Here’s a stream on Hecate island. I’m not sure if people have been here before. It’s remote, difficult to access, and very beautiful. We saw wolf tracks, grouse, very old and pristine bogs, and some of the gnarliest, toughest, wiry trees I’ve ever had to hike through 51.66409° N, 128.04106° W

Here’s the site of the weather station. It’s also the power station, set in an open bog system where there’s a lot of sun exposure on the solar panels. From here, the entire system is powered year-round.

Here’s a nice little spot in the watershed closest to our facility on Calvert Island. We have a stream-flow monitoring system right behind this frame, which is triggered by a weather station higher in the watershed.

Approaching our Ethel Island weather and radio station. This is the very south tip of the island. It’s currently surrounded by kelp, but a very steep drop off makes going ashore easier than it looks. Today we calibrated the rain gauge, fixed a camera, and added a voltage splitter

Steve Adams @steve-adams.me · 15/09/2026

Ever wondered how a rain gauge is calibrated? Here we’re draining a known volume of pure rain water through a gauge and recording the results of how the water passes through. The results can be used to make future rain measurements more accurate. We do it twice in a row, at least 10 minutes apart

A school of anchovies (I think), probably feeding near Hakai’s dock in Pruth Bay, Calvert Island. There were several schools, and one was visible shining and flashing under the pier from the dock to shore in a very wide shoal. You could see the water rippling and the fish shimmering

Not my best camera work. A humpback whale diving in Fitz Hugh Sound. We spotted 6 in total in around 4 hours.

Working on BASIC code from 11 years ago that runs on real mechanical equipment in a remote coastal watershed will make you realize LLMs are still pretty useless in many contexts, and programming/debugging are still alive and well outside of the beaten paths

Tangential: I just checked the map and wow, I had no idea how much of Denmark is agricultural land! Even the forests are heavily managed! Surprisingly few people actually work on farms though and the number of farms is rapidly decreasing (perhaps consolidation?): www.dst.dk/en/Statistik...

Beautiful colour and patterns. This one is from a blue dream lineage but something went askew. Lots of activity in the substrate, too

This is really nice to see. Especially in a role emphasizing leaning into agentic development practices.

Baby CPDs joining the family. This tank is a jungle of grasses and although it seems crowded and they can’t school, they breed better than any other setup I have. They love hunting in here

WHAT This looks awesome! >150km range means you could feasibly use this thing to rip around the south island on a weekend. Sounds so fun. Charging stops to eat and look at stuff, option to go semi off-road. I love it

Rivers, even when they're clean, can be brown/chalky/grey for all kinds of natural and okay reasons. Here in BC, it's often due to glacial silt and erosion during freshet.

Is it faster because it's lubricated with palm oil?

Steve Adams @steve-adams.me · 02/06/2026

On the other hand, I haven't hit a 5 hour limit like this in ages. I think I'd save it for planning and sitreps that need to be extremely thorough. In this case the alternative paths I blocked out early turned out to be non-viable or inferior like I'd assumed, so it was kind of wasteful

This is incredible. Tides are amazing. So much water, so much energy, moving this dock up and down every single day, moving immense amounts of water in and out of this bay. So cool to see it visualized like this

I like the spartan simplicity of your home page. Not many people can restrain themselves to a website that fits into roughly 200 pixels I loved your post as well. You remind me of what's special about curious and excited people working in computing. It's what keeps this space interesting

This is Ramen. He lived by my old place in Fernwood. Ramen was stupid but very cute and good at jumping. He'd come into my house uninvited all the time. Somehow this is my most recent picture of a cat, but it's from November 10 2016 at 6:00pm
