    Do Not Push

    by
    June 21, 2022. I don't know who looks at the back of a dump truck like this and says "Yeah I want to push that." I spent most of the day today working on my emerging theories article (doesn't look like I'll make the deadline - I should have learned by ...

    Hey Siri, play Introducing Me from Camp Rock 2, by Nick Jonas

    by
    ”Do-do-dododo-do”…for those of you who understand this ~iconic~ song and movie reference…thank you, you get me. For those of you who dont..thats awkward. Let me try again: Hi! I’m Grace ? I am super excited to create and share new content with my pals in Digital Storytelling this summer. Fun fact about me: this is the second time I am taking DS106 (oops!) and this time, I’m ready to do it right! This class is starting while I am on a family vacation at the beach (glass half full: hey, at least class starts while you are at the beach!! glass half empty: …ew sucks you are at the beach when class has to start) and I decided to take a little bit of advantage of this fact and add it into how I was saying hi to everyone. Take a look!

    Touchette Bridge

    by
    June 20, 2022. This bridge is part of my regular ride to St. Albert and points east - it's on a nice quiet road (rte 650) safe and pleasant for cyclists. However, with a tender recently being awarded, it will be closed for a year in a matter of days an...

    Outdated Pattern

    by
    I did this from a book and then found out that the café does not exist anymore. There also have been modifications over time. Thus the foto and pattern for the drawing in the book must be really old.Cafe:https://flic.kr/p/2ntpposChanges: https://i...

    Four Spotted Skimmer

    by
    June 19, 2022. We spotted this beauty in the north Limerick Forest, near Merrickville, along Scotch Line Road. We had a nice 6.7 km hike through the forest, getting to a viewing station overlooking the Wolford Bog. Nice walk, lots of flowers, insects a...

    Expedition Complete

    by
    June 18, 2022. This is the scene at the end of Expedition 7 in No Man's Sky (at least for me, it's different for everyone). I was planning to cycle today but after the late night and kind of a tough week I just stayed indoors and finished the expeditio...

    Cheerleaders

    by
    June 17, 2022. It was the Ottawa Redblacks home opener today, and they lost a hard-fought game to Winnipeg. But the team is so much better than it was last year. More crazy weather, with rain at time streaking into the stadium from both directions at o...

    Storm Day

    by
    June 17, 2022. This wasn't anything like the storm of a few weeks ago, but with everyone on edge there was a long of nervous sky watching. Some good cloud formations, but nothing like what they had in Toronto. More work on Mojolicious today; it's progr...

    Cat Tunnel

    by
    June 15, 2022. Andrea bought an extension to the cat tunnel, so it's a full circle now, and the cats have taken to it; here's Charlemagne enjoying it. Back to more work on Mojolicious today (I know I should be writing, not coding, but I've spent so muc...

    Base Computer

    by
    June 14, 2022. No Man's Sky has had a new expedition running over the last few weeks; this is a scene from it. It's their most difficult expedition to date, and to my mind, the most fun. Some meetings today, and the newsletters feel like they're going ...

    Grand Finale

    by
    Avery is on her way home from another 12 hour shift at work. She’s tired of hearing the same music she has on shuffle, while she does love it, everything just feels monotonous. Instead of taking her regular route to work, she goes the long way, willingly sitting in traffic just to be out of […]

    Form of Awesome: Week 1

    by
    This month, I’m participating in some professional development offered through Reclaim Hosting’s EdTech Subscription, where we’re diving into all the Gravity Forms offers. Last week, we met for the first time so I wanted to jot down some notes and set up some gorals for the next 3 weeks! First, I did have some experience […]

    New Tool Find: Scribe

    by
    I wanted to highlight a very cool tool I found (thanks to TikTok!). I am always running folks through processes, like renewing domains or transferring accounts, where the process would be the same each time you go through the scenario. I write documentation for these processes or writing within tickets. Any time I can Use […]

    Petrie Island

    by
    June 12, 2022. View from our hike on Petrie Island. The park on the Ottawa River was flooded and had a lot of storm damage. Trails were impassible; they were either lakes or blocked by fallen trees. We tried anyways, which was probably a mistake. Our a...

    Small Poutine

    by
    June 11, 2022. This was lunch at the Finch Restaurant in Finch, Ontario. This is a normal sized burger and (believe it or not) a small poutine. I didn't even attempt to finish it, not with another 25km to cycle to wrap up my three-day shakedown ride. O...

    Avonmore Oasis

    by
    June 10, 2022. I woke up in my tent at Enchanted Forest Camp near Curran and cycled about 50km to reach Avonmore Oasis, seen here in the evening sun. It was quite a challenging day not the least because I was bitten by a dog, had to cope with rain, and...

    Get Yo Pride On! DIY macrame Rainbow??

    by

    Happy Pride Month!! Pride is commemorated in June, since that was the month when the Stonewall Riots occurred. For those who aren’t as familiar, the Stonewall Riots were protests that took place in 1969 in the US, that helped ignite gay rights in America. The rainbow also has cultural significance in Hawaii, where Hawaii is […]

    Reading Movies: No Subtitles

    by
    For learning more about video, I read “How to Read a Movie” and watched The Shining // Zooms, Tarantino // From Below and Examples of Editing Techniques. Ebert suggest to dissect movies frame by frame. In a group of people there is so many different ethnicities, backgrounds, languages, experiences and more that can contribute to […]
