    Finch Fair

    by

We began our trip on Friday, June 30th, and made the four to five […]

    Macaza

    by

    Frog on a Log

    by
    July 9, 2023. Today's walk was a very hot (and itchy) one on Petrie Island. I've uploaded a photo set. But also, I managed to install my own YouTube clone - PeerTube - on my own web server. Very happy about that. https://flic.kr/p/2oNzB4c

    Love

    by
    June 26, 2023. This was on display in St. Laurant shopping centre. I think it's their contribution to Pride celebrations, but without any real courage of their convictions. I worked in the office today (and they finally got air conditioning working, y...

    Luggage

    by
    June 18, 2023. This is my luggage heading into the chute at Schipol airport. I've taken to photographing my luggage as it gets checked in so there's no mistake about its existence or its nature. This especially applies for Air Canada, which has been ha...

    Sunset

    June 22, 2023. Sunset as seen from my front porch. It's interesting this time of the year because the sun sets so far to the north. Another day working at home, focused mostly on newsletter contents. Also some IRAP work. Like yesterday, I was indoors ...
