    December 3, 2020. I went for a walk while waiting for Andrea in the Costco and encountered these training buses en formation. Today I learned a bit more about quantum algorithms, added conditional formatting to gRSShopper, and did a little writing. htt...

    by
    December 1, 2020. I got out for a very brief walk today to photograph these wooden reindeer on the neighbour's front lawn. The rest of the day, it rained. I did a short talk on data repositories and equity during a meeting this morning and attended an ...

    The Morning Crowd at the Bird Feeder

    by
    November 30, 2020. Now that there's snow on the ground and the grackles have left, the backyard bird feeder is back in business and is attracting a steady trade of sparrows and chickadees. On today's mainly rainy day I spent the build on my time workin...

    Conroy Pits

    by
    November 29, 2020. Most of our 14 km walk today was en route to and from the Conroy pits. When we got there we discovered that it's a very large off-leash dog park (which was no problem at all). The trail was snow-packed so it was a bit harder to walk ...

    Chapter One – FIRST DAYS IN LONDON

    by
    from the book Blossom Hill – a London lovestory Mia had just left the shuttle at Folkestone after passing through the Euro-Channel from Calais and traveling the fifty-mile route through the world’s longest underwater channel by train with her car—thirty-seven miles undersea in just thirty minutes. She was excited. North London University had offered her… Continue reading Chapter One – FIRST DAYS IN LONDON

    Conjoined Twins

    by
    November 28, 2020. These may be more common that I expect, but it's the first pair of conjoined mushrooms I've seen (and I used to work as a mushroom picker). Today was a work day, despite it being Saturday, first to give a talk online, then to check e...

    Green and Brown

    by
    November 27, 2020. I'm not exactly sure what this plant is but I like the contrast of the green and brown colouring on the snow. I've been preparing presentations recently; this afternoon I recorded one that will be presented next week. https://flic.kr...

    Back of the Kiosk

    by
    November 26, 2020. While waiting at the Costco I took a walk around the parking lot to stretch my legs. I found this, a very well tended back of the kiosk at the Costco gas station. https://flic.kr/p/2kbw8rU

    Snow

    by
    November 25, 2020. This is what greeted me out the front window this morning. It continued for several hours. No matter - I spent the day indoors attending several meetings, worked my way though a bit of a dispute, and outlined my slides for a presenta...

    Breakfast

    by
    November 24, 2020. This is what I had for breakfast today and have every day - oatmeal plus fruit and (not pictured) maple syrup. Spoon is on the left had side for lighting, not because I'm left handed (I'm not). I spent the better part of the day toda...

    Cat Prints

    by
    November 23, 2020. We woke up to snow on the ground - and in our case, a single set of cat prints on the deck underneath the bird feeder (now full of seeds again now that the grackles have departed). I did some work on data literacy, continued to trans...

    Cat on a Bag

    by
    November 21, 2020. This is a view of a cat on a bag, looking straight down. It is, of course, Charlemagne. The bag contained a pair of shoes I bought Saturday. Sunday, with snow in the offing and having already been out, we played it safe and stayed in...

    Colorado Vlog

    by
    A few weekends ago I visited Colorado with my two high school best friends. Ali had just gotten engaged, so of course we all needed to be together to celebrate! Ali currently lives just outside Denver, Colorado, while Sarah is in Tahoe and I reside in Santa Barbara. So it was nice that we could […]

    What Can You Do About Digital Surveillance? At least make [#ds106] art

    by
    I don’t need to spend paragraphs explaining the state of digital surveillance most of us have become resigned to here in 2020. I turn that over to the twitter stream of Chris Gilliard (where you do get the occasional reprieve of a pupdate). A thing that gives me some small solace is making digital art, […]

    The Diefenbunker

    by
    November 20, 2020. This is my brother Bill and family. We went to what may be the world's largest escape room, a full level of the Diefenbunker, a bomb shelter created for the Canadian government during the cold war. It was quite well set up, my first ...

    Zero

    by
    November 17, 2020. Another cool motorcycle picture (it's not a trend, I promise), this of a Zero motorcycle we happened to see on the back of a truck. I had my first meeting of NRC's Research Ethics Board today, which was interesting on a number of lev...

    Charlemagne on the Cathouse

    by
    November 19, 2020. Yes I know, it's another cat photo, but there's no way I could really resist taking and sharing this one. Dig his huge polydactyl paws. Did some reading on quantum algorithms today, as well as a couple of meetings on projects. Also c...
