Really interested to come across a lot of younger people who are strongly skeptical about AI. Had one student yesterday tell me he's never tried an AI tool, and lots have reservations about its usefulness and disruptive potential. And for a vocal few, AI is anathema.

Part of the Big Three with Mr. Dressup and The Friendly Giant. It was a cool concept to have a bilingual show at that time, although I learned zero French from it. CBC's decision to cancel it in favour of Sesame Street inserts was a national scandal.

Me: Create an image of a conference room with no centre aisle for the seating. AI: Sure, here's a centre aisle! Me: OK, that's good, but remove the centre aisle. AI: Absolutely, have a centre aisle! Me: Seriously, get rid of the aisle. AI: I have. Here's a centre aisle! 😍 Me: 🔫

Here’s a little something I wrote for the @TheTyee about four community journalists’ efforts to launch a new local newspaper to fill void left by the closure of @TheRecord @BurnabyNOW_News and @TriCityNews#saveourlocalnews thetyee.ca/Opinion/2025/0…
Taking an online course about evaluating online courses so I can teach online courses.
Enjoying this epic thanks to absorbing storytelling by @simonmontefiore . Now at the 10th century, and there's been far more castration, concubinage and ritual human sacrifice than I recall from other reading. Glad to be living in our century.
Badges unlocked for final marking, term grades submitted and car insurance renewal. A few more side quests to go, and I should level up soon.

A fight just almost broke out after these Americans spotted a Canadian fan with a “Eh USA, 11th province? Think aboot it!” sign 😂🇨🇦 #4Nations
Celebrating the victory over our traditional enemies, the Finns.
The most Canadian start to a sporting event in decades.

Thanks to the Four Nations and Trump, I can wear this again. As always, it takes Americans to provoke a Canadian sense of self. From 1812 on (and maybe 1775), we define ourselves as not them. And that's why the rest of the world doesn't really understand Canadian nationalism.
Canadian hockey fans trying that delicate balance between booing the U.S. flag and anthem while applauding for the singer at the end of their performance.
Have read a couple of columns recently that cite Richard Rohmer's Canada vs. America novels from the 1970s. Those books should be republished and make a someone a few bucks. And presumably that would include Rohmer because he's 101!
