It took me two years but I finally tracked down the first of the eight Disney Afternoon limited edition pins to complete the set!
They only sold 1500 of each of these and the first one was not easy to find!

I saw this picture of Walt Disney and immediately recognized that landscape.
I found out that he visited Vancouver and did a coastal cruise in July of 1966.
This looks a lot like Jericho beach, but the mountains don't quite line up. Does anyone know where this picture was taken?

On Remembrance Day I think of those who are sent to fight, and those who fought and died in hopes that we who follow them might not have to.
On this Remembrance Day I am once again saddened that the peace that was promised after the price that they paid seems to be falling apart.
Lest we forget.

Hey Canadians, they're requiring us to take better pictures when we enter the country and then using facial recognition tools as judge and jury with what seems to be little regard or understanding of the rate of false negative and false positive results of the technology.
No thank you.
No thank you.
New incredible detail here: ICE says a match in its facial recognition app Mobile Fortify is a "definitive" determination of a person's status, and that this overrides birth certificates. This is an app ICE is using in the field to scan people

Today I learned about the theory that all the matter in the universe is the result of imperfections in the very early big bang caused by quantum fluctuations.
No big deal. Thanks Jim Al-Khalili.

Look at this stuff. Isn't it neat? Wouldn't you think my collection's complete?
Ok, not complete but only room for two more without boxes.

We are saddened by the passing of Jim Lovell, commander of Apollo 13 and a four-time spaceflight veteran.
Lovell's life and work inspired millions. His courage under pressure helped forge our path to the Moon and beyond—a journey that continues today. https://go.nasa.gov/41tbrpq

I'm new to urban cycling and happy that TransLink has this practice rig at Lonsdale Quay. I was a little nervous that I would fumble putting my new bike on the bus bike rack. It's super easy!

I wonder if Paul Reiser will stick around for the screening of Aliens after his set at the Rio Theatre in Vancouver? It would be so cool to say I watched Aliens with Carter Burke.
