Hi. I’m Tyler.

I’m a writer in Calgary. I like making mixtapes, watching baseball and playing old video games. I have three kids and one wife. I wrote a novel that eventually became a best seller. Pop Loser is the name I use for my blog, social accounts and other occasional projects. Learn more here.

I think I’ve found the fatal flaw in this plan.

📸 August snapshots.

(Or: What I did on my summer vacation).

On this 25-day trip I learned a lot of people don’t log out of their Netflix when leaving their AirBnb and I absolutely sullied the shit out of everyone’s algo.
Three weeks deep, one stop left. Back on the train, this time headed to Montreal. We are tired but this last leg is mostly just about eating food.
I’d like to thank Apple for saving us all from the terribly trying task of writing down a book title now and then.
Family Circus hitting real close to home today.
Arrived in Toronto after 4 days on the train. Everyone shouldn’t only do that once, it should be the default mode of travel across Canada.
We are taking a train most of the way across the country today (and tomorrow and the next day and most of the day after that). I’ve wanted to do this since a one-night trip from Moncton to Montreal 30 years ago. Unless, of course, all that fire stops us in, like, Winnipeg.
I finally did the Mac update and I see that after 25 years of the iTunes player being at the top, they have decided “Nah.” I’ve lost at least six minutes this week in .5 second increments moving my mouse in the wrong direction.
Having some perfectly normal conversations with mostly C-student robots.
