Let's Make Some Art, Dammit

March 17, 2026. Ricola. A work-at-home day, some writing and some coding. This is a late-day photo at the bedside. #SDDaily. URL: https://ift.tt/ivP9NXn

March 16, 2026. Looking up. This is the light as seen from the dentist's chair. It was one last detail from my trip to Iceland last summer - getting a crown on the tooth I broke in the eastern fjords. Hard to believe I'm going back, but I will be. This time, though, with fewer knee injuries, lost passports, illnesses and broken teeth. #SDDaily. URL: https://ift.tt/DIaHw9t

March 15, 2026. Fallen. We went for our snowshoe this week in Pine Grove forest again. There were no birds, squirrels, anything - everything is waiting for spring. More trees down after the recent ice storm. https://flic.kr/p/2s2wei9 March 15, 2026 at 08:55AM

March 14, 2026. Snow on a Saturday. Some abstract snow and weeds in the back yard. Working hard to get everything set up in my VPS before I retire. #SDDaily. URL: https://ift.tt/zYc1HgR

March 13, 2026. Repairing the bridge. This work on the main bridge in Casselman is long overdue. It has always been a crumbling rumble strip, a real pain on a bicycle. Work will continue all summer, with traffic reduced to a one-lane flow. #SDDaily. URL: https://ift.tt/97Zuv2z

March 11, 2026. Freezing Rain. This is what it looked like out the window today as freezing Rain shut everything down. It was good for me though as I took the full day to migrate my newsletter from Mailgun to Amazon SES. Claude helped a lot; it would have taken me a full week to work my way through Amazon's Byzantine interface (and to make signature validation work in Perl). #SDDaily. URL: https://ift.tt/saOxfhI

March 10, 2026. The tile on the basement floor. Good day today, got lots done - a fully automated backup system and a proper access logging system for the VPS, plus archiving all my CPanel sites. #SDDaily. URL: https://ift.tt/8B7WTfM

March 9, 2026. Sky and tree. Worked from home today; this scene is from the Independent in Embrun where we went over lunch to get some Scotch Bonnet peppers for my curry. It was a good day today; I'm feeling more right with the world, after what has been a lot of disruption. #SDDaily. URL: https://ift.tt/MvjFQ3V

March 8, 2026. Wall. We went to Tanger Outlet today, where I photographed this wall. I also bought a new rainproof jacket for Iceland. I'm going to be better equipped and better prepared for what I'm facing there this time. #SDDaily. URL: https://ift.tt/8Oc5dno

March 7, 2026. Fake moon. A photo taken from my home office window. The 'moon' is the reflection from my giant LED light bulb. I thought I would be productive today, but I wasn't really. Mostly I just watched videos. I started a new med this week so everything is a bit... off. Nothing serious but the delicate balance of energy and motivation that keeps me productive was disrupted. Waiting for spring, still. #SDDaily. URL: https://ift.tt/ZrTWatO

March 6, 2026. Easter bunnies. I can only stare at these 4.2 kg chocolate bunnies in Costco. Today I worked in the office, mostly pruning and fixing my RSS feeds. Not a lot of energy. Waiting for spring. #SDDaily. URL: https://ift.tt/cpoxOKf

March 5, 2026. Tree and red shed. Worked at home, keeping up with reading, a little coding. Waiting for spring. Under the weather, started on Wegovy yesterday. #SDDaily. URL: https://ift.tt/l61fMig

March 3, 2026. Sunset from the Car. Finally got all my pension paperwork sent off. It's an odd juxtaposition - living in a world where AI can create applications from scratch, and fighting with printers so I can send stuff that MUST be in paper to the government. Another meeting today, counting them down by the day. Deleted all the recurring meetings from my calendar. #SDDaily. URL: https://ift.tt/sZrRObe

March 2, 2026. Sunset through the front door. Working from the home office today, most on newsletter posts and organizing my website content. Did an interview in the morning. #SDDaily. URL: https://ift.tt/uHyxCIi

March 1, 2026. It was a bit cold today but we went for a snowshoe in Pine Grove Forest. Just at the end of the walk a couple of nuthatches made their presence known. It was a very bright day, but with a chilly wind. https://flic.kr/p/2rZ7gLb March 1, 2026 at 10:06AM
