    October 31, 2022
    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

    October 31, 2022
    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...

    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...

    October 29, 2022
    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...

    October 23, 2022
    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

    October 23, 2022
    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:...

    October 23, 2022
    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...

    October 21, 2022
    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

    October 21, 2022
    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...

    October 18, 2022
    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

    October 18, 2022
    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

    October 18, 2022
    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...

    October 15, 2022
    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.

    October 13, 2022
    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...

    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

    October 12, 2022
    From Inside Higher Education (April 24, 2012), such a modest course “Open course in digital storytelling, a holdover from before open learning was associated with massive tools wielded by celebrity professors, remains content with its modest but devoted following.” Thanks @Todd_Conaway for rediscovering 10 years later I was visiting the...

    Warning: Trying to access array offset on value of type null in /home/tillysis/public_html/wp-content/themes/markup/templatesell/filters/excerpt.php on line 29
    When looking for inspiration for what to turn into glitch art, I was really hoping to find one single theme or type of thing to use. I was originally thinking of doing landscapes or sunsets, but I almost felt like those were both too generic and not interesting enough. While

    October 10, 2022. This is my spaghetti container, viewed from the top, on my kitchen counter. I don't eat spaghetti as much as I would like because the carbs mean weight gain. Today, Thanksgiving in Canada, was a quiet day indoors doing some work ( whi...

    October 9, 2022
    October 8, 2022. We were all watching the game, even the cats. This was a bit before the play that tied the game. It was a pretty shocking outcome, and it's tough to say "wait till next year" so early in the playoffs, but that's baseball. Otherwise it ...
