10 days catching up with family & friends in the Okanagan. Luckily no fires! Weather was amazing! Saw a ton of people we haven’t seen since we left for Kyoto. But there are still more! We’ll be back soon. Just now got back to the coast, getting ready for school next week. Have a good weekend! 🥂
First day of the Armstrong Fair, the local annual carnival + agricultural sales event + cowboy cosplay convention
Enjoying some nice Okanagan wine wine 🥂 while watching the sunset over Okanagan Lake 🌅
Me tryna figure out how to type, mouse, and scroll on my friend’s Svalboard ergonomic keyboard. It is mind-blowing! 🤯 (I can’t even type my own damn name 😅 but it’s amazing how little movement you need to control this once you got used to it)

Doing a little holiday reading and writing here in the bright and dry Okanagan

Catching a water taxi over to Granville Island to meet a mate from the Osaka tech community visiting Vancouver! 🛥️
Sitting on the patio of a roastery called Kafka, looking over Rainbow Park with prominent indigenous flags, listening to an episode of Everyday Anarchism, next to a guy reading Marx in Spanish. #onbrand

Wearing my shark shirt to the Vancouver Aquarium today. During the show a diver swims with the black-tipped reef sharks 🦈
I have a /uses page. Thinking of adding a “will not use” page 🤔: a list of software/services (eg. Facebook, Twitter, Uber, Substack etc etc etc) that I avoid, maybe with an explanatory link or two. I think RSL has a list like this. What do you think? Too long? 😅
“[Users can] access a map showing the city’s 900-plus camera network, pick the nearest camera to them, pose for the image, and capture a memory. A little button on the app captures the snap for you, and you can keep it in your phone like a photo booth strip, or as a polaroid-style photo.”
My city of just a half-million people has a network of 596 cameras. 🤯 Next hackathon I am building this.
A bit early, but here is Sunset Beach looking into English bay, downtown Vancouver 🌅

My first Espresso Soda ☕️ 🥤
Different, but good! 😋

Nice icon set on We Distribute with icons for many platforms and fediverse apps.
I hope @buttondown and other services adopt these soon!
Gorgeous day but only 24°C so I had to get a warm drink. (🙇♂️ Sorry FamiChiki crew back in Japan 🥵)

When you get up in the middle of the night, never check your email. Why won’t I learn!? 🥱 🥱 🥱

Liquid Layers and TLDraw… what a demo! 🤩
After a couple months off, I am back to the First Law series with Last Argument of Kings by Joe Abercrombie. Exciting! 📚
Lovely day for a festival in #Vancouver
