The Japanese Canadian Legacies Society launched a new website with educational resources for K-12 teachers. It has lesson plans, exercises, and tons of images to help students learn about the internment of 22,000 Japanese-Canadians from 1942 to 1947.
Happy to be alive β¦ and to know all of you wonderful, inspiring people!
(Also, Iβm pretty sure all the sedatives from yesterday have worn off π)
Today been a busy. Launched Protocols for Publishers β¨ London early in the morning, then took a taxi to get surgery. Now just woke up. Feeling groggy with a pool of blood on my pillow. Answered a few messages, mostly inbox is full of reservation notifications for the event. Lovely! Back to sleep π΄
Just finished The Trouble With Peace and couldnβt help myself and immediately picked up The Wisdom of Crowds by Joe Abercrombie π
Of the Top 20 Apps of 2025 on the Canadian iOS App Store there are only 4 I use, and all of them begrudgingly. I am like the Scrooge of popular technology, arenβt I? (Considering I still use an iPhone, I suppose not.)
Coast Contra is back at The Table!! (οΎοΌΎβ‘οΌΎ)οΎοΈ΅ β»ββ»
So many online meetings today, back-to-back, that by the end I was losing my voice π£οΈ

Doing some Xmas shopping for my kids π
Went to the neighborhood Holiday Party and met some more of my neighbours. Then we finished decorating the tree. π
Today is an uposatha day so maintaining my fast while all these cookies are being handed out did not make me a particularly holly jolly elf. π
This month has been⦠well, not easy.
But today I have had some time to relax. So I am sitting in my reading chair catching up on @mekongreview.com which always delivers on cool insights and new books to add to the pile. π
Neverpo.st interviewed Drew Lyton about building his own “cloud” server in his living room and thinkingβ¦ there must be a better way. At DWebYVR we have a saying: “self-hosting is selfish.”. By the end Drew argues “the future is community-hosted”: we need a public-service cloud, a people-owned cloud.
Set up my profile and starred a bunch of sessions for #AAS2026 @asianstudies.org
Looking forward to meeting some Asia scholars that I have interacted with online but never met in person, and also many other scholars whose books I have on my shelf.
Been having strange dreams all week⦠but lying in a dark trench, cold and wet, delivering an extremely thorough explanation of all the various features of a luxury hand-stitched leather shoulder bag to Alan Rickman probably takes the cake.
Started reading: The Trouble with Peace by Joe Abercrombie π
Nearing the end of the whole cycle!! π Such a great series.
It’s a bit early in the day, but went ahead and posted my summary of the month of November: includes a lotta meetups, my new project launched, dealing with a lotta stress, and getting out in the sun π
My not-so-spicy πΆοΈ #UX take: in reverse chron feeds, relative dates should go back no further than “the day before yesterday” before just switching to proper calendar dates.
This week has been a dark one, so with the sun out this morning I took to the wet trails. Despite the seemingly endless cloudy days, the moss still thrives. It is good to remember this. Here’s to a weekend of ease to you all #photography #mosstodon #lichensubscribe

A short excerpt from The Shape of Practice that I immediately thought applied to marriage. The wedding ring is the same symbol.
Wow! This photo came up in my iOS memories. Canβt believe this was already 5 years ago! I can still feel the mist of the breaking waves and the latent power of the Pillar of Heaven in my bones
