    January 23, 2019. Working from the home office today allowed me to miss the snowstorm, pamper my sore throat, and actually get some stuff done - I got a contribution for a book written, and watched Tim Bouma's presentation on identity. https://flic.kr/...

    January 22, 2019. I went into the office today and while I got some work done my throat bothered me quite a bit - the offices are very dry this time of year. These are Andrea's shirts in our closet. https://flic.kr/p/QCArHT

    January 22, 2019
    January 20, 2019. This is a frozen rose bush as seen from the bathroom window. The snow continued through the day along with brutally cold temperatures. I amused myself by building a GitHub-based website in Node (which was really an exercise in Node ro...

    January 5, 2019. Spent the Saturday working on an Electron RSS reader. Again, the code on the Udemy course was corrupted. I recreated it, but something doesn't work. Bleah. These are the geraniums in the kitchen, still surviving. https://flic.kr/p/2e1a...

    January 7, 2019
    January 4, 2019. I'm still in deep focus mode studying Electron for the holidays. So the only photo for today is this one of the tile on the bathroom floor. I've spent enough time studying it, surely it deserves inclusion in the photo album. https://fl...

    January 7, 2019
    December 3. I bought this lithograph by Roy Henry Vickers at an art shop in Metrotown in 1990 when I was in Vancouver - yes, it is the same trip when I attended the Connectivism conference. I also attended a CFS conference that week, stayed in New West...

    December 26, 2018
    December 23, 2018. We discovered today that it is impossible to find a car to rent on Christmas Eve. So we'll be spending the next couple of days at home. This is the Mark Stone t-shirt that was a giveaway at the Senators game we attended. It was good ...

    December 26, 2018
    December 24, 2018. I'm the sort of person who gets really immersed in what I am doing and forget to do other things. That's been the case with my E-Learning 3.0 course, which completely captured my imagination, and while I was (mostly) taking my photos...

    December 13, 2018
    December 11, 2018. This is a view from No Man's Sky, a game I'm still playing several years after it came out. Those who panned it on its first release would eb astonished to see how it has grown. I find it a really relaxing way to spend an hour or so ...

    December 7, 2018
    December 5, 2018. This was extra food, after supper, because I was extra-hungry. Spent the day working on aspects of the course, including an interview with Pete Forsyth. Right now I'm trying to make the harvest-read-post workflow more efficient, in or...

    December 6, 2018
    December 4, 2018. This is some street art I bought while in Toronto last month. The sheen is from the covering. Today was one of those days where I wasn't very productive - dabbled with some code, did a but of writing, got the module on community start...

    December 2, 2018. I spent my Sunday writing a detailed article on the Badgr API. It might not have been the most useful article I've ever written, but it was a lot of fun to work though and write. The result is that I didn't have time for anything else...

    December 3, 2018
    November 30, 2018. I went downstairs for my morning shower, walked through the bathroom door, and saw the neighbour cat staring intently within. No idea why. Sidenote: a perk of living in the country: bathroom windows you don't need to cover up. The da...

    November 26, 2018
    November 25, 2018. I spent the entire day working on my 'Resources' article, which in the end I was pretty pleased with. This left no time even for things like taking photos, so here is a nightstand pic. Coffee cup, reading light, and CPAP machine (bec...

    November 22, 2018
    November 22, 2018. It's dark when I get home at the end of the day, but with the lights on and a full moon in the background the house seems warm and appealing. It's a unique house, with a lot of character. I spent the day working on blockchain stuff a...

    November 9, 2018. This is another one of Andrea's creations, a nice piece of cake, my reward for braving the snow driving home from the office. Spent the day preparing slides for an Intro to Blockchain talk. https://flic.kr/p/2a3cWeG

    November 8, 2018. Back home, working from the home office, getting caught up on email and doing an interview for the course. I meant to do more but got distracted responding to emails for office-related stuff. https://flic.kr/p/P3xBrt

    October 11, 2018
    October 11, 2018. I had a late evening and darkness was falling through the fog on the drive home, but I still managed to take a side road and capture the essence. Fog was also a good metaphor for the day, a day that did not go even remotely as planned...

    October 6, 2018. Today I spent all day - a Saturday! - writing for my upcoming course. I got the bulk of the synopsis text done (this will also be the basis for future work). Now it's taking shape! The year of research is coming together. This is well-...
