I've chatted with Peter a few times and he always impresses me with his willingness and energy to teach and answer any questions I have about housing, urbanism, transportation, etc or anything really.

I can imagine him creating some really great change on Vancouver city council
I've spent years fighting for homes and a more affordable, equitable Vancouver.

Now I want to take that fight to City Hall as your councillor. Go to www.PeterForCouncil.ca and join OneCity so you can support Peter For Council and help me get on the ballot!

Vancouver golf club next?

haha jk, unless?

seems to me that the lougheed area isn't actually all that nice to live/walk in with so many major roads going through it. Selfishly (in burquitlam), some more ammenities northeast of lougheed could help turn the 2 neighbourhoods into a really cool area
A golf course next to the Fraser River in northeast Metro Vancouver will be transformed into a public park with sport and playing fields.

It is part of the City of Maple Ridge's strategy to build a new major aquatic & community centre. #vanpoli #vanre

Are there any online developer/entrepreneur/freelance communities you are apart of that you love?

And do they want another member?

I built a lamp

Sapelle wood. Built a template out of 1/4" ply and then used a router trim bit to get the curved arm. Bought the lampshade at value village for $5. Blew my breaker because I was silly then learned some more and did a much better job of wiring up the socket.

If prioritized homes for people like we prioritize homes for cars we would be much further along in dealing with this housing crisis.

I've just finished my plywood shelves and now I'm diving deep into all the other things I could make and materials I could use.

What if I used danish cord? or rattan? What if I made custom wooden lamps? I should add magnets to my work.

Wish me luck

Just finished Tiny Experiments by @neuranne.bsky.social and loved it! I've struggled with the expectation (societal? me? parental?) that I should be excellent at one thing or that I should focus on my career, especially post university. But there are there are so many things in life to try.

I had so much fun building bastila.app and I love the brand that @spencermarsh.bsky.social came up with.

It turned out to be a really useful tool at my job but with the rise of so many AI code quality and code helper tools I think the approach I had would have been left in the dust

I finished my shelving unit! All designed and built by me.

3/4" laminated plywood for most of it. 1/2" baltic birch for the sliding doors and drawer fronts.

Used a plunge router for the first time today. Would not recommend using it on a table that has wheels but otherwise it went well
