Let's Make Some Art, Dammit

March 27, 2016. We had dinner with the family this evening at a local restaurant, but I forgot to take a photo, so the photo of the day is from the first local bike ride of the season, a 27 km jaunt doing a loop to St. Albert and back. There were thousands and thousands of geese on the river. It was a beautiful sight. Accomplishments for today: - wrote 'Types and Tokens' From Flickr http://ift.tt/1oftPwp

March 26, 2016. This is a scene from the Home and Garden show at the EY Centre in Ottawa, where we spent several hours this afternoon. I bought some hot sauce and looked at things like garage accessories and deck refinishing, while Andrea bought beeswax boot leather polish and looked at paint and such.

March 25, 2016. I bought a new chair for my office ('the Executive', from Costco) and Alex has laid claim to it. Now he looks like he's lived on that chair forever. Accomplishments: - new chair - posted Good Friday hangout video - posted article 'Emergence/Recognition' From Flickr http://ift.tt/1pRujKZ

March 24, 2016. One thing I enjoy about working with NRC is that I never know what to expect. Case in point: this little enterprise set up on the first floor I spotted as I went to a business strategy meeting (yes, another five meeting day). Accomplishments: - recorded a nice video on the thinking behind thye LPSS concept and architecture From Flickr http://ift.tt/1VOS6aa

March 23, 2016. It's very pretty as seen from my home office windoww, but it's not what I wanted to see this morning. Today is no-meetings Wednesday, so I had five meetings. Accomplishments: - some backlog grooming done - interview with the Conference Board of Canada From Flickr http://ift.tt/1VOS3Ls

I hads a meeting in Ottawa today right mear this fine building, the St. John the Baptist Ukrainian Catholic National Shrine. Back at it today, no real accomplishments but wall-to-wall meetings, all productive. From Flickr http://ift.tt/25m7m2w

March 21, 2016. Last morning in San Diego. Just before leaving for my flight I spotted Boaty McBoatface cruising through the harbour and held my phone outside the 24th floor window to take a clear shot. Probably not the wisest thing I've ever done, but it worked. P.S. Avoid Air Canada Rouge if you can. Little tiny seats smaller than I am. From Flickr http://ift.tt/25m7kaX
