    Happy Halloween Witches! Not so spooky adult diy witch hat

    by

    Happy Halloween and Día de los Muertos from Mexico (Evan and I are currently in Tulum)! In honor of the Hocus Pocus 2 debut this year, my partner and I decided to throw a Hocus Pocus party. In preparation for the event, I ordered a Sarah Sanderson custom-made costume from Etsy. I also crafted a […]

    Atletico

    by
    October 30, 2022. We went to the Canadian Premier League final today. Our team lost to Hamilton, but the city was the big winner as we put 14,992 people in the stands, which for league soccer in Canada is a pretty big deal. It was interesting to compar...

    RedBlacks

    by
    October 29, 2022. It was the last game of the season today and our last hope to see a win. Did we see one? No. The team went a perfect 0-9 at home this year. Maybe next year; the games are still fun and I hear that winning makes them even more enjoyabl...

    Cat and Railing

    by
    October 28, 2022. Anyone who lives with cats knows that their lives are regulated by the carts. There's 'string time', 'lunch time', and as illustrated here, 'the petting zone', meaning I must go downstairs at routine times and pause to play with at le...

    Frost Damage

    by
    October 27, 2022. These plants are (or were) growing in the back yard, right up against the house, but as you can see, we had a couple of hard frosts this week and now they're just husks of their former shelves. Wrapped up work on the bookmarklet today...

    Tree

    by
    October 26, 2022. I liked the way the tree stood out against the clouds in the background in this early morning shot (it doesn't really come out in the photo - the Pixel 4 is good but I'm pining for a new Pixel 7 pro, not yet in stock at Bell). More wo...

    Chairs

    by
    October 25, 2022. Chairs stacked in the Costco. I haven't actually been inside the Costco for months, but I needed to accompany Andrea today. I thought I might get a Pixel 7 pro, but the store doesn't have the Bell booth any more, so have to go elsewhe...

    Afternoon Light

    by
    Octobert 24, 2022. Looking out the sliding doors behind my kitchen table spot in the afternoon, after work, as the light fades. The idea of making bookmarklets has caught my imagination and so I spent a good part of the day figuring it out and learning...

    Late Fall Flowers

    by
    October 22, 2022. These are growing in the front yard despite the hard frosts that we've had recently. I spent the day messing around with the bookmarklet and finishing my video series playing No Man's Sky Waypoint edition. https://flic.kr/p/2nUJQvR

    Sharing Space

    by
    October 21, 2022. This is the new cat cave we got the other day and in an unexpected display of sharing the two cats were seen side by side inside it. Worked on my bookmarklet more today and solved most of the major issues parsing indieweb code. https:...

    Cedar

    by
    October 20, 2022. This is a close-up look at the cedar hedge beside the house. It's on the healthy side (which has not been trimmed to death and then poisoned by the neighbour). Spent the day attending the final day of the Open Education conference and...

    Leaves of Autumn

    by
    October 18, 2022. Generic coloured leaves on a tree at a shopping centre. Today was a fairly busy day with meetings and such, which is why the photo isn't that amazing. It happens. My days are full. That's a good thing. https://flic.kr/p/2nUiwbt

    Ready for Halloween

    by
    October 17, 2022. This is our front door, with Son of Bones hanging from the lamp, the gravestone and pumpkins array about. It's really the only seasonal decorating I do; I'm not big on the other holidays. Reasonably productive day today catching up on...

    Guindon Park

    by
    October 16, 2022. We went for a hike in Guindon Park today, not too long. In the fall we have to stay in public parks to avoid the hunters. I also spent a good amount of time working on my slides for Tuesday. https://flic.kr/p/2nTJSsQ

    Inside the Wasp’s Nest

    by
    October 16, 2022. The recent windstorm blew the cover off the wasp's nest in our apple tree, revealing what was inside. Pretty cool. Today was mostly a day off, spent playing No Man's Sky, though I did work on my slides a bit. https://flic.kr/p/2nTG948

    Aberdeen Pavilion

    by
    October 15, 2022. This is the Aberdeen Pavilion as seen from the upper north stands at TD Place at Lansdowne Park during the RedBlacks game. It was quite an entertaining game but we still managed to find a way to lose. I otherwise spent the day working...

    How Brain training makes a person smart?

    by
    Besides physical training and body workouts, brain fitness is a new concept that emerged in the 21st century. However, the importance of the brain is discovered very early in history. According to the most outstanding scientist and philosopher, the human brain is tiny but one of the most complex objects of the universe, that holds […]

    Windstorm

    by
    October 13, 2022. The photo doesn't really do it justice, but we had a pretty good local windstorm for a bit this afternoon. Power even went out for a bit (but not during any of the many meetings I had today). Yesterday and today have been pretty produ...

    Extended Care Centre

    by
    October 12, 2022. This an inside hallway at an extended care centre. I visited a number of them today looking for my mother (I'm really not good at remembering names and addresses). This was after having my car tires changed and having an online meetin...

    Dawn

    by
    October 11, 2022. I'm up early enough this week to see the dawn. I don't like it. Not the dawn - I like the dawn. But I don't like being up early. But I'm back at work after an extended leave and have a lot of catching up to do. https://flic.kr/p/2nSHJSN
