    To Mont Tremblant

    by
    July 25, 2022. Today we returned to Mont Tremblant for our annual visit, driving up in the morning and walking around the townsite in the afternoon. We missed the Blues Festival this year, because it was scheduled too late (I like to book accommodation...

    End of the Trail

    by
    July 23, 2022. Cycled through Embrun to see if anyone was home (they weren't) and down to the end of the NY Central trail in Russell, where I took this photo. Nice easy 58 km today (I also did some yardwork). https://flic.kr/p/2nAcUQX

    Thistle

    by
    July 22, 2022. We received a notice from the village office today telling us to cut our grass and remove noxious weeds. I think we may have a very different definition of what counts as a noxious weed. Less productive today, wrapping things up preparin...

    Great Crowd

    by
    July 21, 2022. It's too bad the RedBlacks lost today because we had a great crowd on hand, absolutely filling the north side stands (they still can't fill the south side, which should be noted as they design a rebuilt north side - we need our roof. Tod...

    PopSilo

    by
    July 20, 2022. Out for a quick bike ride to St. Albert (the bridge still isn't closed) and took this from the outside wall of the St. Albert cheese facroty. It's just a bit of background from a big image of a cow, and we see a 'Pop Silo' - the artist's...

    Donut Holes

    by
    July 19, 2020. A view of a fresh batch of donut holes at the Tim Hortons. I thought they looked more attractive than usual. Continued exploring Moodle 4 today, this time working with MoodleNet. https://flic.kr/p/2nA9QeS

    Waiting for Water

    by
    July 18, 2022. Lexi knows that if she goes to the kitchen tap and waits, someone (usually me) will turn on a nice stream of cold water for her. I have a week of work and then a lot of vacation, so I can't start anything big, but can do a video about in...

    Hollowgrove

    by
    Ages into the future is a land inhabited by a wide variety of strange fauna and broken monuments. Tucked in a cave is a family of rock like beings, hundreds of smaller ones working under a monolithic queen. It tells one small rock in particular to follow their dreams, and they do. And as Rudy […]

    by
    Last week I had the privilege of writing a recommendation for Michael Branson Smith to gain admission to the masters program in Interactive Data Visualization at the CUNY Graduate Center. And while I’m confident he will get into the program … Continue reading ?

    PorchFest

    by
    July 16, 2022. This is PorchFest in Vankleek Hill. Cycled 105 kilometers there and back today in 30 degree temperatures under a blazing sun and hot dry dusty wind. It was a good day overall, and it's nice to have my first century of the year. https://f...

    by
    July 15, 2022. Charlemagne (orange) and Julia (not orange) sleeping / sitting together on a chair. Friday, the last of the corrections for my paper are done, two interviews complete, an article for OEB (which accepted my proposal) is done, feeling good...

    The Ford Plant

    by
    June 14, 2022. As I understand it, this is a new Ford parts provisioning centre, located here in Casselman, just on the other side of the highway. So Casselman officially has an industrial district. https://flic.kr/p/2nyQBjN

    Week 4 dev log

    by
    This week was by far the most stressful thanks to the assignments and regular life happenings. My time management was way off this week and I’m not satisfied with my creative works this week nearly as much as some of my previous works. I spent more time struggling to get certain things to work or […]

    Avonmore

    by
    July 13, 2022. Took off a bit early this afternoon and went for a 50km ride to Avonmore, where I spotted this flower across the street while having a snack at Barkley's store. https://flic.kr/p/2nyNFJt

    Tall Milkweed

    by
    January 12, 2022. We are becoming experts at growing milkweed. This plant is almost as tall as I am! That doesn't mean we're awash in butterflies, though. I think I saw one earlier this year, that's it. It's like they don't exist any more. So terribly ...

    Back Yard

    by
    July 11, 2022. This is my back yard. We've had a lot of rain this year and where in previous years our back yard has looked like a desert, this year it looks like a jungle. Don't know what the neighbours think, but honestly, manicured lawns are over-ra...

Her daily creates are very engaging and fun to look through, I had a hard time picking out which week I wanted to comment under. Next up was […]

    Look, listen, analyze

    by
    I picked out the Joker scene for this analysis, I remember seeing it a long time ago and thinking abut how I enjoyed it but couldn’t fully recall it. So what better way to rewatch it than to watch and learn from it! To start, I muted the clip and simply watched the scene unfold. […]
