At the library randomly found ourselves in a Vancouver Cantonese Opera workshop. Great intro to the art form with some demonstration of makeup and techniques! Super lucky to be in this intimate setting with the performers. Thanks Burnaby Library!

Ran into friends, made new ones at the Surrey Founders meetup, got recognized by a pal I haven’t seen in person for 10 years! Talked with the only co-op, hung with language nerds (spoke some 日本語), and observed last year’s “responsible AI” messaging is now “sovereign AI” 😜 #WebSummitVancouver 🇨🇦

Good morning from #WebSummitVancouver
Made a little bento and had a picnic by Deer Lake in Burnaby. The flowers 🌺 were out. Even got to see a wedding proposal!

MODERATOR: Are there things the Empire has done well?
HASK: Disintegrations. And I like that they’re decisive. You look at that battle station, and you think, Wow, that’s decisive engineering. People make jokes about the cost of it, but I see efficiency. They should make two.

Fleetwood Flyer with a snow-capped Mt Baker in the distance. The next station down the hill will be called Bakerview, I think you can see why 🤩 (cf. micro.chadkohalyk.com/2026/04/0…) #SurreyBC
Today is an Uposatha Day, a day of Buddhist Observance. People often wear white tops and black bottoms. Today was also the day I took our bikes out of storage, washed them, replaced inner tubes, cleaned and oiled the drive trains… I was EXTRA mindful 🪷 and my shirt is still white! 💪
Free Palestine protest in downtown #SurreyBC. Maybe about 20 people? Lots of horns honking. Counter protest across the street: Israeli flag paired with Iranian Monarchist flag 🤔
Beautiful afternoon for the bazaar at Nikkei Center. We also checked out their exhibition on the history of the Powell Festival, which is in its 50th year this summer! 🎏🎐🎋

New Kit! Pebble Time 2 🪨⌚ arrived! I did not get on the first round of Pebble 10 years ago and always regretted it, so I backed it right away when it was first announced over a year ago as RePebble. Slowly increasing the number of eInk devices I have.
