Scrolling on my phone and for some reason the algorithm suggested the exact same reel two times in a row. #Corgi

747 veers off the runway in Hong Kong, crashes into vehicle beside the runway, ends up in the sea, killing two people in the ground vehicle. www.flightradar24.com/blog/flight-...

The very thought of President CJ Cregg is amazing. #TheDiplomat

Today I learned about the theory that all the matter in the universe is the result of imperfections in the very early big bang caused by quantum fluctuations. No big deal. Thanks Jim Al-Khalili. youtu.be/VvGJ4kwLZGc?...

I would never have imagined this, but there's now a very non-zero chance that Discovery could be lost at sea in the near future. www.scientificamerican.com/article/movi...

I have no idea what kind of mahjong they were playing at the Hollywood Tower Hotel in 1939 but that's not a proper hand by my house rules. #Disney #TowerofTerror #WDW

I accidentally did an IMDB search instead of a LinkedIn search for a work person. Slightly different results.

The degree to which American media completely misunderstands or misrepresents Canada astounds me.

We had a small #CorgisofBC #Corgi meetup at Spanish Banks today. #YVRDogs

It's Hazel's 9th birthday! Any Iron Moss Ranch littermates on bsky also celebrating a birthday today?!?! #Corgi @say.hi.2.hazel www.instagram.com/reel/DPCdAWJ...

The only thing keeping me sane right now is the distraction of binging Taskmaster on YouTube. Laughter is much needed medicine. I'm mainlining it. Highly recommend. @taskmaster.tv

I just used up my last dashi from Tsukiji Market. I guess I have to go back to Tokyo now.

Look at this stuff. Isn't it neat? Wouldn't you think my collection's complete? Ok, not complete but only room for two more without boxes. #Toyota #FJCruiser #Diecast #Tomica #StanceHunters #BMCreations #JohnnyLightning #HotWheels #Matchbox #Majorette

I finally tried a Dubai Chocolate pastry and it really is quite good. This is a Dubai Chocolate mochi doughnut from Paris Baguette in Vancouver.

We are saddened by the passing of Jim Lovell, commander of Apollo 13 and a four-time spaceflight veteran. Lovell's life and work inspired millions. His courage under pressure helped forge our path to the Moon and beyond—a journey that continues today. https://go.nasa.gov/41tbrpq

I both do and don't want to try an airplane slide one day. #WestJet #YVR

I'm new to urban cycling and happy that TransLink has this practice rig at Lonsdale Quay. I was a little nervous that I would fumble putting my new bike on the bus bike rack. It's super easy!

I wonder if Paul Reiser will stick around for the screening of Aliens after his set at the Rio Theatre in Vancouver? It would be so cool to say I watched Aliens with Carter Burke.

Dear fellow Canadians: Please vote for competence tomorrow. Vote for people who tell you that the things that need fixing need to be fixed properly, with careful consideration, input from knowledgeable people, and understanding of second and third order impacts.

I don't think angry is the right word to describe how I feel. More like... Offended. Insulted. Disrespected. Unappreciated. Scapegoated. Threatened. I will save angry for if they dare make one uninvited step into our country. We grew up under hockey code and know when it's go time. #ElbowsUp

I'm trying to reduce growing food in plastic containers. I had a few old bamboo streamers that needed replacing, so I hacked them into a new bamboo planter to expand my victory herb garden. #ReduceReuseRecycle #VictoryGarden #ElbowsUp

It's going to be amazing when you-know-who tries to run for a third term and finds out that he's running against Obama.

Dangit. The guide on my TV spoilered the finalists of #AfterMidnightMania #AfterMidnight

Bravo to @flightradar24.com for the first April's Fools prank that I've enjoyed since a radio station convinced all of Vancouver that a Space Shuttle was going to land at #YVR back in the 90's. I think a radio in San Diego pulled that one off too.

I'm opening my garden early this year to increase my use of ultra local produce. #ElbowsUp Learning to grow tomatoes was my pandemic project, and now I'm going to try to learn greens. I'm open to any tips for Zone 8 at higher altitude please!

I risked arbitrary detention to get one final chance to see #AltonBrown on his #LastBite tour in Bellingham today. I leaned how to cook from my Mom and in my brief time as a short order cook in high school, but AB taught me how cooking actually works.

I was just a kid the last time I flew into Kai Tak. I remember looking into apartments and seeing people living their lives as we approached the airport, but since I was new to flying I couldn't appreciate how crazy that was. #Aviation #AVGeek

Happy Friday!

I'm finished sorting my nickels. Anything 1982 or older is worth 10¢. Any 2001 nickel that has no 'p' mint mark is worth 10¢. The year with the most potential value is 1996 and I didn't have a single one. People must have been hoarding those ones for a long time. #Coins #HomeTreasureHunt

Look through your Canadian 2006 pennies! If you have a magnetic one with no mint mark or a non-magnetic with a 'p' mark it could be worth 10's to 100's of $. I have neither. The left ones are non-magnetic but don't have a 'p'. The right ones are magnetic with mint marks including one with a 'p'.

Nothing older than the 60's for my dimes, quarters, and american quarters. A decent number of moon landing coins. The 1967 and 1968 dimes are 50% silver and worth a buck or two each! TREASURE!!!

I've finally gone through all my Canadian pennies and the oldest I've found are 1941, 1950, 1953, 1954, and 1959. I also found a 1939 American penny and I haven't even sorted through my giant bin of foreign coins yet!

Bravo to #YVR @yvrairport.bsky.social for having wifi at the off-site waiting area. I'd never noticed before, but that's a nice touch.

All the Canadian specialty quarters I found in my home treasure hunt today.

I'm finally cleaning out my coin drawer as part of spring cleaning and I'm sorting through a 22 year bucket of coins. This 1942 nickel is the oldest one I've found so far.

Everybody cringes when they watch a show or a movie about their area of expertise, but the first episode of Zero Day is hurting me. They couldn't hire a consultant who could even Google basic InfoSec/Cyber terms?!?!? If not for De Niro I'd be long gone. #Netflix #ZeroDay #InfoSec

Same story for Hung Gar Kung-fu, but I always assumed that the in-close elbow strikes we also trained would end up being more useful than the punches. In my hockey training; however, it's knees bent and elbows out always. #ElbowsUpCanada

My thoughts are with Brisbane and the Gold Coast and all of Australia right now. Be safe, my friends. Love from Canada. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

A friend included this anti-acknowledgement section on her PhD thesis. She also added the proposition: “Systematic bullying and undermining of girls and women in STEM starts early on and is the reason why they do not stay in science and related fields.” Absurd we still need to go through this 🧪👩‍🔬

I remember where I was when tanks rolled into Moscow in 1991. I think I will remember today the same way.

I heard Skype was shutting down. I got this a lifetime ago…at Radioshack.

My grandmother used to tell me stories about the old days, a time of peace when the Avatar kept balance between the Water Tribes, Earth Kingdom, Fire Nation, and Air Nomads. variety.com/2025/tv/news...

Oh crap, did the Americans get their way while I was in #Japan?!???! Why no Canada on the map?!?!? A few pics of the Kewpie Mayo snow slide and booth at the 2025 #Sapporo Snow Festival. #Travel #Hokkaido #AvTravJapan25

It's a cheap FB meme and a little dark, but it made me laugh. #Aviation
