Crisis management, business continuity, emergency planning, operational resilience by day. Sustainability, politics, environment, technology, fairness, dogs, potato chips by night! Be well; be safe; be kind!
Interesting order of what popped up in my stream: swap out ‘King T’ for poilievre and it will always be too much and not enough!
A little bit here! A little bit there! And soon enough, inflation whacks us all! 15% increase in anything is serious. Must admit that Spotify is making it difficult to keep subscription active. Will artists and content-creators reap similar increase in royalties from this platform ??!! 🤔
Seriously: are #NoahKahan tickets in Toronto really this expensive at face-value…as per #ontario regs?! (See image from StubHub, #PremierFord) Got kiddo that really wants to go! But not falling for this avaristic behavious!
clicking through the provided link you get a much larger list...as I was curious for price of any type pf alcohol. And lo and behold, price for beer is up but not even close to the other food items' increases. Keep the masses' beer well-chilled and cheap, and they will remain wee bit more dopey!
Love the sound of bees at work getting this old crabapple tree pollinated. Turn up the volume…
Who remembers when mobile apps where these small, fast, light apps that did not gobble every last megabytes of storage??!!
I was in awe earlier today as I was driving in this area. Going to do some higher altitude exploration tomorrow. #canada is a massive country. Get out there and explore it…no, live it! Hopefully will remember to take more pics tomorrow rather than let my brain soak it in!
Ah! I keep visualizing the below pic when I think about LRT in #ottawa
Can anyone explain why politicians turn around and wave bye-bye when boarding government plane while still in #canada ? Feels so…hmmm… regal! Same goes when leaving another country (as in pic) as they’ve already shaken hands and exchanged parting pleasantries. Host waves back “Good riddance“ /s
Ever feel like media in #canada does not get it by limiting their reach to hostile platforms? In this case only promoting (assuming reachable) on ‘eff’ and ‘ex’. 🤷♂️
Really??? Are you ready to share your social networks' account passwords with them? Are you thinking of leaving your fantastic phone at home and bringing a burner-phone? Do you have to ensure fealty to Grifter-in-Chief? That is NOT normal security precautions in #canada !
Unexpected WFH benefits: lunch! And wings are not just for game-days!
Geez Louise! Elgin: ❌ Bank: ❌ It was crap! Woman with stroller and infant on Bank near Somerset was clearly not doing well. @arieltroster.com : please tell us that City ain’t waiting til it’s done before they clear to be efficient for City rather than those that live/ use it??!!
Tech is so cool and useful: I can click a link to get real-time status update for a large-appliance delivery. Me: [clicks link] “oh this is useless!” Just shoot me a text instead of wasting my time clicking a link for your stupid useless tracking app!
Really like late day #XCSkiing outings with crisp air and headlamp to light the way like today at #FitzroyPP with West Carleton Nordic (wcnordic.com). Got ~8k in again before stupid freezing rain hits #ottawa and area. Feel good enough to break out the skate skis next in #GatineauPark
It’s-26C with the wind chill and we have Evening Grosbeaks at one of the feeders. Thought for sure that these birds would have migrated…
I submit this image for your critique. This image was taken from a travel related blog / news site. This is AI generated garbage! Worse: there is 0 mention that this site uses #AI for either word or image content. Click on author link: yep admits to AI use but also notes lots of #journalism creds! 🤔
Is Copilot trying to tell me something about myself??!! 🤬 I could go on ... but either it will be too verbose, or unprofessional! 🤣
So #AutoTrader is venturing into the “they suck” territory for me. I need to ask advice for the listing that i made above and used the email address noted in screen cap below. Guess what? That email address “bounces” as i am NOT in their org’s approved senders list! Like WTH!!!
Just came out of Algonquin after 6 nights. How’s the World doing??!!
what energizes and focuses these 2 individuals? which of these 2 individuals would you like to have recognized for their energy and focus? hmmm....🤔
Remember this whopper ahead of this weekend: not sure who Col. Bay is?
