    A&V Makes Magic

    by
    Movie Scene: Fight Club – Do not fuck with us I chose a scene from Fight Club given I have never seen the movie and have heard its quite the iconic one. I broke down my reviews in the three ways I was instructed. Look: The character with his face all in the screen obviously […]

    Bikepacking

    by
    June 9, 2022. Spent the morning getting set up (and recording a video of same, which should be up soon on my YouTube page). My intent is to be out bikepacking for three days, starting today (so I'm uploading this photo early). https://flic.kr/p/2nqVr43

    Julia on the Shelf

    by
    June 8, 2022. Julia sits on her shelf overlooking the back yard, waiting impatiently for attention. Today was mostly a day of meetings, but I also got a good start on my upcoming handbook paper submission. https://flic.kr/p/2nqXQiY

    New Tunnel

    by
    June 7, 2022. The cats have a new place to fight over. Andrea bought them this tunnel and they took to it like cats and small containers. Some meetings today, a bit more newsletter work, and a repair to gRSShopper to make sure the newsletter is send au...

    Goldfinches

    by
    June 6, 2022. These are goldfinches on the feeder in our back yard, a bright yellow male and more subdued female. I realize I should have removed the price tag from the rain shield. Wrapped up some lingering email and prepared a lot of OLDaily posts in...

    Pitcher Plant

    by
    June 5, 2022. This is the flower of a pitcher plant. These plants are more well known for their leaves, which curl into a pitcher shape and trap insects for food. The flower, though, is something quite unique. They were about today in the Glengarry For...

    Westboro

    by
    June 4, 2022. This is some wall art along Richmond Road. I needed to pick up my new warmer sleeping bag and also to rest a bit so we went for a walk through the Ottawa neighborhood of Westboro today. https://flic.kr/p/2npSSmT

    Intersection

    by
    June 3, 2022. This is a corner about 10 km south of Casselman and a place where I frequently stop for a short break and some water. It was a late afternoon ride after work (maybe too late because it interferes with sleep, but it's hard to resist a warm...

    Tractor and Plow

    by
    June 2, 2022. This is displayed outside a farm near St. Rose, partway on the route to St. Isadore. It was a nice day and the Blue Jays were playing an afternoon 'getaway day' game, so I booked off a little early and rode 40 km in a nice comfortable rid...

    Moccamaster

    by
    June 1, 2022. Our old coffee machine with all the electronics died a mysterious death by error code. This new machine has minimal electronics and brews a delicious cup of coffee. I spent some time trying to rework my data literacy stuff into a paper, b...

    Thoughts of Lo Radio

    by
    TED Radio Hour & ScottLo “What you put into the course is what you get out of it.” I have heard this phrase a couple times from different people regarding this course and I definitely think it is true. With ScottLo on the LoDown and his review of previous DS106 students work, it became more […]

    2022 Desk Setup

    by
    As promised in my last post, I am writing a post about the tech specs as to how everything comes together on my desk. Working from home again meant I needed to come up with a dedicated space to work, and moving into a new space allowed Brandon and I to think through the perfect […]

    Tractor Through the Trees

    by
    May 31, 2022. This is a tractor spotted through a gap in the trees about a mile south of Casselman. I had to vary my usual route since part of my regular route is under (much needed) construction (I hope they repave it, and don't just leave it as grave...

    Wasp’s Nest

    by
    May 30, 2022. This is a little tiny wasp's nest in our crabapple tree in the back yard. We haven't seen any actual wasps around it yet. It's nice to see the tree doing well this spring. Today was a day of puttering and paperwork, trying to get things i...

    Chapter 2: Will We Make It?

    by
    Overall Week rating: 7/10 because assignments were completed, there were strides made, but still room for improvement. I started out the work week, Monday, with setting up all my post sites. This allowed for me to be able to make sure all had the appropriate tags, categories, etc. and I would definitely recommend because it […]
