You ever look at a chart or stat or some online factoid and think: do they suck at presenting data, or am I dumber than I thought? [my experience just now reviewing a chart on exercise and VO2max by age]

It's cool that they do corruption openly online now. Given the millions that were just bet on a ceasefire, it looks like Trump will have to resign himself to slowing dimming American civilization, rather than nuking Persian civilization.

After 3 years of building, my app is finally live for paying customers (we did a 6-month free beta). You can see it at www.knowledgekeepr.ca Basically, if you need authoritative information about any First Nation in Canada, finances, bylaws, lands, contact info, governance info... that's us.

What a day to get an image like that.

That was a very cool final shot before going dark.

Loving this new eBike - perfect for these super long rides up into the mountains. Also - just look at that street sign font. Like an Arial Black or Helvetica Black, whatever it is... chef's kiss.

Tout le monde est critique.

Working on data merge for the app and I just thought you should know that there's a Chief Chief, Chief Indian, and Councillor Skywalker - among Canada's 4000 or so First Nations chiefs and councillors.

That gives me an idea: Cana-duh?! The party of common sense. Kantnada. The party of deontology. We Kant stand with notwithstanding. Can-nada. Politicians do nothing. At least we're up front about it.

I saw a story about this online, but can't believe it's still available for sale (and so easy to find). Alibaba is selling Shahed drones. www.alibaba.com/product-deta...

My favourite bit of Canadian space history is this picture from Mars. It got no attention at the time or since. But look closely…

In 2026, to call attacks on the Epstein class (aka Trump, Andrew, Clinton) antisemitic? Who is that convincing? Is it really out of bounds to say that Israel has a radicalization problem when mobs of armed settler terrorists have been running wild in the West Bank for the last few weeks?

NYTimes: Israel ordering towns to expel Shiites or be destroyed. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/01/w...

A funny translation fail. Le Roi « Peut »!

I love that Challenger Trauma is trending. We both are Gen Xers & felt it. We actually went to see a launch a couple years ago, and the video doesn't do it justice. It is inconceivably bright, and loud. Now that the explodey stuff is done, we can turn it over the Boomers to have Apollo 13 Trauma.

Seen on my way home today - the harbour packed end to end and beyond with - I presume - oil tankers.

Did you know?: grapefruits have a distinct front side and back side.

Went on a bike ride I haven’t done since I was 11. From my grandma’s old place along the dike through the terra nova lands to Steveston and Pajo’s. Also, spotted a C130.

I stand corrected…

Tried ‘Cream Pony’ - it has a seriously great Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich. That name though…

First baby goose sighting of 2026.

Every few blocks in Vancouver you turn around and see a postcard.

This picture from Haaretz...

Outside of Vancouver, does everyone else know what this is? We've got a half dozen of these in this neighbourhood. I don't know what happened - I moved away for 10 years and came back and, yeah...

My husband was on this flight this evening. His plane crashed. He’s ok. He helped others get off the plane. #AirCanada

A media criticism site using black hat tactics to go after critics of their reporting and commentary is that extra step beyond a cry for help. It's not media criticism anymore, it's a media troll. Rename it Carymaland and be done with it. Shame on any remaining subscribers.

At a ceremony on rez and ozempic has been here - food left in the buffet and everyone’s so much thinner I barely recognize them.

Ok, now I get why you all hate Wil Stancil.

I feel like maybe we should have made more of a big deal about Pakistan murdering 400 hospital patients in Afghanistan. That's Netanyahu-level stuff, and there isn't much in our press. There should be.

Ok, now that’s definitely the highest gas price I’ve ever seen.

Populating data for our app - which goes live next week (www.knowledgekeepr.ca). And saw this data for one First Nation. Very tight assets to liabilities ratio, low surplus, low own-source revenue... and then you look at council remuneration, and omg.

I was out testing the range of my new eBike and ended up at Iona Beach for the first time since I was a kid, and ran into this eagle. That jetty goes 4km into the sea - I get why my parents never let me go out there. Took over an hour, to the end and back.

I'm uploading JSON files to my app's 2.0 deployment (launching March 20th) and some very cool data is emerging from it - like the current financial state of Attawapiskat for instance... once the comparable are switched on, it'll say even more. We're at knowledgekeepr.ca if you're interested.

Gas prices were $1.809 here yesterday. Highest it’s been since the carbon tax. Just noting that so I can repost this in 2 weeks with a ‘lol - remember when we thought $1.80 was expensive?’

Not posted much lately - couple deaths in the family recently (you don’t need to do condolences). So spent a lot of time working and the rest at the seaside watching marine life.

The Seahawks are the masters of cultural *appreciation* instead of appropriation, parody, or stereotyping. Universally beloved in Indian country over this entire region.

This Skytrain station is under-appreciated

Snow drops are up all over the neighborhood here in Vancouver today.

PoliSci question: when you modify your uniforms to signal "we're the good guys / we're not the feds" - is that a good thing?

23% of Americans want their State to separate from the USA. Alberta is polling at 19% wanting to separate. It's less separatist than: Alaska, Hawaii, Washington Montana, Idaho, California, Nevada, Colorado, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas, Illinois, Louisiana, Arkansas, Indiana, New York.......

Whenever I see someone passionate for one NDP leadership candidate or another, it comes off like someone who’s really really into a competitor on ‘Slovakia’s Got Talent’.

I spent 2 days in Richmond this week, and was reminded how effective hunting bunnies (for pictures) is at helping me sort my thoughts.

Trump is 3 Prince Phillip’s in a trenchcoat.

Oh! We won 2nd prize — amazing.

The Prime Minister of Belgium speaks:

So what do you know? All those weird Canadian nationalist conspiracy theorists were right. If only Mel Hurtig were still here to see his fears proven right. #vindication

FoxNews has been slow to report on Greenland - and looking at the comments, you can see why. Lots of MAGA people saying ‘no’ to Trump: www.foxnews.com/politics/tru...

Anyone notice Trump’s homage to Richard III?

Loved the look of the fog coming in. It’s been siting on the water all day - you could hear the ships blowing their foghorns. And then after sunset as it got colder, the fog snuck up the hill.
