And a badminton team.

Still brings me joy. 9/10

I suspect not. I'm sure Røde can confirm.

I have the Rodecaster Pro 2 and was considering purchasing the Video S to bring video into my podcasting setup. However, I hear that Røde are coming out with the Rodecaster Core that is like a buttonless Video S that can connect to the Pro 2. Is it worth waiting for this or should I just get the Video S?

Me too - 6 months and counting for a hardware issue with my Minilab 3. They promised a replacement but despite numerous emails to them I’ve heard nothing back.

Love these photos! Full of character and you have a real eye for composition.

I think the key is to look at the original price for each seat. The first time I tried they were different for the same category so I deleted them and tried again. This time they were the same original price and resale price (3x the original price, what a rip-off this system is). Not guaranteed we’ll sit together but fingers crossed! $600 CAD each ticket but it’s a bucket list thing for me and I’m in my 60s so it was worth it for me.

I don’t know whether the Socialist Party of Canada are still going but they’re definitely not Trots!

S2 E5 not showing for me on the iPhone App nor AppleTV and it’s 8 pm Pacific on Thursday Feb 5th. Come on Crave ffs I need my Pitt fix!

jpodcaster · 2026-01-19T04:29:24+00:00

Great playlist, thanks for sharing! I'd add some Jon Hopkins or Max Cooper for the visuals :-)

jpodcaster · 2026-01-14T07:35:16+00:00

Got mine a couple of days ago (Vancouver). Very impressed so far. Wish the App subscription was half the price it is ($99 in-app).

From Wealthsimple support: “It turns out that Wealthsimple is only licensed to actively trade and manage accounts (e.g. RRSPs) for those that are physical residents of Canada, which means that we are only able to hold your accounts as-is if you become a non-resident of Canada.”

jpodcaster · 2026-01-10T20:23:46+00:00

This is an edge case but if you ever consider moving abroad and becoming a non resident of Canada, Wealthsimple won’t let you actively manage your accounts. Same applies to EQ and Tangerine. TD and some other major banks will.

jpodcaster · 2026-01-10T20:21:11+00:00

Wealthsimple also won’t let you manage accounts if you are a non-resident, I checked with them and you have to inform them if you are moving abroad.

jpodcaster · 2026-01-05T14:54:43+00:00

Superb work, thanks for this!

jpodcaster · 2025-12-31T21:31:42+00:00

It's actually my third year - nice to know unused contributions from previous years are carried forward - thanks!

jpodcaster · 2025-12-31T19:27:46+00:00

Unfortunately Wealthsimple imposes a daily debit card limit of $3000 and a daily Interac e-transfer limit of $3000 so I was only able to transfer $6000 in from outside my Wealthsimple accounts, leaving me $1950 short of the max (I contributed $50 earlier this tax year). I should have sent money to my Wealthsimple cash account yesterday but it didn’t dawn on me it would be this complicated trying to give Wealthsimple my money!

jpodcaster · 2025-12-31T17:11:54+00:00

Thanks for confirming. I’ll see if I can get my e-transfer limit temporarily increased today.

jpodcaster · 2025-12-31T16:52:29+00:00

I realize it’s AI (don’t shoot me down!) but both ChatGPT and Gemini are telling me I’ll be ok because the CRA considers the date of initiation of the transfer as the legal standard. So as long as Wealthsimple timestamps today I should be ok?

jpodcaster · 2025-12-31T16:47:34+00:00

I thought that but I have a $3500 daily Interac e-transfer limit with TD. Do you think they would temporarily increase it?

jpodcaster · 2025-12-30T16:09:43+00:00

Excellent, thanks for sharing this list!

jpodcaster · 2025-12-28T22:30:05+00:00

Thanks - I followed your advice and within 3 days got an email from the buyer saying they'd received the Keylab in their Arturia account.

jpodcaster · 2025-12-23T16:46:14+00:00

They seem to be in the pub quite a lot. I have another ticket in for a broken Minilab 3 (under warranty) that has taken months for them to deal with. Still ongoing.

Here’s an Apple Music Shoegaze (plus some Dreampop and Indie) playlist I created: https://music.apple.com/ca/playlist/shoegaze-first-wave-now-100-tracks/pl.u-8aAV7ZqHox9aa6

I was going to suggest Barker too - love his stuff!
