(Itโs July 31st!?)

This was a tough listen… Sometimes with @neverpo.st shows I’m tempted to skip an ep since it is not a topic I am particularly interested in, but when I do start listening they just draw me in. That team is really good at engaging audio storytelling
Day off today so I started reading the kind fantasy novel Bookshops & Bonedust by Travis Baldree ๐
Itโs about books! I love books! โค๏ธ
Thank you to all the community organizers who participated in #LOCALHOSTVan. ๐ฅณ We wrapped up with Van Hack Day where I saw some great demos. I am now at home about to fall on my face after 9 straight days of events… tomorrow is off. Later this week I will be doing follow up. Thanks again!
And with that, #IETF120 is over! So many new insights and friends. I have a lot to digest and follow up on. Tomorrow: OurNetworks.ca

What a day talking about interoperable instant messaging protocols, deep space networking, and a bunch of other amazing things! #IETF120 has been super stimulating. So many interesting people here. Looking forward to tomorrow morningโs Decentralization of the Internet Research Group (dinrg)
Good morning #IETF120! Today is the first day of the official meeting week. My first session is with GAIA, the Global Access to the Internet for All working group, chaired by Jane Coffin who I had the pleasure of meeting at the IGF last year.

Downtown Vancouver is hoppinโ! We got #IETF120 hackathon, the fireworks, and a Caps match at BC Place โฝ๏ธ
At the #IETF120 #hackathon

Utterly wipedโฆ Walked around the neighborhood to check the distances to the schools. Sat in the park for a bit. Coffee in a local cafe. I think after all the stress of the last two weeks, my body has finally released all that tension. We are here, it is over, we are settled. ๐ค
When I was just a wee lad of 12, my uncle took me here to White Rock to see the ocean for my very first time. ๐ It has been nearly 35 years and I have returned. Fish & chips ๐๐ got more expensive, but the sunsetโs still free ๐
[Me about to propose a new office/livingroom/dining room layout for the new condo]
๐โโ๏ธ: Dear Wife, come into my Mind Palace

๐โโ๏ธ: Where are you going!?
๐ธ๐ป: To the bathroomโฆ aka your Mind Palace ๐ฅ

Okay, so we were able to successfully sleep on beds last night, the first night in our new condo. I was totally wiped after dealing with hauling, installing, then returning a bum aircon. But got the new one in this morning so we wonโt die of heat as we continue unpacking. Next up: Office.
I have traded sunsets of buildings with sunsets of forests and mountains

Taking a short selfie break while hauling all our stuff over the second mountain pass of the day.

Executing a highly coordinated multi-city international move during a heat dome while heavily jet laggedโฆ do not recommend ๐ โโ๏ธ
Nothing says โBack in Canadaโ like a late night root beer and poutine
