Notes

I really wish Apple Music gave some information as to why something is suddenly trending. It’s a 42-year-old album. Was it in the news? Etc?

twilighttheatre.ca/films/the-trag… We’re going to participate in the nation-wide celebration on August 22nd. This will also be an experiment for us in serving beer & wine at the theatre for the first time! If you’re on the Sunshine Coast, please come join us!

Ah, Europe where to get from one part of Slovenia to another, we took a shortcut through Italy.

There’s something DEEPLY satisfying about shipping a PR while on a train travelling 220km/hr in a tunnel through the alps. It tickles all sorts of nerd-dopamine centres for me.

YVR ✈️ FRA ✈️ BUD. Stoked to explore Budapest next few days

NRT ✈️ YVR. 8:23 in the air to get from Tokyo to Vancouver is WILD to me. Happy to be home again!

YVR ✈️ KIX ✈️ NRT! So excited for my first time in Japan!!

Look, it’s me! www.coastreporter.net/local-arts/its… REALLY excited for this to come to life tonight

A day where i am so relentlessly grumpy I’m basically a cartoon character with a storm cloud over me.

Is there a way to get from Union TTC station to the UP Express station that doesn’t require stairs? I’m assuming there’s an elevator, but is there an escalator path? The “straight” path takes me down stairs from the main hall in Union station.

YYZ ✈️ ORD ✈️ SLC.

Gibsons ⛴️ YVR ✈️ YYZ. See ya soon Toronto!

Crushed Canada lost. But this was excellent.

I need to figure out power management better. Or get a better battery pack? I attached my anker MagSafe charger when my phone was at 30%. Kept wandering and taking photos and doing normal things. Now I’m at 15%. The battery pack is at 25%. This doesn’t make sense.

YYZ ✈️ YUL ✈️ GRU ✈️ EZE. See ya soon Argentina!

Hullo again Toronto!! I’m excited to see how snowy you are. ❄️

I have a bone to pick with @nytimes.com about today’s spelling bee. This is 100% a word, in the dictionary: www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/m...

Thanks for the memories, Bobby. 💔

TIL that in Brazil instead of “encore” they chant “we’re not leaving!”, to the tune of Seven Nation Army. Which makes me think this is a fairly recent thing?

is @standard.site offline for everyone, or is it just me?

Uh, apologies for all the "New post: ... " spam here of late, I've been building myself a little markdown editor/site publishing app and have been (unsuccessfully) debugging auto-sharing to Bluesky the past few days. I think I've got it fixed now, so it should be less insistent!

YVR ✈️YYZ ✈️ GRU.

The stupidly crushing feeling of waking up to realize I forgot to play my word games yesterday, for no good reason at all, and now all my extremely long streaks are broken. 😭

I wish I could be as good my AI coding tools at under promising and over delivering 😂 Claude: this is extremely complex, and will take several hours. … 5 minutes later … Claude: all done! Want to test it now?

Whitecaps!!! ⚽️ holy shit what a win!

I’m not sure who I know who needs to know this, but Free Again’s next show is Toronto, on Friday. Here’s to hoping one of the last 3 shows is Vancouver. Or at least west coast?

I spent a week in London, near Victoria station. Small achievement: I managed to not once enter or exit at the same place. An equal mix of getting lost and intention. 🤓

I had Jays World Series tickets! Game 6, upper deck. Only to be blocked by @cloudflare.social 😭 I’m guessing because I am in the UK? But man. What an emotional rollercoaster I went on for 15 min there today.

⛴️ ->🚍 -> 🚇 -> ✈️ YVR -> EWR. See ya soonish New York.

Ok! Blue jays! 🚀

I made a thing! Ok, I *vibecoded* a thing, to learn things: swift didn’t exist last time I was involved in shipping an app 👴. Download it, play more Minigolf together, lemme know what doesn’t work!

I have some THOUGHTS about today’s @nytimes.com connections “green” connection. WTF!?!?!

If you’re a ball cap person, how do you store them? I’ve recently tipped over from “a couple of hats” to “the shelf is overflowing with caps and they keep tumbling down ”. They’re nearly all full-back/stretch-fit. I’d like organization suggestions, ideally not just stacked for findability.

Gonna watch Sneakers tonight. Probably my favourite Robert Redford film. Others are better! But this is the one I enjoy the most on repeat viewing.

After 719 games of wordle, the last 600-odd starting with the same word, finally it was the word so I got it one! Wordle 1,535 1/6* 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

The Orca may be BC’s best symbol, but the skate is still the @nhlcanucks.bsky.social best logo. But maybe we could get an Orca emoji added!? 🐳🐋

Hullo Toronto! I’m back for the week. Air seems much nicer than last time I was here!
