Let's Make Some Art, Dammit

September 29, 2026. Harvest. We're having some nice weather these days and the harvest is in full force in these parts. This is the scene from my bike ride today just south of town. Other than that I did newsletter work and tried to set up a ChatGPT daily briefing (it blew through my quota in five minutes, so I'm taking a different approach). #SDDaily.

September 26, 2926. Football. Because we have season tickets, we were at this game where the Ottawa RedBlacks stretched their season of futility into an 0-14 record instead of across town watching the Ottawa Titans win the Frontier League championship. I mean, football is fun and all, but you can only hold your head in your hands so many times. #SDDaily. URL: https://ift.tt/LNS1ePK

September 25, 2026. Baseball. The Titans' Hunter Stokeky strokes an RBI single to right field. We were part of the record-setting crowd of 10,303 watching as the Titans took a 2 games to 1 lead in the Frontier League championship. It was a long fun crazy game. #SDDaily. URL: https://ift.tt/q2ucAo5

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
