iOS 26’s new changing photo lock screen is rather nice.

7-2 TWT, 9-2 Friday and Saturday. Always happy for an excuse to say hi!

… I feel tired and depressed pointing to the sign, because so many folks don’t (intentional or not) put cause and effect together.

To the staff and candidates in #yyccc who do… I can not express my appreciation enough.

The whole changeover with Freedom Mobile's internet offering from their resold Shaw service to whatever this is with Videotron has been a peach. Can not recommend avoiding like the plague more.

This front plate to go on a Brommie luggage block is going to be awfully useful. (Zip tie a basket? Bungie odd shaped item)

Found at Blue Lug in Tokyo, made by Nitto.

Heads up #yycbike - 12th ave cycle track completely closed between 4th and 5th Street without a detour or detour signage.

Not seen in the picture is that the sidewalk is completely closed once past the access driveway.

For any other #yyccoffee nerds - Monagram’s Quebraditas beans are amazing. The tasting notes of mango and passionfruit aren’t kidding around.

Gates are still closed but the glacier called June is gone!

South side bow river pathway is rideable.

… also that they have to go higher than the +15 to get over the CPR mainline. Solvable but a challenge. The 10th Ave station likely makes that even more of a challenge. (Eg. 25m up requires 400m to climb)

Rather glad you can turn off showing the contact photo circle beside emails in iOS 18.2. Especially when 99% of the email you get has an auto generated categorization photo.

It’s definitely #cybersummit24 - but this year we’re not sticking with only the hotel coffee.
