    August 8, 2024. A combine takes some grain off a field as seen from a distance south of St. Albert on another bike ride after work today. No meetings; just the newsletter and some writing (it's slow going) today. https://flic.kr/p/2qcktrF

    August 25, 2024. We went to the Pride parade in the city today. It was a shorter parade than usual but the crowd was as large as ever. We always attend but made a special point of it this year. https://flic.kr/p/2qc6JCF

    August 24, 2024. The opening kickoff of tonight's RedBlacks game, a hard fought and very entertaining win over the BC Lions. Football in Ottawa is fun again! Also did some writing this morning and got out for a bike ride this afternoon. https://flic.k...

    August 23, 2024. The view from my bicycle entering St. Albert from the rest. The bridge crosses the Nation River. Started the day with a meeting, then filling in a spreadsheet for management, and some writing, with a late afternoon bike ride. https://...

    August 22, 2024. This is the wall of the Metro here in Casselman down by the highway. To me, it paints a picture of a society that has given up. No effort has been made to make it attractive or even not ugly. What really caught my eye was that there w...

    August 21, 2024
    August 21, 2024. Coffee mugs and flasks on sale at the Starbucks near my office (by 'near' I mean 1.2 km - the NRC campus is a food and services desert). Longish day today with a thorough Research Ethics Board meeting in the afternoon. Since our force...

    August 20, 2024. Taken in the evening in low light using the long lens from in side my home office. I've been a bit off all day, maybe have a bit of a bug, or just didn't sleep right. Experimenting auto-posting this to Mastodon. I hope they appreciate...

    August 12, 2024. First day back in the office since before my bike ride and this is what I found. You may recall back in June I found a potato left on my desk had sprouted. I put it into some water and then in mid-July put it into some dirt. I gave it...

    August 11, 2024. The walking trail at Lavigne Natural Park near Bourget, where we tried to take our weekly hike today. The weather wasn't great and the trail conditions even worse so we called it after only half a kilometer or so. Nice pictures though...

    August 19, 2024
    August 9, 2024. A new Tim Hortons mug I bought on the Quebec trip to get my bike. The traditional Tim's mug has all but disappeared, so I was glad to find this. That's a CFL game on the screen in the background - I like the way they have one game a ni...

    August 19, 2024
    August 8, 2024. The RedBlacks make their entrance into tonight's football game. It was a game not to be missed, as it went into overtime, we thought we won it, then we thought we lost it, and as we were on the way out the teams returned to play some m...

    August 7, 2024. The view from the biking trail near La Pocatière. We picked up my bike in Rimouski and on the way back scanned the entire roite between La Pocatière and Kamourasks looking for my tent poles, including a segment that has to be covered b...

    August 5, 2024. This was taken at 1:30 a.m. as I sat waiting for my train in Rimouski, which would ultimately be an hour late. The plan was to leave it locked there at the train station and drive back and pick it up in a couple days. https://flic.kr/p...

    It was so great to literally and figuratively reconnect with DS106RADIO via the DS106RADIO Summer Camp 2024. I dusted-off LadioCast and after some correspondence with Reclaim HQ to get an update on the server settings and ready myself for camp, I was back online and broadcasting my Summer Camp DJ set the mighty https://listen.ds106rad.io/ which […]

    August 9, 2024
    I submitted the prompt for this morning’s DS106 Daily Create, about exploring a visual search engine of Public Domain artwork. I created the art image above, which I like for its textural oddness, by first searching for “trombone” (believe it or not) in the search site (called Public Domain), and discovering a strange image of […]
