Harvest
October 19, 2024. Went out for a short bike ride today on a beautiful fall day. This is the local harvest, locally called 'cow corn'. As cattle feed, it supports the eastern Ontario dairy industry. Watching the football game as I upload this; it is no... -
Bird on a Rope with a Seed
October 18, 2024. On the way home from Mont Tremblant we stopped to see the Sentir des cimes, a skywalk and forest tower. The season was perfect with brightly coloured leaves and nice fall weather. Along the way there were birds, and this was one. htt... -
Mont Tremblant
October 17, 2024. Hiking near the top of Mont Tremblant. My foot won't allow me to climb it or descend, but I did manage 100 meters of ascent. https://flic.kr/p/2qoo2Lp -
Your Ego Is Lying to You
October 13, 2024. Stairway to an abandoned building on Rue Bleury in Montreal. We're here for the football game tomorrow (go RedBlacks!) and are driving up to Tremblant for a short vacation right after. I've missed maybe a month of daily photos but wh... -
Teeth
September 17, 2024. My teeth, up close. Started today productively, meeting and work, but then was at the dentist to get a post for a dental implant. Took a couple tries (ack) but I survived. https://flic.kr/p/2qh5Yuz -
Char
September 16, 2024. Found Charlemagne sleeping on the rug this morning. Good productive day working from home. https://flic.kr/p/2qh1i1t -
Bee
September 15, 2024. We walked the Stonebridge Trail today along the Jock River, north of Manotick. Beautiful warm day. https://flic.kr/p/2qgDKhV -
Railway
September 14, 2024. Long bike ride today; this was right near the end, in evening. Visited both Dunvegan and Maxville. So warm! https://flic.kr/p/2qgCjQo -
Russell Trail
September 13, 2024. Friday. Beautiful warm day, so after a productive day coding I went for a bike ride. Must keep descriptions short or IFTTT fails. https://flic.kr/p/2qgErwj -
Tree Trunk
September 11, 2024. The moss-covered apple tree trunk outside my office building in the city. It was the first of three office days this week, a result of the uninformed and arbitrary decision made to reduce work-from-home. Traffic was awful and waste... -
Serving Suggestion
September 10, 2024. Here's a serving of my curry with green onions and, buried under the spicy goodness, a portion of Atlantic Canada salmon. So delicious! A second day of working on a Mastodon client from the home office. https://flic.kr/p/2qga7BY -
Spicy Ghost Pepper Curry
September 9, 2024. Each week we get a new batch of vegetables and that prompts me to cook them up as a spicy curry. Here's this weeks' sweet potato and carrot curry. Worked from home today, building a simple Mastodon client. https://flic.kr/p/2qga4BK -
Rogers Pond
September 9, 2024. It was fungus day on our weekly forest walk. We went out to Rogers Pond in Marlborough Forest in rural south-west Ottawa. Very few animals or birds. The light was low and I wasn't really set up for dark fungus pics. Evening was spen... -
Argos
September 7, 2024. The RedBlacks played the Argos this afternoon. A rare day game, it could have been fantastic, but is was cold and poured rain for pretty much the entire game. Nice to see a convincing win, though. Got home, went to sleep right away.... -
Jimmy Carr
September 6, 2024. I wanted to share a photo from the Jimmy Carr and Jim Jeffries show tonight, but all I'm allowed to show is this. The show was great but it would have been nice to have something more to remember it by. The evening followed a great ... -
Parking Lot Rose
September 4, 2024. This rose is found in the parking lot by the Costco where I went for lunch. Office day, which I spent heads-down all day writing 'Why Free Learning Needs Free Artificial Intelligence'. https://flic.kr/p/2qeQt9e -
Gaviscon
September 3, 2024. Another nightstand photo. That's what we get when I have a busy day. Today I wrote a script that allows me to post from OLDaily into BlueSky. Pretty happy about that - in the past, it would have taken me a week. https://flic.kr/p/2q... -
Emerald Forest
September 2, 2024. Went out for a nice 63 km ride today that included a jaunt through this, the Larose Forest (which is in my mind always referred to as the Emerald Forest). Cool with a strong northwest breeze. Watching football this evening. https://... -
South March Highlands
September 1, 2024. We went for our weekly hike to South March highlands in Ottawa's west end today. It was a bit cool and a bit breezy, but nice after the earlier rains. Here's the full album https://flic.kr/p/2qdFdgZ -
Night Light
August 31, 2024. The light on my bedstand, the last light I turn off every day. Rainy day today, but I finished something I've been working evenings and weekends on for most of the summer, a set of five articles to join a sixth I wrote in the spring. ... -
Vitamins for Her
August 30, 2024. The selection of Centrum vitamins for women at the Gloucester Costco . I was searching for Centrum Caltrate, not realizing that these are two separate products. A work-in-office day today, and therefore not that productive, though I d... -
Corn and Country
August 29, 2024. Photo from my afternoon bike ride after work. Much more productive day today, got quite a bit of writing done, a couple of forms filled out, and my proper allotment of exercise. https://flic.kr/p/2qdcXCB -
Floor
August 28, 2024. The flow in the basement. With my feet. No meetings today. I tried to get some work done but wasn't very productive. I did however make a nice curry for supper. https://flic.kr/p/2qdbE67 -
Harvest
August 8, 2024. A combine takes some grain off a field as seen from a distance south of St. Albert on another bike ride after work today. No meetings; just the newsletter and some writing (it's slow going) today. https://flic.kr/p/2qcktrF -
Ottawa Pride
August 25, 2024. We went to the Pride parade in the city today. It was a shorter parade than usual but the crowd was as large as ever. We always attend but made a special point of it this year. https://flic.kr/p/2qc6JCF -
Football
August 24, 2024. The opening kickoff of tonight's RedBlacks game, a hard fought and very entertaining win over the BC Lions. Football in Ottawa is fun again! Also did some writing this morning and got out for a bike ride this afternoon. https://flic.k... -
St. Albert
August 23, 2024. The view from my bicycle entering St. Albert from the rest. The bridge crosses the Nation River. Started the day with a meeting, then filling in a spreadsheet for management, and some writing, with a late afternoon bike ride. https://... -
Architecture
August 22, 2024. This is the wall of the Metro here in Casselman down by the highway. To me, it paints a picture of a society that has given up. No effort has been made to make it attractive or even not ugly. What really caught my eye was that there w... -
Flasks
August 21, 2024. Coffee mugs and flasks on sale at the Starbucks near my office (by 'near' I mean 1.2 km - the NRC campus is a food and services desert). Longish day today with a thorough Research Ethics Board meeting in the afternoon. Since our force...
