When I was a kid, my parents were divorced and neither had much money, so cable TV was sometimes a thing and sometimes not. But I had a radio, and our TV had rabbit ears, so I could get tons of local news and close to half of the Canucks games for free without worrying.

I added a skill to ai bot which added sentry to my most troublesome apps. Integrated with GitHub then it analyzed my code and made a pull request. That’s where the story goes sideways since I didn’t trust this tiny edit to fix app my issues 😂

I'm ranking every mall in Metro Vancouver, and here's my essay on the second entry in my quest: Admiralty Centre in Richmond! It has a great food court, but can a great food court overcome...well, pretty much everything else about Admiralty? Read on!

Mall Profile #2: Admiralty, by Justin McElroy

Aberdeen Mall Location: Richmond Opened: 1996 Approximate number of stores: 50 Anchor tenants: Maple Castella Bakery? The food court itself?   (To listen to our podcast on Admiralty, click here)...

Just heard that enquiries to various car companies in the UK about their pure electric models have increased 'tenfold' in the last week. Interesting not petrol hybrids, which obviously require petrol, all the time... because they're petrol powered vehicles. Just an observation.

Found this little beauty in an old diary. I didn't make it up. Don't know who did. Remember there's nothing to stop you living your dreams, apart from thousands of far more talented people working much harder than you.

"I hit a snag while patching ... the file appears to have become empty unexpectedly." Hmm..."I found an unexpected tool failure that zeroed (File).swift during patching" Oh dear. Is there a problem with robots or humans using robots? Always backup. Use version control. This is not a game!

Here is @bychrischeung.bsky.social's lovely essay on Aberdeen Mall! www.foodcourtinsession.ca/mall-1-aberd... We gave the mall 36.3/50, because any ranking project has to be ridiculously tough to get a high score on, even when it's good (also aberdeen's anchor tenants are lacking for a big place)

Just in time to plan my return to Vancouver… Aberdeen is obviously on the agenda: “There is no mall like Aberdeen in Metro Vancouver. It’s both a portal to East Asia and a centre of Chinese Canadian life; both for local tourists and tourists who have become locals.”…I very much feel like the latter.
