Little dude just jumped up and hung out for a bit. Ideal hiking wildlife encounter, 10/10 no notes.

"Hey team, we had to eliminate the positions of every person on parental leave for the third year running. Real bummer, I know, BUT! We're now budgeting $3 million a year for Claude Code subscriptions. EVERYONE is SO HAPPY, RIGHT?!"

If you're able and inclined, this sounds like an especially great time to support Kyrylo Marsak's training fund: www.gofundme.com/f/support-fo...

One thing you will never think after reading a great book or listening to a great album or seeing a great piece of art is, “I’m really glad this person remained cautious while they were making this and guarded against being perceived as weird.”

Tourists visiting during Stampede: Where are we going for brunch? Calgarians, squinting at the sunrise & strapping on a glucose monitor: Get your boots, we're going to the Elbow Park Community Association for tiny sausages and orange juice. Quick, before the kids empty the fruit platters!

Do I miss living near Stampede and having people use the bushes in front of my apartment as a toilet? No. Do I miss 10 straight days of free pancake breakfasts and the chance to annoyingly correct people on 'Yahoo' vs 'Yeehaw'? Yes. Definitely. Absolutely.

It's raining, better stay in with tea and Sibelius: music.apple.com/ca/album/lem...

dreamcast forever 🌀

"At this juncture, you may have had your fill of major scales and wish to use some of your knowledge to create harmony."

And now I will start manifesting another Kasper Asgreen breakaway stage win.

Seeing all these notable figure skaters on the signed list is just so uplifting 🥹 I hope it makes a difference, or at least makes some waves about this horrible policy ⛸️

Plant lovers of the internet demand justice for that Japanese Maple!

Visiting the gardens in the last hour they’re open = good light and no competition for the photo spots.

Buying a VanDusen Garden membership was money well spent because whenever a delightful new plant is in bloom I can go over and enjoy it as many times as I like. Tonight: delphinium!

Ok so the Science World football is pretty fun:

Come for the excellent hardware review, stay for the salty prose correctly attributing Valve's pricing pain to "Sam Altman and his cadre of chicken-necked freak friends."

It’s all electricity, cables, and the coffee-powered hum of my squishy human brain over here.

Spotted on Cambie. I think someone paid for an extra indulgence on Canada’s behalf today:

Every bar on Granville right now:

5! 5 Canadian goals!!

4-0 Canada. Are we...are we a soccer country now?

when you’ve never won a game in the 96 year history of a tournament but now you’re crushing qatar (complimentary)

I swear I can hear the frenzied Team Canada cheering all the way from BC Place, despite being inside and 6km away.

Chill Sunday

“Scots discovering tailgating” could be a real Prometheus stealing fire moment

My policy when watching sports I don’t really follow is to cheer for the team with the most winsome nickname, so I guess I’m all in on Australia for the World Cup because you can’t beat “Socceroos”.

Socceroos!

Sketching time.

Sound on. Zone out. Music by the one and only @ellie.bsky.social. Art by moi. #gamedev #ambient

Met up with a dev friend tearing their hair out because everyone at their workplace is required to hit a $1,500/month minimum token spend. I pointed out that means the company could afford to pay everyone an extra $18k/year but chose not to and I think that realization broke their brain.

Hey, looks like we finally found the buyer of that annotated human waste database! www.404media.co/ai-poop-anal...

For once the concert ticket gods conspired in my favour!

A modern classic!

Jimmy Cliff's "Roots Woman" is a core memory now whether I like it or not thanks to hearing it nearly every day for *four years*.

Gotta admit after more than two years of being called a crank and a doomer for saying that businesses will flinch when they’re made to pay the real costs of AI it’s nice to see this in the newspaper

When the beats are fresh out the grease...

I have been trying to gel with TE gear for years, and I keep coming back to the EP-1320 two reasons: 1. Buttons and knobs are fun 2. The keys really do smell like chocolate, and I am a sucker for anything scratch n' sniff adjacent.

I flirt with madness yet again.

It's very early days on the Baltic Sea project, feel free to visit the mall while you wait for me to write the next game. ^_^ iskotaa.itch.io/crystal-mall...

Few things are more satisfying than learning your nemesis has suffered a great misfortune entirely of their own making.

Yes yes and more yes. Love Jean-Luc, love Marjorie, and as sad as I am their previous partnerships didn't continue, this pairing is very exciting.

Yes. Using a computer now feels like this at all times.

Research has commenced for the Baltic Sea Project:

Yes this account is *also* a cycling hype account and yes I *am* still verklempt about Sepp Kuss winning yesterday's stage. #GirodItalia

1. Wow 2. Yikes 3. RIP to the person who *didn't check the bike weight before the stage* #GirodItaliaWomen

It's Friday afternoon and you're not working anyway, so why not play the latest Y2K browser game sensation? iskotaa.itch.io/crystal-mall...

Fleurs de Villes is on at the VanDusen Gardens and flower people, this is a treat!
