    Ritz Carlton

    by
    March 5, 2015. Last day in Riyadh and last day of the conference. I gave my paper today to a satisfying audience (some of the audiences have been tiny) and though I felt it was a bit choppy I received nice feedback. This afternoon I took a walk around...

    Arabian Food

    by
    March 4, 2015. Interesting lighting effect in this restaurant where we ate Arabian Food - this is actually a full colour photo. One more dayy in Riyadh - I give my talk tomorrow - and then it's time to head home. We did a panel today; there were 15 pe...

    Qa?r al-Ma?mak

    by


    March 2, 2015. First full day in Riyadh. I went down to Qaṣr al-Maṣmak, the old fort in the centre of Riyadh, and wandered around the souks and buildings nearby. This isn't the fort; this is a mosque behind some of the reconstruction which takes up a large part of the site nearby. Luggage still has not arrived. From Flickr http://ift.tt/18HJKwz

    Ritz Carlton

    by
    March 1, 2014. I arrived in Riyadh without my luggage. On the bright side, I'm staying at the Ritz Carlton, pictured, so I'll be well taken care of. But for now, sleep. From Flickr http://ift.tt/1N8RHKM

    Canjet

    by
    February 28, 2015. Four hour layover in Pearson en route to Riyadh, where I finished off a 2,000 word paper for the conference (as per usual, I write papers at a consistent rate of 250 words every 15 minutes). This is the view from the lounge at Termi...

    Total Crushing

    by
    February 26, 2015. Kind of a quiet day, which was good because I was tired and had a headache all day. I'm trying to get loose ends wrapped up before I leave on Saturday. That includes some new pants and a Costco run this evening. As I walked around t...

    Snowfall

    by
    February 25, 2015. So we've adopted 'no-meeting Wednesdays' at the office, which means I had only three meetings scheduled for today. But then the first person got the day wrong, which canceled that meeting. One person was double booked, so that cance...

    Basket

    by
    February 24, 2014. Moncton falls 124-89 to a superior London Lightning club in their last home game of the regular season. Good crowd, but a disappointing result. It has been that kind of season. From Flickr http://ift.tt/17woVD4

    Rich

    by
    February 23, 2015. Busy day today, spin class after, so I forgot my memory card and had to use my phone for photos. The Galaxy Note has a good camera but it strruggles a bit in low light. Anyhow, these are guest dancers at tonight's Miracles gamer. Go...

    Snow

    by
    February 22, 2015. The City has basically given up trying to help us with our snow. The sidewalk behind Andrea has been completely shoveled by hand. Our driveway, meanwhile, is about ten feet longer than usual, representing the snow pile on the road r...

    Good Night

    by
    February 21, 2015. This is pretty much the last thing I see every day; it's my bedstand with my evening decaf. The wood is a simple shell I built to house my CPAP. I put my glasses and laptop on top, then I turn off the light. Polysporin for itchy leg...

    February 20, 2015. A messy photo for a messy day. Left Toronto, flew home. Ugly weather on both sides of the trip. From Flickr http://ift.tt/1AtunRm

    Audrey Watters

    by
    February 19, 2015. Audrey Watters delivers her talk on the history of the future of technology at Ryerson University's Change School in Toronto. I had the unenviable task of following up her engaging talk, but I think I held my own. It was nice to see...

    Turbine

    by
    February 17, 2015. Second day of my course at the NRC, which is where this wind turbine is located. You can get a sense of the size by looking at the fence, trees and ladder. It's across the road from M36 where I was and is used for aeronautical resea...
