    Dogwood

    by
    October 19, 2020. I saw this dogwood by the deck in the back just glistening in the rain and had to make it today's photo. This morning I did a seminar on personal learning and through the afternoon I did newsletter posts and reading for data literacy....

    Mer Bleue Squirrel

    by
    October 18, 2020. We went for a walk in Mer Bleue today, about 8 km, on a cool cloudy day. It's late fall now, but there's still a lot of life in the forest. https://flic.kr/p/2jWQKrd

    Corn

    by
    October 17, 2020. I was able to get out for a 60 km bike ride today to Russell and back, and visited family along the way for an hour and a half or so (all is well with them I'm happy to say). This is dried corn intended (I believe) for cattle feed; ye...

    Cat Couch

    by
    October 16, 2020. We picked up a cat couch at the store yesterday and they took to it instantly. At any given time now, there will be one cat or another in the cat couch. Today was another data literacy day - I'm making good progress, I've identified s...

    Parking Lot

    by
    October 15, 2020. I know my life may appear glamorous in my social media photos, but sometimes it's ordinary, as in the case of noon today when we drove into town to get some groceries. Still deep into researching data literacy literature. https://flic...

    Bread

    by
    October 10, 2020. This is a loaf of Andrea's bread. I can't overstate how good it is to have home-baked bread in the house. Today was a quiet indoor day spent puttering around with Angular and other web frameworks and creating OLDaily posts. https://fl...

    Blog Post #4: Arkangel Response

    by
    The episode of Black Mirror entitled “Arkangel” is simultaneously of the most interesting and of the most terrifying pieces of near future science-fiction I have ever seen. For those of you who have not seen this episode, the plot involves an overprotective mother installing her daughter with an experimental software known as Arkangel. This software …

    Soybeans and River

    by
    October 9, 2020. This is a soybean field by the side of the nation river, seen during a short bike ride after work. Today was another day filled with work on data literacy; I'm getting a pretty good sense of the development of the concept over the last...

    Nation River

    by
    October 8, 2020. It was too bright and too windy to frame this photo, so I just fired off a bunch of shots and hoped for the best. I took it on a short but cold bike ride after work. Today was a day of back-to-back-to-back Zoom meetings, plus a good do...

    The View from my Office

    by
    October 7, 2020. I was just wrapping up a very productive day in my home office working on data literacy when I looked out the window and happened to see a brilliant (but very short-lived) rainbow. https://flic.kr/p/2jQGdAx

    Blog Post #3

    by
    There are many benefits that come with living in a country that functions as a democracy. As citizens of a democracy, we have the right to vote in every election, deciding our own leaders and representatives. These leaders and representatives are also usually not in office for life, rotating on a regular basis. We also …

    Wasp

    by
    October 5, 2020. Andrea came in today to say the wasps were swarming on the goldenrod by the back deck. Definitely worth a photo! Had a couple of meetings today, documented my week-end work, and cleaned my desk of accumulated clutter from several month...

    4 Cube Cat

    by
    October 3, 2020. The cats survived our short trip away just fine, as I knew they would. This is Charlemagne (notice his right eye was permanently damaged by his infection before his rescue). Quiet day in today messing around with code. If pressed I cou...

    Son of Bones

    by
    October 4, 2020. This year I'm relatively early with the Hallowe'en decorations. This is the third year for Son of Bones. Another quiet day in today, messing around with more code (and could also be called a work day if pressed). https://flic.kr/p/2jPU...

    from my book Magnetic – Again, just a girl! Anna had decided to take Fritz’s offer and had been working with the agency in Germany for a few months now. It was the first week in April when she was waiting for someone to pick her up to join a concert. A legendary Jazz band… Continue reading Chapter 4 – April showers

    The problem with communities… a consideration of alternatives

    by
    Why do I explore ideas like being, belonging and becoming in relation to networks, but I hardly talk about communities any more? In this post I will look at why networks and affinity spaces more than communities have come to … Continue reading ?

    Brebuf

    by
    October 2, 2020. We drove home from our short Tremblant vacation today. This is the scene at the village of Brebuf, just a few kilometers in from the resort. It's hard not to have a visceral response to the beauty. https://flic.kr/p/2jNtb4c

    Mont Tremblant

    by
    October 1, 2020. I went for a bike ride this afternoon and the weather alternated between rain and sunshine. A little cool, but as you can see from the photo it was also quite beautiful. https://flic.kr/p/2jNe8L8

    Ridgeline

    by
    September 30, 2020. We took the gondola to the top of Mont Tremblant and went for a hike inside a cloud along the Summit Trail,a winding path along the ridgeline that has the appeal of (as Andrea said) being uphill in both directions. Maybe, but it was...

    White-Tailed Deer

    by
    September 30, 2020. We are at Mont Tremblant to take in the fall colours and the mountain wildlife. This was one of a small herd of three deer having dinner on one of the slopes near the village. https://flic.kr/p/2jMLSyA
