Arriving at Rules as Code Europe 2026 in the Hague Convention Centre this morning.

Almost 300 #RulesAsCode professionals registered to attend! 🤯

Reading about the changes to F1 this year, and how unhappy the drivers are...

Yeah. Drivers maintain momentum. You replaced momentum with batteries. They literally have to go slower in braking zones and corners to win races.

Why would they like that?

But what matters will be if there is passing.

My wife made me a #RulesAsCode shirt!

Going to spend a week visiting Netherlands, and attending the #RulesAsCode Europe 2026 conference to talk about §Blawx's history inside the GoC, and what's coming; and to learn from the largest and fastest growing RaC community on the planet.

250 attendees is just wild to me.

If you knew Bob, or his work, if you are a fan of choral music, or if you are curious how we choristers celebrate our heroes, you would be welcome to watch.

One of the songs is entitled "Sing me to Heaven", and that is precisely what we intend to do.

If you listen, heaven may hear better.

The funeral is tomorrow morning at OLPH Church in Sherwood Park, with a prelude musical performance beginning in the sanctuary at 10:25am.

Bob's daughters have asked for donations to the Alzheimer's Society in his memory.

It will be live-streamed at www.youtube.com/@christinede...

My wife and I have joined an honour choir of around 125 singers that will be performing many of the songs he chose for his own funeral, led by four phenomenal conductors who studied under or worked with him.

It has been a unique and deeply impressive labour of true love. 2/

Alberta Legislature Carillon player and prolific choir conductor with Greenwood Singers and the University of Alberta Mixed Chorus, Bob DeFreece, passed away recently.

He was famous for telling his choristers "this will be sung at my funeral." Now we have a chance to make that true. 1/

We are still very much in the first phase of talking about AI. Will it replace white collar workers? Yes, some of them, and it will change the jobs of the rest. Wrong question.

What can we do now that we have never done before because mental effort and knowledge is commoditized?

That's the future.

Honestly, the AI discourse in law is so immature.

When electricity came, the first thing we did was to replace huge fossil fuel-powered power sources.

Then we realized that electricity is efficient in smaller quantities, and built smaller machines, and brought the wires to them. 1/

Your first and third options are not mutually exclusive. They can be evil and think that is the law. In fact, the relationship may be causal. Or even identical.

A friend walked into a trophy store today and saw a demo plaque with a little league team photo.

The photo was from the 80s, a team sponsored by the store.

Then he looked closer and discovered that I was one of the players and my dad was one of the coaches! 😂

My parents are immigrants. My wife and her parents are immigrants. Danielle Smith was begging for.people to come to this province not two years ago.

Now she wants to blame immigrants for the state of our health care and education systems?

Fuck her. Fuck that. Fuck no.

Watched about 2m of Trump's response to the SCOTUS decision and whoo boy. He's saying some buck wild stuff.

Dotard level stuff.

But yeah, let's continue to pretend this is normal, and let him decide whether to bomb Iran.

Newsflash: After a year, US justice system confirms it can in fact read the constitution. Commentators doubt it matters.

Me: "We should wire your gaming PC into the new modem."

Them: "How long will that take?"

Me: "15 minutes?"

Three hours later, wifi is out for the whole house, I'm sitting cross-legged on the floor of my livingroom, rewiring an RJ45 outlet on a cat5 cable I inadvertently un-pulled two hours ago.
😞

Things have changed again, sure. But there is another thing, here, screaming at me to be said out loud, and I don't know what it is. I can't find it.

I'm going to have to ask the AI, obviously.

K, it's been a few days, and I don't think anything about AI has been so much of a "this is huge, but I don't quite understand why in a way I can make explicit, yet" moment as this Harness development post.

My mind will not let go of it, and it also won't tell me why it is holding onto it.

Congratulations to Minneapolis and MN.

You did it right. You made their lives miserable, you made their job impossible, you made them overreact, two of you sacrificed your lives, the rest of you were undaunted, they lost all semblance of moral authority, and you won, honouring the lives lost.

This harness development thing has got me SHOOK.

Ireland: a proper country.

Nice to have the support of corporate America in making inconvenient facts disappear, I guess.

Hopefully we can continue to have relatively sane campaign finance laws, and a relatively non-partisan process for appointing the highest court. But people need to be made aware why what we have is less awful, and encouraged to protect and improve the things that work, against the forces of entropy.

My middlest's high school was on lockdown this morning.

High school is not now what it once was.

We have avoided the scourge of school shootings in the US, and hopefully they continue to remain extremely rare.

But it's difficult to imagine that anything awful in the US is not coming eventually.

K, well bluesky is even more dismal than usual, and it's not even because of the Olympic hockey game.

Seeing some US athletes in Italy speaking out against what's happening in Minnesota is nice.

Hearing some politicians taking an actual stand on the Epstein files is nice.

Everything else sucks.

Canada's ladies looking a little outclassed without their captain today. A lot of unnecessary mistakes. Hopefully Poulin can get back on the ice quickly.

Blawx-Powered Agentic Coding | §Blawx How coding agents can use Blawx to write compliant software

I couldn't wait to do the first §Blawx-powered coding agent experiment. Short version is that the workflow works, but the coding task was too easy to be confident whether the Blawx encoding was helping. #LegalTech #RulesAsCode app.blawx.dev/content/blaw...

Changelog: v2.0.3 & Blawx-MCP v0.1.0b | §Blawx Connect Blawx to your AI Agents

app.blawx.dev/content/chan... v2.0.3 of Blawx, and v0.1.0b of Blawx-MCP are now live. Stay tuned for some examples of what they can do. #LegalTech #RulesAsCode

Or, and I know this is going to sound crazy, but stay with me, how about you just refuse to fund them until the government proposes something systemic that will stop the murders, kidnappings, and concentration camps.

Because nothing here will even help a little.
