    Chinese Food

    by
    December 14, 2023. This is a selection from the Chinese Food Market next to the Mandarin Restaurant on Ogilvie Road, where I had lunch. It was decidedly mediocre - the spring rolls especially looked like they had been in the freezer for a few years. I...

    D750

    by
    December 12, 2023. This is my tried and true Nikon D750 camera. I've been using this for, I don't know, almost ten years now. It's showing its wear and it has trouble focusing but I've been reluctant to spend money on a replacement because it's hard t...

    DS106: Remix Monday (Week 4)

    by
    I’m doing a five-week, every-Monday remix of a piece of art from the earlier days of DS106. (Read more about what I am up to here). This is week four. So one more week to go. It’s unusual for me to stay with something like over many weeks time. I am usually a move-quick and […]

    Heartache’s Mosaic: The Unseen Threads of Resilience

    by
    In the midst of a scorching summer, an elderly gentleman returned from his Portuguese escapade, a spot his kids swore by after reveling in its beauty. But alas, he returned ailing, doctors scratching their heads despite weeks of poking and prodding in the hospital. Cue his daughter, a paragon of devotion, swooping in to nurse… Continue reading Heartache’s Mosaic: The Unseen Threads of Resilience

    by
    In higher education assessment is recognised as a driving force for student engagement and curriculum design. How does this tally with a desire for active student-centred learning? How can it accommodate the artistry in the academic practitioner who seeks to … Continue reading ?

    New York Central Trail

    by
    December 10, 2023. This is the ice-covered New York Central Trail through Russell. We wanted to finish relatively early today because I had to be up at 1:30 Monday morning, so we just went to Russell and did the trail and a look through the Tweed fore...

    Pink

    by
    December 9, 2023. This is the back yard in late afternoon. This was the actual colour; it was so startling I had to take a photo (even though yesterday's photo was the same location). The light was quite remarkable; the photo doesn't actually do it ju...

    Blue Sky

    by
    December 8, 2023. This is my back yard. I really liked the light of the blue sky and the clouds. A quiet day today working from home, mostly on the 'context recognition' research. https://flic.kr/p/2pm9icW

    Canada Goose

    by
    December 7, 2023. Canada goose as seen in the Hudson's Bay store downtown. I was in the office today working on 'context recognition' and over lunch went downtown to get some of my favourite Hungarian paprika spice paste (cutting through the Bay becau...

    Snow-Lined

    by
    December 6, 2023. I've been enjoying the way the snow has been stuck to the trees all week. We had a wet snow, and then it stayed cold, so the snow never melted, and there hasn't been enough wind to knock it down. I was going to go into the office tod...

    Tree and CSIS

    by
    December 5, 2023. This is the view outside the second floor window in the stairwell where I work; you can see my building, a tree, a parking lot, and the CSIS building in the background. The building fascinates me because I have never been in it and p...

    DS106: Remix Monday (Week 3)

    by
    I’m doing a five-week, every-Monday (unless I space out and forget to get it done) remix of a piece of art from the earlier days of DS106. (Read more about what I am up to here). This is week three. For this week’s remix, I took the text of the image about remix, and used […]
