West Broadway, Winnipeg. For bikes, transit, and livable urban planning. Wrangles data for a living. Wrangles my children when I’m not.
Thanks for a thought-provoking performance last night.

Two shows for A NUMBER today in Winnipeg, and closing PANDORA in Ontario. It’s been a big November. Lots of feels.

It’s time to rethink slip lanes

While slip lanes facilitate vehicle movement, they have a significant impact on the safety and comfort of pedestrians. Though the City of Toronto has been proactive in removing or modifying slip lanes, there is still much more work to do.

I think #Winnipeggers have had enough of the nonsense of vulnerable road users face every day because of how our streets are designed and a justice system that turns the eye at people behind the wheel. #Winnipeg www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

I find knots difficult.

It took me six months to reliably tie the belt on my martial arts gi.
My 6yo doing judo? Saw it once and can do it well already.
And his incredulity at my difficulty is SO FUNNY. He can’t imagine it being hard.

At least he doesn’t ask me for help with origami anymore.

`genzplyr` is an alternative syntax for `dplyr` that replaces boring old function names with GenZ slang. Your data wrangling is about to hit different.

You mean, like Canadians do?

It’s 20 degrees out. Could you set the oven to 350?

The surgeon who reconnected my collarbone said that there’d be an event at some point which would make me really certain that the healing is done.

Well, an épée (fencing sword) broke on me last night, exactly on my metal plate, and it was no big deal. Healed!

8yo: how does baseball work?
Me: starts explaining basic rules
Him: oh, just like soccer-baseball from gym class

I guess no DH in soccer-baseball…

Costume of the night goes to the kids in traditional Korean noble outfits.

All those Korean period costume dramas I watched on Netflix paid off.

This US government shutdown is delaying me getting my 12th birthday present.

(As to why my grandmother gave a 12-year-old a 30-year US savings bond…..no answer for that one. )

Putting two years of martial arts training to good work: tripping over a 7yo at soccer and instead of falling on him, I launch into a roll and do decent ukemi.

Honestly, this use case is far more likely than ever getting into a fight.
