Unsupervised Design

  • It’s challenging to capture the holiday spirit when it’s 15 degrees and rainy. I could really go for some snow! ❄️

  • Nova Scotia is bordering on having to bring in more extreme COVID restrictions again as we have recorded more than a dozen cases recently.
    Thankfully I am noticing an uptick in mask use and people following rules again which gives me hope.

  • The next four days are the typical maritime winter delay, alternating shorts & flip flops one day and having to put a sweater on the dog the next.

  • I look at my calendar and see nine consecutive meetings and my focus started to fade immediately. At least it is Friday!

  • As news of community and school spread increases here in Nova Scotia I have been thinking about the potential for another lock down period.
    I definitely have developed a strong dependence on the dogs. Without them I would definitely go stir crazy.

  • Tuesday night baking adventure!

  • Now that the sun is going down so much earlier I am trying to train myself to stop working earlier and walk the dogs while it’s still light out.

  • Photos offered up this memory today and it was perfect for today’s prompt.

  • Today we had a symmetric gigabit internet connection installed giving us far more up speed at home.
    Jumping from 10Mbps to 1Gbps is exciting because it means we don’t have to worry about Zoom bandwidth and as a bonus I can also reliably run my own VPN

  • I guess I know what I’m doing tonight.

  • Took advantage of the summer like weather this afternoon to appreciate the woods with Hugo and Luna

  • It is a puzzling feeling to not be rooting against Philly for once.
    The sooner this election is over and the NHL returns, the sooner balance will be restored 🏒🐧

  • The snow was a surprise but it made for a beautiful sunset

  • One of the major perks of working from home full time is that I don’t have to deal with the chaos that is Halifax drivers having completely forgotten how to drive in the snow.
    However I hadn’t anticipated the negative impact it might have on beer deliveries! 🍻

  • I definitely didn’t have first snow fall on my bingo card for today

  • I am always astonished by how applying some artificial constraints to my regular work routine always leads to a surge in creativity. I am feeling pretty jazzed about work potential today.

  • There is something about zoom meetings that really kills my ability to concentrate. The meeting itself will be very productive but when I hang up my brain is absolute mush.

  • Over the last five and a half years of wearing an Apple Watch I have developed a bit of a watch strap “problem”. It appears that at some point I got a breeding pair.
    Thankfully I have a friend with a 3D printer to help solve my storage problem.
