Eating my way through Italy - reviews
I’ve spent the past 10 days in Italy with a somewhat picky 12yo. Despite this, we’ve eaten relatively well! As a way of remembering, and in case you’re looking for recommendations, here’s places we ate: Sestri Levante Il Bargonello Located at Via XXV Aprile, 143. We ate here our first night, and in some ways, it’s been downhill ever since. We sat on their patio on the street, I had an Aperol…

Let's do it again
quick thoughts on early generative AI excitement.
Thirty years ago, the Mosaic Browser was released. At the time, I was deep in the BBS- and gopher-land as a teenager. But it was absolutely love at first sight of the web. I think it was my now brother-in-law who first showed it to me. I’m pretty sure I went to the website for the UofT engineering department, where he worked (studied?) – not exactly thrilling stuff. While memory should be treated…

For Darren
(adapted from a short speech given in-person). The worlds of “Vancouver Tech” and “Vancouver Progressives” are pretty small. And the intersection in the Venn Diagram of them is even smaller. I’ve known of you, Darren for a long time – we were both early bloggers and you have one the absolute great memorable names – Darren Barefoot! so I knew of you, for much longer than I’ve known you. There’s…

Favourite Albums, 2022
After a 5-year hiatus, I offer up my favourite albums of the year again.
I used to do this every year, but it’s been a minute. But after a 5-ish year hiatus, let’s dive in again. 2022 seemed to be particularly good year for music. In no particular order, here’s the music released in 2022 that I really enjoyed: Alvvays – Blue Rev This one will probably show up on a bunch of lists this year. A more or less perfect indie-pop confection with not a single miss on it, it…

Happy 20th birthday Tannock.net!
Happy 20th birthday Tannock.net!
It was an inauspicious start, and definitely the last few years have been really, really inconsistent, but Tannock.net turns 20 years old today. The domain itself precedes the site, and indeed there was a previous, hand-rolled incarnation for a year or so. But this particular log goes continuously back. Over the past two decades it’s been migrated a bunch of times – Greymatter, MovableType,…

Post-Burnout, Self-Identity
I’m not sure if I’ve been particularly explicit, but around when we sold Pencilneck, I was really suffering from burnout. At the time, I fully intended to entirely abandon the tech industry – maybe go to grad school, maybe this, maybe that – I didn’t really know what would be next – but I was 100% sure it would not be more of what I was doing. I’ve tried a variety of ways to write about this – I…

I'm Leaving Vancouver
I’m Leaving Vancouver
I arrived in Vancouver in late summer of 1995, to come to university. I knew, almost the moment I got off the plane, that this would be home from now on. And until tomorrow, I’ve held to that. And let’s be clear – I love Vancouver. I’ve had the great fortune to travel extensively, and have had several opportunities to choose to go somewhere else – and I keep choosing here.
But that’s changed…

Peaceful Games in Turbulent Times
Peaceful Games in Turbulent Times: Some games I like to help calm me.
For much of my life, I’ve used video games as a sort of “social separation mental health strategy” – when the world gets to be too much, I play video games with an intense focus: to help calm and center my mind, to let my subconscious process, to give me a chance to process emotions I’m not handling well. The general driver is anxietyand the need to keeps my hands busy but my mind calm. This is…

My parents sent K my old hockey and baseball cards. He is so thrilled! He has been sorting and organizing them today. https://ift.tt/2xoNXH5
(Somewhat) derelict house. It’s looked an ever-increasing state of decay since I moved to this neighborhood about 8 years ago. But I think it is occupied. In a small way, I’m happy this hasn’t been torn down to build a super-fancy home in place like every other not-so-gracefully-aging house in the area. #inmyneighborhood https://ift.tt/2WLha9N
