Last night we gathered community builders to ideate on how we can rebuild Vancouver’s once-thriving meetup scene. 🥳 What resources can we pool for the betterment of the ecosystem? 🤔 It was a total blast and we are collating our findings and planning Stage 2. 📈 If you’re an organizer, REACH OUT 🤝

Lots of enthusiasm and positivity (and advice from experienced folks) for forming an #atproto WG at @ietf.org
We had 130 people on the stream and a very active chat.
Great job @bnewbold.net and @dholms.xyz and everyone else.
Thank you all for showing up! 👏

Excellent interview with Joe Watkins about his new book “Indigenizing Japan: Ainu Past, Present, and Future” by @newbooksnetwork.bsky.social. I learned about Shakushain’s Revolt. Upopoy is the only National Museum I have not been to. Gonna get this book! 📚

Started The AI Mirror by Shannon Vallor @shannonvallor.bsky.social 📚
GenAI shows us what we already are. A mirror can be useful, showing us what we cannot normally see, but it can occlude and distort.
Also re-reading her Technology and the Virtues which I used teaching Digital Ethics at UBC

Currently reading: The Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R. Tolkien 📚
Started the Andy Serkis narrated version. Already 10% in but is it only Ch2! There have already been about 8 prologues and prefaces and various philological treatises. I just wanted to get to the bloomin’ party! 🍖🎇

Started listening to The Hobbit as narrated by Andy Serkis 📚
After one chapter it is delightful.
I am going to do a reread of the main four books and then expand into the full Tolkienverse over the next few years.

Finished A Little Hatred by Joe Abercrombie 📚
The last 20% of the book was basically setup for the next book. That said, he sure packed in a lot in those two closing chapters.
5th Abercrombie I have read this year. Sheesh! can I hold off for the last two of the series!?

The #polyglotunconf afterparty was held at the False Creek Yacht Club. The organizers did a great job at making the weather nice 😎 Had a good time connecting with some very interesting folks. This is a great conf for bringing together people from many different walks of computing life.
