Dead Milkweed

October 26, 2020. The cold has come, the rains have started, and they even had some snow in the city today. I was indoors all day presenting at and attending the ePIC 2020 conference on open recognition. I like doing presentations because they always push my thinking, but they can be a lot of work during a busy time. No complaints, though. https://flic.kr/p/2jZxzuB

Mer Bleue Bog Trail

October 25, 2020. Andrea and I went for a 9 km hike along the Mer Bleue Bog Trail today. It was a crisp 7 degrees but sunny and nice. The trail out was great, but on the way back, well, it was a bog. Still, it was great exercise and good for some beautiful photos. https://flic.kr/p/2jZatqg

Emma on the Rug

October 24, 2020. The expected rains did not materialize but it was still an indoor day for me as I prepared my Open Recognition Networks talk for Monday. This is Emma waiting patiently for food. Or string games. or something. https://flic.kr/p/2jZ1Qbk

St. Lawrence River

October 23, 2020. I could not resist getting out for a ride on what is for sure the last nice day of the year. So it was about 90 km to the St.Lawrence River and back. I also had a nice lunch at Rockin Rhonda's in Avonmore (while taking part in an online meeting). It was beautiful out today; tomorrow, though, will be cold, rainy and a work day. https://flic.kr/p/2jYoQZt

Kitties

October 22, 2020. This is why you don't want to split kitten siblings up. That's (from top down) Julia, Emma and Charlemagne. We bought another cat couch today, though we evidently don't need it. Today I spent working on a talk for next week on open recognition networks. Some good stuff there. Tomorrow looks like the last nice biking day of the year (which will make Saturday (rain and cold) a work day). https://flic.kr/p/2jY52a1

High Falls Conservation Area

Image
October 21, 2020. I took a walk after work down to the river to take a few photos of the High Falls Conservation Area. It's a really nice area and it's only a few minutes to walk. Today was another day focused on data literacy, but I need to begin preparing some talks - I have six (I think) coming in the next four or five weeks. https://flic.kr/p/2jXKiuU
