The more I read about the recent Ottawa-Ontario funding deal, the worse it gets, especially in comparison with what Chow was able to secure for Toronto.

New bike repair station on Carleton University campus, at athletics near Bronson. Hopefully they can keep it maintained.

#Canadian friends, #queer friends, #film friends – you have to go see "The Queen of My Dreams" while it's in theatres. Playing at the Bytowne in #Ottawa and bigger screens too, and elsewhere in Canada - I saw it Monday and it was absolutely glorious. A hilarious, touching, queer Canadian "Lady Bird," with a touch of time travel and lots of #Bollywood. I'm getting choked up writing this post, it was that moving. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt21876438/ and https://www.cbc.ca/radio/day6/the-queen-of-my-dreams-1.7152878 if you need some waypoints!

Today, I submitted my book 367 days after signing the contract. It has been an intense, exciting, boring, distressing, depressing, and uplifting process. A bit of everything over a year, but I'm so proud of myself for pushing through. The book will be out in 2025.

Now, to figure out what to do with my time and my hands...

This is amazing work. Who knows what other lost works might be rediscovered.

Broghies!

Are they good for you? No!
Are they bad for you? Not really!
Are they crunchy? Very!
Are they tasty? Approximately!

They're my favorite salty crunchy snack food replacement I've found so far.

Well, I just accidentally sent out a few thousand emails to users going back over a decade while performing a #Drupal migration.

How's your day going? 😩

With the Big Snow, remember to check your air intakes and exhausts if they're at ground level.

Friday: Eighty-four seconds of plank, followed by finally hitting the target of one hundred pushups (thanks again to @jordibruin's Push-Up Pal), followed by 12km of #running (-8°C w/ -15°C Windchill). Not too many other people out, it was a beautiful run.

Grid of four landscapes: 1) pre-sunrise Rideau River with the Minto bridges in the distance, and trees on the left. 2) Rideau River with trees on either short, right after sunrise. 3) Snowy recreational path through a young forest. 4) Canadian Geese on the Rideau River, forming up in a line, with buildings in the background.

Who's going to the VCF East Fall Swap Meet this Saturday? I'm thinking about setting up a table again but I'm so under-prepared this time!

It appears that SpaceX has taken down their statement that they plan to get Starlink fainter than visual magnitude 7. I think I found a copy of the original text here: https://spaceref.com/science-and-exploration/spacex-publishes-update-on-starlink-satellite-brightness-issue/

Is there any way that I can show that this text used to appear on an official SpaceX/Starlink page? Pretty sure it used to be in here somewhere: https://www.starlink.com/updates
