Coast Contra is back at The Table!! (ﾉ＾◡＾)ﾉ︵ ┻━┻
So many online meetings today, back-to-back, that by the end I was losing my voice 🗣️
But lots of exciting progress for the next protocolsforpublishers.com 🇪🇺✨
Doing some Xmas shopping for my kids 🎁
Went to the neighborhood Holiday Party and met some more of my neighbours. Then we finished decorating the tree. 🎄
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. 🙃
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. 📚
Neverpo.st interviewed Drew Lyton about building his own “cloud” server in his living room and thinking… 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 📚
Nearing the end of the whole cycle!! 🙀 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 🌞
My not-so-spicy 🌶️ #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
Fran Sans — a typeface inspired by San Francisco light rail displays — is gorgeous and this excellent article really shows you how deep a typography designer will go 👏👏👏

‘Tis the season 🔔🎁
Going with the family to the annual Vancouver Eastside Culture Crawl this afternoon. Kids are excited to see all the different kinds of artwork. I am inspired by admiring the level of craft and dedication.

“I put money down on all of us On my people now, on what I love”
I have watched this video I don’t know how many times ✊
#rap #music
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. Can’t 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
Enjoyed this interview of @jmcelroy.bsky.social by @arshy.bsky.social
Some key bits in here for understanding Vancouver (and BC!) politics
