Let's Make Some Art, Dammit

April 15, 2024. Something about April showers. Looking east outside the window after my bike ride as the rain goes away. I choose to think of it as the start of spring. Wrote a presentation proposal today, and newsletter stuff. That is all. https://flic.kr/p/2pKH6kv

April 11, 2024. Today started with a meeting first thing in the morning, and this was the centrepiece on the meeting room table. I had a couple more meetings, but then the network began to sag (looks like they were running updates, to judge by my logs) so I went home a bit early. https://flic.kr/p/2pJN5qU

April 12, 2024. This is a souvenir from Australia hanging in my office. The plant in front of it is another from my Moncton office. I bought the artwork in Sydney; it was rolled in a tube. When I got home I got it nicely framed to display it the way it deserved. Work-from-home today, spent mostly on my newsletter and software. https://flic.kr/p/2pJN6Sr

April 9, 2024. The bicycle, photographed during a break on a small country road. We drove home from Bromont this morning, I put in a few hours of work, then I took advantage of the beautiful weather to enjoy a nice ride in the country. https://flic.kr/p/2pJmfTN

April 8, 2024. The eclipse, as seen from Bromont, Quebec. With cloud coming in from the west we got up early and drove out to Bromont. They had set up a hill in a park for viewing and conditions were nearly perfect. The photo doesn't do it justice; it was at once smaller and larger than I thought it would be. It was warm, then cold. Near the end of totality it was like the horizon was on fire. Magnificant. https://flic.kr/p/2pJjLBh

April 5, 2024. Grackles and starlings sitting in the top of a tree in the back yard waiting, as we all are, for spring. Woke up very early this morning for one meeting, then had a presentation to do for a second. Meanwhile trying to get the crust off my various websites. Long day. https://flic.kr/p/2pHGGiq
