We’re back. This time for provincial championships. So many amazing swimmers!
Days like today, I wouldn’t mind being like George for a few minutes: unaware and content
Finished reading: Waves in an Impossible Sea by Matt Strassler is a fascinating, comprehensive, and clear book about field theory in physics. I’ve read a few books on this topic and this is the best one. If you’re curious about particle physics and want to avoid math, you’ll like this one 📚
🖖 Finished the final season of Star Trek: Lower Decks. Lots of fun, though you need to be at least a moderate Trekkie to get most of the jokes
This is important!I already boosted this, but I want to add more emphasis. I think every Canadian citizen of the Fediverse ought to sign this petition to get the Government of Canada off Xitter: https://www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en/Petition/Details?Petition=e-5359
Could anyone who has any Canadian followers please boost or just re-post it yourself? This matters.
🏊♂️ Rare treat of having a lane to myself on today’s swim
🇨🇦 Regardless of if any of the proposals are adopted (though I think several should be carefully considered), I’m glad to see Build Canada is offering bold ideas. We need more of this, especially these days
At the pool for high school city championships. Lots of excitement!
❄️ Running out of room for the snow
📝 A new season for my notes
I reflect on my evolving note-taking methods, combining digital tools and a return to writing in a physical notebook for a more engaging experience.
🇨🇦 The Sutherland Quarterly
I recommend the Sutherland Quarterly for informative quarterly books on important Canadian topics.
🏃♂️ Sidewalks were mostly clear on today’s recovery run
Added new screen to manage your muted users, keywords, and blocks.
A nice addition to make it easier to quiet down the timeline, especially these days. Good to see this synchronizes across to Greg Morris' micro.social app too.
🔗 Matt Gurney: I hereby propose the Ice Bucket Challenge for National Survival
The premiers can and must break the stifling complacency that is such a hallmark of modern Canadian politics and use the power of social media, and simple shame, to get the ball rolling. To do something. And then do another thing, and another thing, and another thing.
Bad day for a broken shovel ❄️
🚴 Updating my indoor bike setup
After over 7,600 km of indoor cycling on a complicated setup, I’m considering purchasing the Zwift Ride for a more convenient and dedicated virtual cycling experience.
Finished reading: Shit My Dad Says by Justin Halpern is a lot of fun 📚
George had a busy day
🏃♂️ Winter wonderland on today’s run. Slippery and uneven conditions helped keep the easy pace on target while adding in extra ankle and calf work.
🎵 We Didn’t Know We Were Ready by Ólafur Arnalds is a lovely song
