May 28, 2024. View of Montreal from our hotel room at the SENS downtown. Caught the train home this morning. Anyhow, yesterday I attended the wrong conference in the morning, and they asked me to participate as a speaker today, which I did - but from home, over Zoom, because of the train schedule. https://flic.kr/p/2pVz5t7

Wrong Conference

Image
May 27, 2024. This is the opening at the Accessible Canada Accessible World conference here in Montreal. I was in attendance expecting to give a talk a bit later. The talk, however, was for a different conference in the same building. Mistake corrected, I reluctantly left this conference and joined the one on artificial intelligence in education I was supposed to attend. https://flic.kr/p/2pVyuhX

January 23, 2024. The view looking north from the 21st floor of the Queen Elizabeth Hotel looking up College Avenue to McGill University and Mount Royal beyond. It's just before five and the dusk has fallen, but it's not yet night. I spent the day here at a workshop on Mongo database design. It was a great day, the event was a lot of fun, I learned a ton, and the venue was great. Took the train home the same night, driving home from Ottawa because it doesn't stop in Casselman in the evening. https://flic.kr/p/2pubqBH

October 9, 2023. We went to Montreal for the football game today. Our team was thoroughly crushes and all the Montreal fans has a great time. But we went there knowing we were going to lose, so it didn't matter so much, and it was quite a bit of fun. https://flic.kr/p/2p9fqYx

March 27, 2018. I was still basking in the afterglow of the great Vlady Guerrero Jr. home run when I took this shot. We went for a wonderful visit to the Montreal botanical gardens and them watched a tense pitchers' duel between the Blue Jays and the Cardinals that ended on the best possible note. https://flic.kr/p/24vzn1o

Decebember 30, 2016. Montreal. We spent the day there and back, doing some holiday shopping. This is the former Erskine And American United Church on Sherbrooke Street, now a part of the Museum of Fine Arts complex.

August 30, 2016. On my way to Italy. Looking out the window for a photo and couldn't resist the artistry of these baggage carts. From Flickr http://ift.tt/2cfdLsY
