Hi, I’m Jason! I live in Vancouver, Canada. I work on smart grids, electoral reform, and sustainable transport. I enjoy riding bicycles and trains, I watch a lot of films, and I’m trying to read books again. This is my 2025 #introduction toot.
The Stereolab show tonight was terrific! I actually enjoyed them more live than I did their studio recordings. They weren’t what I expected.

Enjoyed Bike the Night last night. Every year I resolve to rig up some ground effect lights for next year, then promptly forget about it.

🚨 Close vote alert 🚨

13 lanes of traffic outside the 2nd busiest transit exchange in the Lower Mainland? Or the deadliest intersection on Vancouver's main east-west "bike route"? Have your say while round 1 is still open!

Great Nine Inch Nails concert the other night!

I only took a couple of blurry photos, but I’m sure you can find video clips from all of my immediate neighbours. 😤 At least my partner had the wherewithal to ask the people in front of us to reduce their screen […]

Join us and our friends at Movement for a bus lane picnic/rally on Saturday August 23rd from 1-3pm at Gordon Park (6675 Commercial Dr, Vancouver)!

See their post for more info!
Imagine spending 307 years in traffic...but wait...you don't have to. That's simply the reality for Vancouver bus riders as we await bus lanes along 9 approved corridors. RSVP to our anniversary party to keep up the momentum and remind City Council of their promises!

I couldn't find the south end connections and had to navigate a pedestrian underpass to start the ride, but I'm sure I'll […]
