Let's Make Some Art, Dammit

February 18, 2026. Back Road. This is a scene from the Navan Road on my way home from the office. I took the back roads home today because I didn't feel like driving on the highway. It's too stressful and I don't get to enjoy actually living in the country. #SDDaily. URL: https://ift.tt/xOi3EoS

February 17, 2025. Bird Feeder. Another day spent working in the home office; this is the bird feeder as seen through the window. It's not a great photo but when I have an office day like this I'm luck to get any photo. #SDDaily. URL: https://ift.tt/2sZpq5t

February 16, 2026. Lights. This is a detail of the bright light I use sometimes in my office to ward off seasonal affective disorder. I need light, as bright as possible, to thrive. Winter is hard on me. I can't wait for spring. #SDDaily. URL: https://ift.tt/M7R9aDO

February 15, 2026. Branches. Yesterday I spent coding indoors all day, so no photo. Today we got out for a hike in Warwick Forest, but there has been a lot of damage caused by loggers (including an entire adjacent forest clearcut to the ground). That made me sad; I can at least understand selecting logging, even if I don't like it, but wiping out a forest just seems barbaric. #SDDaily. URL: https://ift.tt/mLTI8Sf

February 13, 2026. Clarke. Another day in the office today. I consider the office days as lost days because I can't work on anything significant, so I focus mostly on writing posts. #SDDaily. URL: https://ift.tt/p3Xm2CL

February 12, 2026. Costco. Drove into the office today and realized I had left my badge and passkey at home. That's what happens when my routine changes, as it did yesterday. So I went to Costco and then worked from home. Commuting once per day to work in the office is more than enough; I'm definitely not doing it twice. #SDDaily. URL: https://ift.tt/R7YZKDF

February 9, 2026. Forest. I'm showing a photo from the walk because I like it so much. And also I spent the full day indoors working (except for the five minutes I took feeding the birds). #SDDaily. URL: https://ift.tt/AoL7u0d

February 8, 2026. Bonus daily photo. A woodpecker in the trees, contemplating the universe. -20 weather (-33 with the wind chill) but in a brilliant bright sun. https://flic.kr/p/2rVGCsD February 08, 2026 at 08:04AM

February 8, 2026. Snowshoeing in -20 weather (-33 with the wind chill) but in a brilliant bright sun. I'm pretty happy with the way I was able to focus on Andrea between the trees. https://flic.kr/p/2rVHYK3 February 08, 2026 at 08:56AM

February 3, 2026. The view from below. Scene in my back yard. Another day spent looking at VS Code. Getting closer. #SDDaily. URL: https://ift.tt/A48GlbV

February 2, 2026. Coding. This is how I spent the day today, staring at VS Code as I migrate my website. Even more importantly, I'm really getting a feel for how ChatGPT does things. It's so good sometimes (and essential for me to navigate AWS or Git) and so bad at others (it is especially forgetful at times). #SDDaily. URL: https://ift.tt/AO5CmD7

February 1, 2026. It was freezing outside today but we wore many layers and had a nice and relatively warm time wandering around Winterlude 2026 in Ottawa https://flic.kr/p/2rUEzeM February 01, 2026 at 08:59AM

January 31, 2026. Borb. Another day with very cold temperatures and this morning dove is all fluffed up to escape the cold. I escaped the cold by working inside. Still transferring my site to a new VPS. Also finished the last of my Iceland photos. Yay! #SDDaily. URL: https://ift.tt/FH95UWX
