Just found out about the passing of Kei Kamanishi, the last surviving member of the legendary Asahi baseball team made up of Japanese-Canadians disbanded during the WW2 internment. He was 102 years old. I never met him in person, just on a virtual call. 南無阿弥陀🙏📿
I can hear the fireworks 🎆 Happy Diwali everyone! 🪔

Gawd I really need to get out and do a photo walk soon… I really like our new neighbourhood, but I sure miss living in downtown Kyoto/Osaka
Setting the table for a special dinner tonight #IYKYK

Last night I started The Armageddon Protocol by @danmoren.com 📚
This is the final book of his Galactic Cold War series. Congrats to Dan who I have listened to for years on The Incomparable. 👏👏👏
Only a few more letters needed for the Internet Society’s campaign against Bill S-210 which jeopardizes user privacy and encryption. If you are in Canada it only takes a minute to add your voice:
Started The Message by Ta-Nehisi Coates. The first chapter is a breath-taking departure essay for the book on the purpose of writing — in one word: clarity. I can see how this projected started as his “On Writing” or “Why I Write”. 📚
Ghetts is a master craftsman. I have been listening to him non-stop for the last month. I remember him from back in the day, but only recently came back to his newer work which is amazingly intricate. Levels! Who else on the UK Drill scene has this level of wordplay that I should be checking out?
I did the thing! #cdnpoli #bcelxn
Woke up from a dream that I was still at the conference, meeting with all the people that I didn’t get a chance to talk to. 🥰
Look who’s back 🇨🇦
