Incredibly honoured that a Milky Way image of mine was selected to be a Canadian stamp! The stamp along with a shot of the northern lights celebrates the 150th birthday of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada (@rasc) . Available now at your @canadapostcorp office!

Quote of the year.

[Karri Saarinen @karrisaarinen]

What if we built better software, not just more of it?

[Matt Quinn @IAmMattQ]

@pwnies @sama +1!

[Matt Quinn @IAmMattQ]

@gt @claudeai @cursor_ai So much fun! Appreciate the “brutal” tier addition

@amorriscode @Pr_Brian Can you share a bit more about why linux is tough? Just not enough users?

How to finally become the 10x engineer:

Add WarCraft 3 sounds to Claude hooks to get alerts when it finishes a task or needs permission.

@bcherny This is awesome. Curious why there isn’t any type of device signing like Tailscale? This would prevent someone untrusted using a leaked session token.

@vercel_support why can’t I transfer .ca domains to Vercel? Thanks!

@dhh The intel lunar lake chips in the Lenovo X1 Carbon gen13 plz. I’ve been using Claude to scour for solutions. Also, Opinions on mutli-monitor would be great (I’m using split-monitor-workspaces). Memory management with zram and earlyoom made a huge difference for big workloads.

OMMGGG!!!! 🤯😍. What a “JAW-DROPPING display” from the Aurora Borealis / Northern Lights over Courtmacsherry areas in West Cork Ireland as it emerged for its 1st outing of 2026 on 19/01/2026! 🥰📸🌠🌌💥🌊✨💚❤️ #auroraborealis #aurora #NorthernLights #merrydancers #solarstorm #substorm #CME #sunset #sun #solar #mnwx #January #Winter #Courtmacsherry #Kinsale #WestCork #Cork #PureCork #Ireland #Europe #astronomy #astro #stars #orion #night #NightPhotography #sky #stars #Astrophotography #space #spaceweather #NightSky #photography #photo #art #colour #colours #naturephotography #nature #landscape #landscapephotography #StormHour #ThePhotoHour #WildAtlanticWay @Aurora_Alerts @TweetAurora @AuroraNotify @_SpaceWeather_ @spacewxwatch @TamithaSkov @JAtanackov @Vincent_Ledvina @theauroraguy @TweetAurora @WickyDubs2 @dartanner @treetanner @volcaholic1 @corkbeo @pure_cork @CorkSafetyAlert @yaycork @PortofCork @SouthernStarIRL @SnowbieWx @sryanbruenphoto @CarlowWeather @JoannaDonnellyL @TG4TV @AimsirTG4 @MetEireann @barrabest @WeatherCee @daraobriain @Lauratobin1 @carolkirkwood @BrigidLaffan @PaulByrne_1 @florNEWS @rtenews @donie @KinsaleOnline @NiecyOKeeffe @mtully21 @philipnolan1 @Simon_Murdoch @AlisonTodayFM @StevieGrainger @ahamillphotos @chunder10 @StormHour @StormHourMark

Inspired by tonight's massive geomagnetic storm, I put together a realtime view of the aurora. I've been hooked on using @claudeai code to build whatever comes to mind. This uses WebGL shaders and pulls in realtime data from the @NOAA . Check it out at https://t.co/DIb4lF8jR0

[Matt Quinn @IAmMattQ]

I got home at about 3:30am and could still see the #aurora with my eyes in downtown @cityofcambridge . I took this bleary eyed shot overlooking downtown. @RegionWaterloo @WR_Record #NorthernLights

[Matt Quinn @IAmMattQ]

Lying on the beach, looking straight into the sky and watching rivers of light flow by surrounded by stars. Pretty magical evening.

[Matt Quinn @IAmMattQ]

Unreal Aurora. I’ve never seen colour like this with my eyes. Here are some iPhone shots. North of Grand Bend, Ontario. @weathernetwork #shotoniphone

A few days ago, did you marvel at the temporary darkness when the Moon cast its shadow on Earth? The next total solar eclipse visible in eastern Canada will be in 2106 – over 80 years from now. Drop your best eclipse pics in the comments! 👇🌒

[Matt Quinn @IAmMattQ]

@amazingskyguy Gorgeous. Love how clear the prominences are!

[ESA Earth Observation @ESA_EO]

Blink and you'll miss it 🌑☀️

A total solar eclipse swept across North America yesterday, blocking out the Sun for a few moments.

A total solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth and, for a short period, blocks the face of the Sun, save for a visible ring of light, known as the Sun’s corona.

These images by the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES-16) captured the moon's shadow casted on Earth's surface moving across North America from 16:00 to 23:00 CEST.

@desroches Gorgeous!!

[Matt Quinn @IAmMattQ]

One of the most amazing experiences I’ve ever had. Drove to @Rondeau_PP for clear skies and the result was incredible 🥲 #Eclipse2024 @weathernetwork
