I'm excited by long walks, cycling up mountains, MTBing down them, LEGO, thoughtful writing, and playing with geospatial data.

caught a rare sighting of the 'black swan of brentwood'. seen him 3 times in 2 months now. he's never walking, only dancing like a swan in his little kippah

Joked a little too hard, now I'm giving a talk at a university about this project

Apparently this article has been making the rounds in the some africana/academic circles

Spent the morning untangling morning glories, pulling out blackberry rhizomes, and planting thimbleberries near the Renfrew ravine

First time walking New West's quayside. I could sit next to the koi all day. Also, what's on poplar island?

i like the bookends Le Guin includes in this collection:

"That requires not a war but a search and discovery. The search takes him through mortal danger, loss, and suffering. The discovery brings him victory, the kind of victory that isn't the end of a battle but the beginning of a life."

coming up with archetypes is fun.

“The Bridger” would be interesting to implement in a classifier: trips crossing bridges (bus rides would be tricky, but possible)

though sometimes i get carried away with 'getting reds', and end up being the one who’s late 😅

coolest thing about the side quest to walk all of this city is there's no such thing as delays anymore, just misadventures.

friend's 15 mins late to our cafe hang in the west end? no problem, i'll just walk around for bit, exploring the unexplored

hades 2’s arcana system reminds me of what i wanted to make for compass card wrapped, i.e. you unlock cards based on your transit history

some personal news: i'm on a break!

updated kevindeyoungster.com with a statement (speech bubble), and my first attempt at a poem this year (hidden in the nascent undergrowth)

We met up at Elysian Coffee! First time meeting a gogomite IRL and it was so satisfying hearing him share how he uses Gogomi ~every day.

Really cool seeing someone nerd out about something you made!
