Went to the Vancouver Art Gallery yesterday. This giant wall mural by Lauren Brevner & James Harry was amazing to see in person.
Just ordered some live spot prawns for pick up next weekend from Skipper Otto.
Sign up for this season’s Community Supported Fishery membership ends May 31st.
A few pictures from today’s install of @rachaelashe’s “Patterns of Influence” show. Opens this Thursday at the Craft Council gallery on Granville Island.
I’m slowly adding some of my long time startup templates and resources to @VentureScoutsCA.
I just added this budget scenario template I use to help founders model expenses. Good to get comfortable with numbers!
Peace Public License, a new #EthicalSource license designed to be “a copy-farleft cooperative non-violent public license which was more publically available and which was more openly and actively maintained”.
I toured @stevekrueger’s new #EcomSquare coworking space yesterday at 1758 W 8th.
Very excited to see the space become a community hub for founders & funders in the DTC ecommerce space.
Rhubarb syrup. Chop rhubarb, cover in sugar, let sit for several days. Strain to get syrup, cook down rhubarb with water to get more liquid out.
IT’S ESPRESSO TONIC SEASON AT @timbertrain!!!!!
Made with Caliber Espresso and @FeverTreeMixers tonic. Plus a little bit of ice in a to go cup, perfect for drinking in the sun in the park.
We went for a walk in Burnaby’s Central Park.
You can take a car share & drop it right at the border, or get off at a nearby Skytrain station.
Nice to be in the big trees & lots of green.
I am very excited that my local coffee shop @timbertrain Depot is going to experiment with espresso tonics NEXT WEEK!!!
This is a [truly amazing post by @moxie and the Signal messenger team](https://signal.org/blog/cellebrite-vulnerabilities/).
Even if you don’t understand all the technical ins and outs, you will appreciate the writing & tone. We need more non-profits at web scale like this.

A blossom filled evening walk. Blossom lined streets, a glorious giant pink blossom tree, and what I think are crab apple blossoms.
Alright, who is running the espresso tonic tracker in #Vancouver?
I guess it’s tepache season again
Easter on Bowen, continuing to help my parents move and settle in.
Forest walk with first bright pink salmon berry blossoms, mossy trees, and the reflective water at the bridge by the Meadow.
I know, I know it’s the middle of the night.
But I had a ton of fun making a shopping list with @TiddlyWiki.
Thinking about migrating @ATBRecipes into this.
Thanks to marxsal for creating Tiddly Groceries!
I gave a talk back in Oct 2019 about #opensource licensing evolution.
A good time to reflect about what you want from your software and your licenses.
I have a Ghost Pro-powered links / newsletter / subscription thing now. I wrote a first post, and it has a couple of interesting links. Never mind about the monkey.
Yesterday was spent on the North Shore. @rachaelashe has work in the art for kids show at Seymour Gallery in Deep Cove.
Then walked the Spirit Trail along the waterfront east to Cap Mall. A bit of sun sparkle & the view over to downtown Vancouver & port.
It’s a rainy cold day, but the cherry blossoms are coming out.
Spent a couple of hours this morning inside, taking a course from Eikcam Ceramics. I made a bento box and side dishes.
A walk to Prototype Coffee. They sell colourful potions & waffles, plus have a mirrored moss portal at their entrance.
North: up Howe Sound towards Squamish
South: Passage Island, out of Howe Sound, across Burrard Inlet, UBC in the distance
West: Bowen Island, Snug Cove and Deep Bay, a short 20 minute ferry ride.
Very interested in @resonatecoop’s work around Verifiable Credentials.
VCs are a DID linked “proof”, and they have a demo including a Discourse plugin to grant access to a private group. Image from technical overview flyer.
Detail of @timbertrain Depot hand made coffe cups, and crocuses blooming in the park. Sunshine time ☀️
