UPDATE #11 - 8am Jan 2, 2026. THANK-YOU, CALGARY! We stepped up to conserve water, and it made a real difference. We’re now back in the sustainable zone—but we’re not out of the woods yet. Please keep conserving as crews continue their work. Latest details are here: www.calgary.ca/emergencies/...

My 13y old has a business idea and we’re looking for investors: pre-boiled water that you then keep in ice cube trays, ready for immediate use. Not enough time to wait for water to boil? We have the solution!

Maybe @mcuban.bsky.social or @arlenedickinson.bsky.social want in on the ground floor.

Pro-tip: if you are going to try to trick people into your crappy company ghost writing a book, maybe first make sure the grammar is correct.

Calgary mayor Jeromy Farkas says planned New Year’s Eve celebrations are still going ahead tonight. He says they do want Calgarians to take voluntary measures to reduce indoor water use.

Since folks seem to like these travel photos, here’s another batch from a trip to Marrakech in 2015. Maybe even @davidhobby.bsky.social would like them. They’re all shot on a Fuji Xpro1 after all :)

Hard disagree on both. They're a Mexican version of a Fatoush.
Settle a debate for me. I maintain that Nachos are pasta. @ndgree.bsky.social thinks they’re pizza.

Kid #1 told me today that in the event of a zombie apocalypse, she would go into a Costco since there's essentially an unlimited supply of food & weaponry (show shovels, or maybe you could throw a BBQ at them), plus they can't get in without showing their Costco card. Hard to argue with that logic.
