September 24, 2026. Award. Here I am in the auditorium at the NRC Sussex Drive building to receive my award along with colleagues on the Research Ethics Board. Disappointed that the chair Gordon DuVal wasn't there. I wonder whether the transition from an academic board or ethics to a much more corporate board (and all that entails) maybe played a role. #SDDaily. URL: https://ift.tt/g7EDeyt

September 23, 2026. St. Albert. The green and white flag represents francophone Ontario; a similar flag waves over Casselman, where I live. This is from my daily bike ride. I also wrote an article in Leftish on the government's new infrastructure bill. #SDDaily. URL: https://ift.tt/YICoKgF

September 22, 2026. Trinkets. The portrait of me was made by a street vendor in Taipei, for free, because he wanted the challenge. I got the Jeff Bannister bobblehead at a Rangers game in Arlington. And the stack is a bunch of Blue Jays batting helmet ice cream dishes from games over the years. #SDDaily. URL: https://ift.tt/FQ3p0lB

September 21, 2026. Crabapples. These are from the tree that is perpetually just clinging to life in our back yard. Today was a rest day, mostly focused on my newsletter. #SDDaily. URL: https://ift.tt/UwXV0mD

September 20, 2026. Fenceline. Today we went out to Marlborough trail at the southern point in what is called Rural West Ottawa. It was a beautiful day and trail conditions were great, though with a surprising number of mosquitos for mid-September. #SDDaily. URL: https://ift.tt/h39vknP

September 19, 2026. River and Butterfly. Another cycling photo, just by the bridge west of Casselman along the Nation River. Normally I do a longer ride Saturday, but not today, just the usual 25 km. Though I did see a route to Lac Philippe that looks tempting. Maybe this week. Anyhow, I started the process of getting off Google Workspace today by moving my email over to Proton. #SDDaily.

September 18, 2026. Corner. I took a bit of a different route today for my bike ride, covering some roads I haven't been to recently. This area is east of Casselman - it's open, it's flat, and it's mostly soybeans. Otherwise, another typical day doing newsletter posts. #SDDaily. URL: https://ift.tt/sQu15ok
