    October 8, 2018
    October 8, 2018. I spent the entire day - a holiday! - working on my E-Learning 3.0 course. Here it is , still a work in progress. We also brought in the geraniums this weekend. This one in particular is inside for its second winter. It had a rough sum...

    October 8, 2018
    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-...

    March 30, 2018. Lexi insists on playing with string - "it's always string time" - even at the age of 12 or so. So I make sure to take the time to play with her. The rest of the day I spent writing 'Critical Thinking for Educators'. https://flic.kr/p/25...

    March 22, 2018
    March 21, 2018. This is actually the most unused appliance in the house, as we have both heating and air conditioning, and so don't need a big ceiling fan. But there it is. Today's routine was disrupted by an argument over working conditions - apparent...

    March 20, 2018. I snapped this through the car window while waiting for construction to clear up on the Casselman bridge. It's not much of a photo but I had a pretty busy day today preparing slides and participating in a workshop at the School of Publi...

    March 12, 2018
    March 11, 2018. I finished my blockchain module today and uploaded the code to GitHub. I also wrote a quick article describing what I learned doing this. From where I sit, doing this was much better than any course would have been, and I got an in-dept...

    March 4, 2018
    March 3, 2018. I spent the day working on the harvester. There's not a lot of progress to show for a full day's work, but it looks nicer. I encountered some very tricky problems that turned out to be a lot of fun to solve. Good thing, because some of t...

    February 19, 2018
    February 19, 2018. This is looking across the tracks from the road out front, toward the new subdivision. There are roads and streetlights but no houses yet, which produces this unusual arrangement of lights in the evening misty rain. I spent the day t...

    February 8, 2018
    February 8, 2018. Our local Esso station got a facelift over the last few months and now looks all shiny and new. It's where I go some time to get gas. Like today, for example, on the way home (hence the deep evening light) from an ordinary day in the ...

    January 7, 2017. Another day disrupted by the events of yesterday, though we did have a nice dinner with family this evening. I had to run out for an errand this afternoon and noticed these Tesla charging stations under constriction at the Metro. Nice....

    January 6, 2018
    January 3, 2017. This was my regularly scheduled hygene appointment, but with an added bonus: I got to tell them how I'd broken a tooth over the weekend. Other than dentistry - some coding, some meetings. Still bitterly cold. http://ift.tt/2AB7MGL

    December 27, 2017. Quiet day today. Did some coding on the gRSShopper editor. Why? Becuse it's fun. This is a weed I can see from the bathroom window. I've watched this weed grow up, flower and die in the snow. Circle of life. http://ift.tt/2pOrQWk

    December 26, 2017. Beside my bed. Some cold medicine, because I'm still under the weather. Green gel for dry skin. Tim's mug for evening decaf. Light. Wood stand contains my CPap. Not shown is my mobile phone charger. http://ift.tt/2E2sLp9

    November 20, 2017. The time changed while I was flying back from China with the result that now i see the sunrise when I get up in the morning (it's also dark when I drive home). Easy Monday; got a bunch of newsletter bounces cleared off the books, cau...
