The sun was touching the top orange leaves of this tree, it was absolutely blazing against the grey wall, it stunned me. The photo definitely does not capture it...

A wide leafy tree close against a grey brick wall. The tops of some boughs are turning yellow and orange, and a spray of leaves at the top is bright yellow and red, moreso than the rest of the tree.

Is your goal reducing carbon emissions? Legalize apartments. Is your goal advancing social justice? Legalize apartments. Is your goal reducing segregation? Legalize apartments. Is your goal reducing housing costs? Legalize apartments.

Went to a VanPOP urbanism gathering tonight and met a bunch of very cool people doing very cool things, and I think there is a very serious risk of me starting to spend my free time making my city a better place! 🥹

#unicycle day 19. Today's goal started as trying idling but that's apparently still a ways out for me, so goal changed to sitting firm in the saddle and letting the cycle take my weight. Holy COW is my riding ever smoother. I can actually roll around corners too!

When I record in my dream journal, I title the entry by some key element of the dream that provides "access" to the rest of the dream against fading memory. Today's: "Bowling shoes in the bean cupboard."

Wow the new update to my Pixel contains some Harry Potter marketing bullshit. Putting aside all the HP "stuff", this is still terrible, I don't need my OS to become an advertisement.

Sitting by the pool, reading my book club book in a sunbeam while the kids swim... This may be the last one of the year, holding on to it while it lasts!

Photo of a long haired child in floral swimsuit, distorted underwater among rainbow colored ripples on the blue pool bottom. Feels a little abstract and etherial.

Have there been any overtly gay-lyriced top 40 hits? Was listening to some Ricky Martin on the weekend and pondering how the lyrics of his (a man) popular songs are about women (that I know of), and what the state of popular culture actually is.

Whenever I'm in a field looking at Space Stuff, just breathing and standing because, this moment is okay how it is... I like to think about the millions of other people on the planet, looking up at the same Stuff, and try to connect with them for a moment. It's a very happy-making exercise!

In a moment very uncharacteristic for Vancouver, the clouds broke and I actually got to see Space Stuff! In a moment very characteristic for me, I ran out to the hill with the wrong lens and 12% battery on my camera, so I got what I got.

Stargazing app: There's a lunar eclipse tonight at 21:17! Me: Fantastic, thank you for telling me! How's the visibility at 21:17? Stargazing app: Absolute shite!

A graph of sky visibility for the next 24h. A portion of the graph is labelled "lunar eclipse", and that section is full of solidbwhite squares indicating poor visibility.

#unicycle day 16: I put air in the tire and HOLY CRAP it's a totally different animal now. Its so responsive and easy to make corrections, but requires about 3x the tension in my body to react. Anyways: today's goal was a figure eight, and the tight turn at the end was a bonus!

the thing about indie games is that if someone designs one single game I love, I’ll get whatever they make for the rest of their lives and pretty much always have a good time. people are so attached to ip but imo you really gotta know the creators.

Anyone know what this weird thing is out by UBC? It looks like a bunch of fake beaches, extremely fascinating haha! #ubc #yvr #vancouver www.google.com/maps/@49.245...

A 3d maps image, aerial shot of a couple dozen huge rectangular ponds in 4 rows nestled among tall trees and farmland. Each pond gradiates from a thin beach at one end through murky green water at the other. There also appears to be a yard full of large basins or pots or something.

Do you just sit and think about that house on the cover of Starship Titanic? I do.

The cover of the video game Starship Titanic (written in beveled block text). A space ship with a shape like a submarine is shown in dramatic perspective on a dark green lightning filled sky, with a huge keel as tall as the ship is long that stretches down to farmland below. A seeming spotlight shines on the bottom tip of the keel, illuminating the farmland in the darkness. A tiny white house with a red roof sits next to the keel, throwing the whole thing into scale as an absolutely monstrous space ship.

Sharing tips for putting a tarp under your tent with my camping-noob friend

An ms-paint drawing of two tent shaped blobs sitting on a brown line representing the ground. The one on the left has a wide blue line under it, extending past the sides of the tent. A cyan line representing rain comes down from the top, slides along the side of the tent, hits the blue line, and goes under the tent. That tent is frowning. On the right, an identical tent, except the blue line under it folds under, and the cyan rain line rolls down the side and disperses into the ground. That tent is smiling.

This amazing cloud shadow. (Not so amazing that it's visible because of the smoke, but yeah.)

Listening to www.cbc.ca/player/play/... , they observe that the New Deal era wealth taxes weren't supposed to generate revenue, they were supposed to limit disparity. Somehow the convos I see about these taxes talk about how they "don't actually generate revenue" and it feels like subversion.

Reading Walkable City by Jeff Speck, he drops this statistic: "Almost 85% of the money expended on cars and gas leaves the local economy. " Its completely obvious in hindsight, but of course: oil dependence is wealth extraction.

My favourite part of VSCode switching to a weekly update cadence is how every update is almost exclusively about The Agents Tool, which as best I can tell, is a completely separate piece of software that shouldn't require me to update VSCode.
