@TheDonOfBeer One of my favourites! Dog eared copy in my shelf.

Here is a great book deal! $1.99 for Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi's "Flow'. This is a great book. Highly recommended and you cannot beat that price! amzn.to/4jvix4M

@casey_lau Add in a YYC option and I'll vote ;)

I’m meeting young tech people all the time asking me: San Francisco, Canada or Asia? What do you think?

@nicochristie interested in giving it a shot!

Introducing Shortcut — the first superhuman Excel agent. Shortcut one-shots most knowledge work tasks on Excel. It even scores >80% on Excel World Championship Cases in ~10 minutes. That's 10x faster than humans. Our early preview is live. Just comment for an invite code.

Celebrating innovation, entrepreneurship, and Calgary’s growing tech sector this afternoon at @PlatformCalgary 🚀 As a former small business owner and someone who grew up in an entrepreneurial family, I know how much work, grit, and heart it takes to launch something new. Huge congratulations to Ward 1 resident and founder of bclouder, Davi Paraguai, for graduating from the Platform Incubator program and contributing to the kind of diversification our economy needs. Calgary’s future is being built by problem-solvers and community-minded entrepreneurs like this, and I couldn’t be prouder to support them.

@ChrisLaBossiere I’m headed out to see it tomorrow morning!

@ekryski @MichelleRempel @JoelLightbound Just sent you a LinkedIn DM re @JanakAlford’s Technology Debt in Government initiative. You two should meet if you haven’t yet!

@MichelleRempel @JoelLightbound We've all joked about how many Waterloo devs could have built ArriveCan for literally tens of thousands in infra cost + internship clout, but seriously why don't we make use of this?! Especially since we're going to need to do more onshoring and be more capital efficient.

Can Canada do it's own version of DOGE but a bit more transparent and less back room? I realize we have an Auditor General but Superclusters, Pheonix, SR&ED, CERB fraud, overpriced procurement - it seems like there's a lot of low hanging fruit. @MichelleRempel @JoelLightbound

@casey_lau Not planning to return, but could be convinced! This trip is an adult fam (3 kids in 20’s) getaway. Great food, drink (coffee!) is really the theme. Love street food, and the youths are pretty into underground music.

@Rockster Osaka is the best - what are you looking for? Den Den Town is the place to go for electronics. Are you coming back later in the year for Expo 2025 - I see Canada has an amazing pavilion.

Coffee in Osaka just hits harder.

The Calgary International Film Festival's constellation strategy for CIFF 2024 was a huge success, according to the festivals' 2024 report. CIFF saw 30,750 visitors, up from 27,911 in 2023. buff.ly/4g5dy7m

I’ll admit it, I’m a water snob. We have Mountain Valley Spring delivered in 5 gallon *glass* bottles and use it for all drinking and cooking. I endorse this list.
