I think visitors might end up riding back and forth a few times waiting to arrive at that station...one important detail missing.

Finally ditching my old 1990 hockey cards. I just got $10 for this one. And my Gretzky and Lemieux are apparently absolutely perfect, if I submit them for grading they're over $100 each. Cool, better than I thought I would get.

That's something you don't see everyday it appears to be a group of Morris dancers walking through trout lake Park.

Anyone looking for a welding apprentice? One of our tenants just graduated and is looking for a gig.

I'm not sure which are the worse drivers, Uber or Evo. Both have perverse incentives to drive like maniacs.

Guilt and Co, one of the best live music venues in the city. I love this place.

Anyone ever felt like yelling at the tourists blocking the sidewalk, it's fake it hasn't run on steam in over 30 years? You all know what I'm talking about.

I don't know if I can do White Spot Monty burger, zoo sticks, and milkshake anymore. My tummy hurts.

I need to find some CV model that can detect squirrels, so I can automatically point a sprinkler at our strawberry patch when this little thief comes near.

Anyone know people hiring IT support/sysadmin right people? It sounds like a friend's company is going belly up.

We have a problem this year with a young squirrel poaching our strawberries. I caught it red-handed this morning.

I've been using AI too much over the last year, I must remember not to treat my juniors likey AI. youtube.com/shorts/YUYm9...

So Belgium is getting a 100% tariff tomorrow, right?

It appears to be flat season. Sigh.

I came back from getting coffee and entered my office to find this... 🤣 The fun of working in office again.

I'm just assuming the rest of the world are going to be Belgium fans tomorrow, right?

Almost 9 yr old child is singing along with Queen while I dinner prep, I'm raising them alright.

I need a better DAC for this Pi.

I don't think I've ever seen Costco this quiet before, and suddenly it's rapidly filling up. I wonder what happened.

Oh right... That's why Costco is so quiet. I meant to turn it on this morning and I forgot.

Automation complete! When Music Assistant starts playing to the main floor squeeze client it tells Home Assistant to power on the receiver in the mechanical room via an esphome powered ir blaster. And suddenly CBC Radio One starts playing in the kitchen

In honor of Mel Brooks 100th birthday this week the children and I just watched Men in Tights.

Ever since I started leading teams I've wanted to do a Bill Lumbergh halloween costume but never got around to it before we all went remote. Now that I'm back in the office I think my whole team is too young to even get the reference.

I keep feeling like it's Saturday.

FIFA viewing zone at Canada Place is really taking away from Canada Day. The usual kids zone just isn't there at all, the place is pretty dead. Children were disappointed. I'm betting all the food truck vendors will be disappointed too.

I have been saying this for over 20 years! There is a geopolitical side to the green transition, it will kneecap the power of some of the worst autocrats and human rights violators around the world, all the more reason to get off oil. A greener, more just world!

I feel like I'm racing to get a lot of useful stuff done with AI before the bubble pops and they can't continue offering tokens below cost. Then I'll have to go back to thinking for myself.

I assume there's a game on right now? I see my team huddled around a monitor in their office with the door closed. And I hear various cheering coming from other parts of the office.

Elder child said this morning she really likes Def Leopard - Pour Some Sugar On Me, I'm raising her alright.

Lovely way to wake up on a Sunday morning, a fraud alert email from your credit card company. And now the fun I'm updating all auto payments.

Ha-ha! Xiao smart ir mate works controlling the receiver. Squeeze client on Pi to Apple USB DAC, all running on DietPi and powered by a PoE splitter. Music Assistant streaming things. Living room/kitchen/patio ceiling speaker remote control achieved, finally. Great success!

Should the CIBC banking app be considered spyware? The latest version will not work at all if there's a DNS block of analytics.cibc.com. I can't think of any legitimate functional requirement for that domain when conducting online banking operations.

I blame Lorenzi.

Whoever had this phone number before that I received it for my work phone seems to have subscribed to some Translink alerts, I didn't know there was such a thing. I keep getting alerts about Skytrain issues, oddly feels like this is the right number for me.

We had to give in for the first time this summer, heat pump on.

I've won at this work thing, I have a private office, with my name on the door! 😂

Apparently I was around people too much this week, my throat is sore. Which one of you bastards got me sick.

So far I've won 3 different haircuts at the Sports Day raffle. 🤣

I notice it doesn't say the money is pledged to help *fight* climate change. With all his rockets and giant yachts, I think he's already pledged at least 10 billion towards climate change...

Thanks @stickers66.bsky.social @neil21.bsky.social @pjnewwest.bsky.social et al, that was good. I think that was the first time I've been out socializing like that since Jan or Feb, I needed that.

The 41 departing Joyce at 10 pm has a crush load? Maybe every half hour isn't good enough.

I went for a nice long ride on my day off today, I kept getting passed by old graying guys in their 60s plus, and I see the future I want. 😂

Things I just learned today about Mac OS, if you select all files in a folder and then click Get Info in the context menu thinking it will give you a summary of all the items, you are wrong. Hands up by anyone who had to force quit Finder to stop 1000 individual info windows from opening.

The heat has motivated me to finally switch from the Cisco Catalyst 2960 to SG500-28P, hopefully that'll mean a noticeably less amount of heat being dissipated in the middle of our house.

I just learned about the Baulmol Effect, this makes a lot of sense and needs more circulation to counter the tech bros deregulation and libertarian bullshit. Baumol effect - Wikipedia share.google/h88vek0X7Owf...

The biggest issue with this job change is I don't want to go to an office, I don't want to deal with the commute. I'm psychologically closer to retirement than an office 9-5 at this point.

Huh, so one of our tenants who just graduated BCIT engineering is starting at Kardium. It really is the new Jane/Cleo is sounds like.

Saturday night breadboarding, as one does.

Children... I just got a call from the school the younger claimed I didn't give her lunch. They put her on, I said I gave you a quesadilla I know I put it in there. " Oh I might have forgotten and ate it for recess." 🤦‍♂️

Hear ye, hear ye, the long siege is over. I shall finally venture across the border to the Royal Burgh of Newe Westminster for park drinks next Thursday the 18th. Bring your finest flagons of ale, your sturdiest steeds, and your merriest gossip to cometh and make merry.
