A little boy in North Vancouver has taken up learning how to play the bagpipes and it's become one of his biggest passions. Meet 4-year-old Frankie and his hero, Frank.
@CanRevAgency T4 Box 57 (employment income from Mar15-May9) was incorrectly filled by my employer who summed income for Mar and Apr instead, causing me to exceed $2000 for this 8 week period. Should I speak with my employer or CRA to resolve this issue?
My mind instantly went to the bagpipes with the mention of drone instruments, but I was wondering how they might be incorporated into a classical music program. Glad to hear you found a way - really enjoying the tune selections thus far! @CBCShift@CBCMusic

@GillianDT@lizrenzetti@brhodes@valleyhack You know I'm a big fan of Murakami so am not exactly impartial, but he's written some nonfiction, including "Underground: The Tokyo Gas Attack and the Japanese Psyche" which I plan to check out as I make my way through his work!
My NY's resolution to read more non-fiction has been much more enjoyable than anticipated, thanks to these books (100% recommend all 4):
Shrewed, @lizrenzetti
The World As It Is, @brhodes
Elon Musk, @valleyhack
Sapiens, Yuval Noah Harari
Recommendations for my next read?
Time for blog post #2 from Japan. This post defines a couple of terms for anyone unfamiliar with isotope geochemistry and describes DFT. I've also included some background on why as a geologist I'm subjecting myself to quantum chemistry. qfir.ca#KFFellows
I've just landed in Osaka for the start of a year-long fellowship that will take me to work with researchers in Japan, England, and Canada. Follow the journey at qfir.ca!
