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

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. Iām pretty sure I went to the website for the UofT engineering department, where he worked (studied?) ā not exactly thrilling stuff. While memory should be treatedā¦

For Darren
(adapted from a short speech given in-person). The worlds of āVancouver Techā and āVancouver Progressivesā are pretty small. And the intersection in the Venn Diagram of them is even smaller. Iāve knownĀ ofĀ you, Darren for a long time ā we were both early bloggers and you have one the absolute great memorable names ā Darren Barefoot! so I knew of you, for much longer than Iāve known you.

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 itās been a minute. But after a 5-ish year hiatus, letās dive in again. 2022 seemed to be particularly good year for music. In no particular order, hereās the music released in 2022 that I really enjoyed: Alvvays ā 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, itā¦

Happy 20th birthday Tannock.net!
Happy 20th birthdayĀ 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 itās been migrated a bunch of times ā Greymatter, MovableType,ā¦

Post-Burnout, Self-Identity
Iām not sure if Iāve 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 ā maybe go to grad school, maybe this, maybe that ā I didnāt really know what would be next ā but I was 100% sure it would not be more of what I was doing. Iāve tried a variety of ways to write about this ā Iā¦

I'm Leaving Vancouver
Iām 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, Iāve held to that. And letās be clear ā I love Vancouver. Iāve had the great fortune to travel extensively, and have had several opportunities to choose to go somewhere else ā and I keep choosing here.
But thatās changedā¦

Peaceful Games in Turbulent Times
Peaceful Games in Turbulent Times: Some games I like to help calm me.
For much of my life, Iāve used video games as a sort of āsocial separation mental health strategyā ā 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 Iām not handling well. The general driver is anxietyand the need to keeps my hands busy but my mind calm. This isā¦

(Somewhat) derelict house. Itās 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, Iām happy this hasnāt 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
