I didn't get into Anne Frank house when I was in Amsterdam a few weeks ago because it was booked solid, but Otto's quote from 1970 is very relevant today.

I was able to participate in the EU's Bridging Inclusion, Digitalization and Sustainability program in the Netherlands for the past 2 weeks.
We had teachers & students from Netherlands, Finland, Canada, Denmark & Portugal.
We did workshops in AI, cybersecurity, digital forensics, podcasting, etc.

Tomorrow (Friday, 3/21) is World Down Syndrome Day. That day is chosen because DS is caused by a 3rd copy of the 21st chromosome. So wear bright and/or mismatched socks to celebrate the contributions of people with DS. #RockYourSocks #WDSD2025

In times of instability investors tend to gravitate toward the American dollar. He's not going to invade Canada or Greenland and he doesn't care what happens in Ukraine. I really believe Trump's ridiculous statements lately are to create instability in the world to bolster US investments.

I've been coaching Special Olympics basketball and I see firsthand the power of inclusion.

Had a great meeting with @SusanHoltNB Thursday. We talked about Down syndrome, Autism, service animals and how we can make life more affordable for NBers living with a disability & their families. She is very knowledgeable on disability issues and focused on putting public policy on the fast track.

Fears that GenAI coding tools will harm programming skills are nothing new—every abstraction, from C to IDEs, faced similar criticism. But engineering is about solving problems, not just writing code. These tools free us from mundane tasks, letting us tackle challenges we couldn't address before.

We ended up with about 335lbs of tomatoes in our garden this year. We ate lots, froze lots and gave lots away. This is what we have left still ripening.

For the UN International Day of Persons with Disabilities yesterday, we rewired a bunch of toys so that they can be operated with large switches instead of tiny buttons. This allows children of all abilities to play and interact with them. It was fun!
