Need a low friction way to put the food I make for my family of four somewhere so I can document them in more depth later. Mute this thread if you don't like food; it is mostly for me. (but comments are welcome) Not a photographer, just someone who enjoys cooking. Anyway 1/*

My oldest kid is getting into greek mythology primarily thanks to this book series: Percy Jackson - pretty great reads for kids. (if anyone has other recommendations, happy to hear them. he's a prolific reader)

Biking around Halifax today was thinking how great the colours are. I love when the reds and yellows dance together, like in the attached (which I took while riding my bike so prob a bit odd lookin') I'm grateful when I can slow down and notice these things.

I love that the new DeeDee’s has a print of the original Halifax location on its walls

I run thru the WSE most mornings. The (perceived) volume this year is incredible — daily. Watched ambulance struggle its way through the backlog. I try to minimize my driving. We do well, but can be tricky with a busy family. Many of these folks likely lack good (transit) options. What a mess.

@mitsuhiko.at Hey Armin. I'm curious if Pi supports the latest MCP specification (modelcontextprotocol.io/specificatio...)? Based on this (github.com/earendil-wor...), it seems Pi operates under the 2025-11-25 revision?

Spontaneously popped over to York Redoubt for an afternoon of exploration and was cool to see how much this site is used by folks for a walk, play (bunch of kids were having a soccer match), walking their doggies, watching the harbour—bit of everything Oh and there’s bike parking. 🚲

Earlier today my 6yo daughter did her first solo bike ride (as I ran beside her) from Fairview to the Mumford Walmart. It’s OK until you get to the shopping centre, and it made me recall the proposed redevelopment. I’d love to see that started in my lifetime. engagehalifax.ca/west-end-mall

8 cyclists at the corner of Almon & Robie today around 4:30, 4 of those were kids (of varying ages). Change is happening but to most it looks invisible cause we're free flowing around this city on our #BikeHfx wheels.

This moody Halifax morning bringing me some serious #BikeHfx joy as I casually ride back home on the Mainland Trail.

Surface parking.

It’s beautiful!

Yesterday the kids went to the aquarium store with their grandparents (we now own fish, apparently) and my oldest used our old iPod touch from 2008 to help navigate gramps. This is the way.

I have no plans to build a house but I absolutely devour books like this. An expert distilling decades of knowledge into 200 pages. Bonus are the wonderful calligraphy and hand drawn diagrams.

Was in Tatamagouche recently for the first time. Strolled through the town; cute, had pizza with the family, missed out on blueberry picking oops. Found a proper looking repair station, decided this is a nice add to the #BikeHfx parking map. Now to find all the ones in HRM (that aren't broken!?)

Technical debt.

@halifaxretales.bsky.social Got any scoops on what's going in at the former pawn shop beside 3615 Dutch Village Rd? They are renovating the building, so naturally I'm curious 👀

My almost 6yo daughter would like to report she counted 15 bikes on our ride from north end summer camp to Fairview 😀 #bikehfx @stats.hfx.bike

Morning glow. #seenonmyrun

Slip lane to sit lane conversion. Dutch Village Road, Halifax

We were discussing in the below thread the lack of repair stations (sadly, many are broken). New one in HRM up in Bedford! Will it last? Love the pump! Good location, though.

Good morning, my deer friend.

#halisky Has anyone pulled their garlic yet? (Share region if you are comfortable doing so!)

It’s my first time reading The Hobbit — almost embarrassing. It’s our latest “shared reading” book. I read much fantasy as a teen but as an adult it’s been mostly non fiction and depressing stuff. Having a lot of fun reading this with the kids!

Definitely not parking here, so I park there instead. (Clayton Park Professional Centre at corner of Lacewood and Dunbrack)

Me just sending out to the universe an appreciation for whomever writes the daily notes at Canada Games Centre. Always a nice little dose of joy! (And motivation when you lack it?)
