Open Banking Coming To Canada https://krisconstable.com/open-banking-coming-to-canada/

I just got back to Vancouver, where one of my developers got https://IdeaWave.ca back up while I was gone. By coincidence, I clicked on Janis La Couvée's talk from 2010, "Set Theory and Human Relationships, the Importance of One" -- having just spent time with all my immediate family, including a few days of 13 of us under one roof -- this talk had more of an impact today as I come back to my bachelor pad than it did back then ... makes me think maybe it's time to revive this conference. https://www.ideawave.ca/conferences/2010/set-theory-and-human-relationships-the-importance-of-one.html will make you think about the impact of your attendance to events of all shapes and sizes...

#Vancouver legend bought a pile of nostr:npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak 's The Bitcoin Standard and is slowly releasing them in the local community book libraries. He puts a BullBitcoin.com sticker on each as well. I've bought many and given them away as well. You can buy it here: https://amzn.to/3noEYzX

He does not qualify as a drama teacher even though he played one his whole life. 100% tax payer funded.

How do we solve the gap of who is messaging who?

A decade ago, the Conservative party (now run by Pierre Poilievre) passed a law that allows some American law enforcement agencies to arrest Canadians on Canadian soil. "the same power to enforce an act of Parliament as a member of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police." #cdnpoli

Beer is strong in Vancouver, lifecycle of a nostr meetup here: Beer 1: This idea is great and what about this? Beer 2: The stragglers show up, lots of cheers and happiness Beer 3: Are you Satoshi? Beer 4 or 5: I think #[0] just showed up Beer 6: I'm turning purple

A reminder to those in #Vancouver, we're having a nostrich meetup at R&B Brewing at 6:30 pm on Tuesday April 11th -- everyone welcome, from builders to the curious. Some of us will be sharing our experiences about nostrica, but we'll also begin planning the future of the Vancouver nostr ecosystem including hackathons and hosting a conference here!

Unpacking the memories...
