    Downey Woodpecker

    by
    January 14, 2022. With the heavy snowfall the birds are flocking to the feeders, which is nice. Another day spent working on node.js in Docker running SSL, again with some limited success. But all this is a lot harder than it should be. https://flic.kr...

    Snow Day Part 2

    by
    January 13, 2022. This is our house. Today was another day of snowstorm. I went for a 2 km walk in 6 inches of snow in the roads; no cars, so it was nice. I focused mostly on trying to get a node.js application work in SSL, with limited success. But I ...

    Snow Day

    by
    January 12, 2023. The snow hit today, prompting notifications from the office. I wonder, if the office is closed for snow on a designated 'office' day, what does that mean. Do I just not work, the way I could before I set up my home office? Are there m...

    Nook

    by
    January 11, 2023. I have been redesigning the office to make it brighter. Naturally the plants now go by the window. And Julia discovered there's just enough room for a cat to enjoy the warm air vent in the space under the palm. It's her new favourite ...

    Emma Rolling

    by
    January 9, 2023. This is Emma every evening as she comes upstairs with me and rolls around on the bed in anticipation of some attention. If I'm late, I hear about it - when you live with four cats, everything is regimented. She also makes he start work...

    Construction Landscape

    by
    January 3, 2023. I'm back to taking my daily walks over lunch and what struck me this time is how much the new housing development a few blocks away looks like a dystopian landscape. I'm sure it'll be much better with cookie-cutter houses there instead...

    In an era when digital and immersive technologies surrounding human beings, inclusion, equity, and accessibility become a rising focus to serve and center human in education (Estes et al., 2020; Sulecio de Alvarez & Dickson-Deane, 2018). These can ...

    Stuck Again

    by
    December 30, 2022. Charlemagne is stuck on the ledge again. I know he can jump down; I've seen it. But he far prefers to be stuck and meows until I come down and let him climb on to my shoulder for a lift upstairs. Last newsletter of the year today, al...

    String Games

    by
    December 28, 2022. The cats are overjoyed that we're back, and all the old routines are instantly back in place, including nightly string games. Today was an indoor day, except for a quick trip to restock bird seed. Did some work on instructional strat...

These were… Continue reading New Beginnings

    Kaladar

    by
    December 27, 2022. This is the scene along highway 7 as it passes Kaladar, where we stopped for a quick break on the way home from Barrie. We made it before dark and arrived home to four very annoyed and vocal cats. https://flic.kr/p/2o8aR1H

    Family

    by
    December 26, 2022. We finally made it to my brother's house and visited with them and a collection of relatives. It was a really nice visit. Thanks to Bill and Shirley for the hospitality and everyone else for the smiles and laughter. Until next time. ...

    Between the years

    by
    Pippa arrived at her Belgrave apartment. She knocked at her neighbour’s door. Tess, her neighbour, opened the door. “Oh, Pippa, Merry Christmas, you are back, that’s great!” Tess looked at Pippa but she did not seem very happy. “Hey, how are you? Would you like to come over for a chat and a glass of… Continue reading Between the years

    The Hotel Room

    by
    December 25, 2022. It's late Christmas evening and I realize I haven't taken a photo of the day, so here's the hotel room. We spent most of the day here, with just a quick trip to the Shoppers for storm chips. It was fine, though, a nice quiet day inst...

    because it’s Christmas time – I repost the first Chapter of the book Blend 37 – Pippa Bow Sitting on her flight back to London, Pippa was glad to have kind of survived the family Christmas celebrations, which had turned out to be a more stressful event running from one Christmas party to the next… Continue reading Christmas Day

    More Snow

    by
    December 16, 2022. Winter snows are a bit early this year, and there's no chance of a green Christmas. Sad. We were told of the new policy forcing us to work in the office again starting in March, and I wondered, if it snows that day, does that count a...

    Artificial Deer

    by
    December 15, 2022. This is a Home Depot deer, spotted while I was picking up some new bright lightbulbs. We also went to the car dealership to sign the papers on our new car purchase (the exchange won't be until next week). https://flic.kr/p/2o7yaS8
