Look beyond common anecdotes and misconceptions—like, for example, the whole left brain/right brain debate—and you’ll find a surprising amount of overlap.

Bringing up a core tenet and putting real pressure on it is harder than agreeing, and it got me thinking all week. I haven’t been able to put the thought down. So here’s where the study led me.

If I want to check my calendar, I open a calendar app. If I want to check my email, I open an email app. At work though, I’m locked into the standard PC-based, Microsoft environment.

Which is not where every family dinner goes, but ours wandered there, and I was happy to follow it. The hard part was that I could hear myself explaining something visual with too many words. Pi is easy enough to point at: circles, wheels, ripples in water, pizza if you need the obvious dinner-table… ## [Join the Ride of Hope: Terry Fox Foundation calls on Canadians to participate in annual cycling fundraisers this summer](https://terryfox.org/media-centre/join-the-ride-of-hope-terry-fox-foundation-calls-on-canadians-to-participate-in-annual-cycling-fundraisers-this-summer/) _2026-05-20 · Sabrina Tu · Terry Fox Foundation_ Sixteen rides across seven provinces, including three new “Terry Tough” challenges, will raise funds to finish Terry’s fight against cancer May, 20 2026 (Toronto, ON) – This summer, the Terry Fox Foundation is calling on Canadians from coast to coast to lace up, clip in, and ride in the 12th Annual Ride of Hope to \[…\] The post Join the Ride of Hope: Terry Fox Foundation calls on Canadians to… ## [Lumira Ventures, together with the Terry Fox Foundation and the Canadian Cancer Society, announce first close of the Cancer Breakthrough Fund](https://terryfox.org/media-centre/lumira-ventures-together-with-the-terry-fox-foundation-and-the-canadian-cancer-society-announce-first-close-of-the-cancer-breakthrough-fund/) _2026-05-05 · Sabrina Tu · Terry Fox Foundation_ Just one year after launch, the Fund was oversubscribed with participation from leading Canadian cancer charities, impact investors, institutional investors and family offices.

That stuck for a while.

What it didn’t have was people. That bothered me.

OpptyNet finds government RFPs for us. Upstraker tracks upstream patches across our open source contributions. Both needed real UI design, not just “make it work” design.

It started as a dream and turned into something I couldn’t stop thinking about. A suburban dad finds a gecko wearing self-made robotic armor in the garden. It grows.

It’s one of the deuterocanonical books – part of the Catholic and Orthodox biblical canon but filed under “Apocrypha” by Protestants. A novella, really.
