, you'll have to close your eyes and come on a journey with me. That is, unless you already lived a Canadian winter! Now close your eyes. Hear the wind (kaze 😋) blowing. Its breath is coming from far away, unobstructed by the usual leafs covering the trees. It knocks at your doors and windows. You don't need to feel it, just by the higher pitch, you… ## [The Veldt](https://kaze.bigcats.cc/blog/the-veldt/) _2025-12-22 · Kaze · Kaze_ What started for me as a catchy song by deadmau5, quickly turned into something else. At first the song had a certain beat that, while not being really special had parts of it that stick in the head. Second, well it talks a bit about lions, that's a little something that always work for me (can't figure out why 😅). Then I started to really focus on the lyrics. I was trying to find the… ## [MacOS vs Kaze](https://kaze.bigcats.cc/blog/macos-vs-kaze/) _2025-11-27 · Kaze · Kaze_ You might need a little bit of context on this one. I am a Linux user. I've been one since I left college back in 2013. I use Linux on my personal computers, I used Linux as my operating system at work too. And I'm not talking about using it as a server OS (I do that too), but as a developer workstation. One thing that never changed, is the desktop environment I'm using. On Linux,… ## [Am I broken?](https://kaze.bigcats.cc/blog/am-i-broken/) _2025-11-20 · Kaze · Kaze_ That's a question I have been asking myself a lot lately. Around the month of April 2025, I decided to take a leap of faith, and leave my comfortable career as tech lead to go to a smaller company. When doing the interviews, the engineers mentioned working with a monolithic piece of software, but directors and VPs denied having such thing in the code. That was intriguing to me, but I believed… ## [Holiday music🎄](https://kaze.bigcats.cc/music/seasons/christmas/) _2025-10-19 · Unknown · Kaze_ Christmas is approaching fast, in fact in only 2-3 days, and I'm still here writing my christmas songs. Truth be told, I haven't felt that "Christmas magic" for a long time now sadly, and I'm not saying that these songs will help you achieve it either. Or maybe it will help, so let's get singing! In this list, you'll find both English and French songs, because most of my… ## [Creative Zen V 1GB](https://kaze.bigcats.cc/collections/audio/creative-zen/) _2025-10-12 · Unknown · Kaze_ The honeymoon The Creative Zen V was my first Portable Media Player. I received the white and orange Zen V as a christmas present. Ahh the memories! I had a good 30+ minute commute in the school bus so this would become really handy! The Zen V lineup was composed of two variants, the V and the V+. The V+ had black shell, while the V had the white one. It was not the only difference of course, the… ## [Apple iPod Classic 120GB](https://kaze.bigcats.cc/collections/audio/apple-ipod-classic/) _2025-10-11 · Unknown · Kaze_ Shocking statement ahead: I own an iPod Classic. I know, I know, what a shame. I'm not too proud of it, but I swear, I had a good reason! Why I got an iPod!? Jokes aside, people who know me knows how much I dislike Apple products. Anyway, I had to acquire a portable media player in a rush after my Microsoft Zune died one week before leaving my comfortable home to go live an incredible… ## [Asus Zenfone 10](https://kaze.bigcats.cc/collections/phones/asus-zenfone-ten/) _2025-10-11 · Unknown · Kaze_ Status: Cleaned up - Waiting for a purpose One of the last small smartphones, the Asus Zenfone 10 is a 5.9 inch Android phone featuring two SIM slot, an headphone jack and a finger print sensor. A really surprising mix in a small package! Acquiring such a phone in Canada That was way easier said than done. The Zenfone 10 was never sold in Canada. I had to create a PO box in the US and wait for the… ## [Music of the fallen leaves](https://kaze.bigcats.cc/music/seasons/fall/) _2025-10-11 · Unknown · Kaze_ No no, don't start "Fallen leaves" from Billy Talent, it's not part of this playlist! Autumn Canada is beautiful during autumn, with the falling leaves, the predominant orangy-yellow colors and the colder weather. Warm days are slowly going away, leaving place to colder winds. It's the season of shorter days, when everything just slow down, trying to follow Nature's pace,… ## [Apple PowerMac G5](https://kaze.bigcats.cc/collections/computers/apple-powermac-g5/) _2025-09-28 · Unknown · Kaze_ All I can say now, is that this machine is really frustrating to work with... when it is now an Apple Operating System running on it. My plans for it is to create the ultimate Unix workstation, powered by a BSD of some sort but everything gets in the way. Stay tuned! The 2026 update I recently turned on the computer after a long time being tossed aside. It currently runs on Mac OS 10.5.9 Leopard.… ## [On scalable, irreversible impact](https://asadrahman.io/2025/09/03/on-scalable-irreversible-impact/) _2025-09-03 · asadqct · asadrahman.io_ TL; DR - Aid funding is diminishing. I see a new playbook emerging for scaling social justice: build products people love, grow incomes, master the institutional inflection point, transfer stewardship, shift culture. That’s how impact scales and sticks.

In fact, I was more looking for a PS5, but my partner insisted that an Xbox would been a better choice, since I have a collection of Xbox One games that could work with. So one day, I stumbled across a broken Xbox Series X for 170 Canadian… ## [Google Nexus Four](https://kaze.bigcats.cc/collections/phones/nexus-four/) _2025-07-22 · Unknown · Kaze_ Status: Sold (Winter 2013) I ordered the Nexus Four to replace my Google Nexus One. The main motivation behind that was to be able to program on Android 4, since it was a major update from Android 2 (Android 3 was a tablet-only release, bringing a lot of innovation). The phone had a pleasing build quality, with a back glass and plastic rails. The CPU and RAM was a big upgrade, going from a… ## [Google Nexus One](https://kaze.bigcats.cc/collections/phones/nexus-one/) _2025-07-19 · Unknown · Kaze_ Status: Dormant in a drawer Ahh the Google Nexus One! My absolute first Android Phone! I remember ordering it through the Google Store. That device was so charming with its super small size, and the tiny trackball doing double-duty as the notification led. The trackball was even RGB! It was the phone I used during college, while learning programming. And yes, I even used it for Android…
