Our little robot competed it's mission autonomously for the first time yesterday! Ya the photo is in 3D anaglyph format. The blog post has some flat images. https://corvusspatial.ca/its-alive/

An underappreciated joy of going on vacation next week is that I need to make a list. I love making lists.

Was using two beat up aluminum ski poles around the yard and in the garden for various tasks over the years: stakes for trellis, guides to stop the electric cord on the lawnmower from rubbing on tree trunks... Now they are the main supports for the rear bike […] [Original post on mapstodon.space]

Celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary today!

Cool. Just installed #GhostBSD on my aging laptop. Boots fast, everything seems to work well, I'm connected to my NextCloud instance, have QGIS installed, Really great experience so far.

I wish the link for a #GreenNewDeal petition in the last #NDP email took me to an actual House of Commons petition instead of an NDP webpage asking for my personal information. Here's a petition, sponsored by NDP MP Leah Gazan: https://www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en/Petition/Details?Petition=e-7522

This photo was taken around 12 noon when the thickest blanket of forest fire smoke was blowing through. Note that the white balance was set for a cloudy day and no additional processing for colour saturation, brightness or contrast was done. This represents pretty accurately what it looked like.

Imagine your dream neighbourhood: which destinations are important to you, and what modes would you like to use to get there? Take the Flowers of Proximity survey and join a global dataset envisioning the future! www.flowersofproximity.com #FlowersOfProximity

Index cards, a drawer and your favourite cataloging schema....

Watching the #ndp convention on #cpac I've already voted but getting inspired by all the candidates.

I'm tired of talking heads using the word "tranche."

I just folded a double load of laundry and all the socks matched. Lord take me now.

Love that Matt Dunstone won the #Brier. What would make it even more special is to decline their spot at the World Championship in Utah. Every team from every other country should take a pass on the tournament in the US. #brier #curling

@avilewis I am concerned about your public option for grocery stores. In Thunder Bay a local independent grocer serves both the north and south cores of the city. They may benefit from a cooperative wholesale buying option including local producers. However, public grocery stores in locations […]

Organizing my workflow today so I can watch the Canada - U.S. hockey game this afternoon. Could I write alt-text for dozens of images and maps more efficiently without the game on? Probably. Can I write alt-text with the game in the background? Absolutely! […] [Original post on mapstodon.space]

On the bright side, I have a new chapter for my book "Stupid things I do while making coffee because I haven't had my coffee yet."

I write and delete more toots than I actually post.

Jumping on the Bandcamp Friday Bandwagon with this album: https://hannahgeorgas.bandcamp.com/album/i-d-be-lying-if-i-said-i-didn-t-care

Enjoy the random webcam shots of Lake Superior from @Livelakesuperior For example here's the Sault Ste. Marie area 30 minutes ago (no, you don't need to clear your browser cache): https://mastodon.social/@Livelakesuperior/115950859948130717

Because I realize that most people are not listening to #CBCradioOne while drinking coffee on a Saturday morning (although I have to question your priorities), I thought I would share this little segment (6 min) of "America, What the Hell?" from Day 6 […]

It was really nice to take a couple hours this evening to go through my Bookmarks. I watched a few short videos, purchased a couple albums on Bandcamp, read some great blog posts, downloaded a file to 3D print, subscribed to a new podcast, and decided *not* to respond to a few political posts […]

@cmccullough Too bad everyone needs to follow you again, but I'm sure the move will work out.

#RepairCafe I recently joined our local Repair Café as a volunteer. It's been great so far. We want to submit our repairs to RepairMonitor.org. This repository of repairs seems to require a single login for all the volunteers to share which is not ideal. How does your Repair Café collect and […]

Because I may be one of few actually reading traditional newspapers I thought I would through this out there:

Hey, I just signed up for #MappingUSA2026 and see that a few of my favourite Mastodon people are presenting including: @haraldkliems @watmildon Look forward to seeing you there! For more information about this free and exciting virtual conference check out […]

9 hr bus ride today after leaving the depot 2.5 hrs late due to snow. Never tire of watching the rocks and trees roll by, just wish the windows weren't getting so dirty. No signal along a lot of this highway so it could be hours before this makes it to the interwebs.

Audible can afford to buy ad space while I'm watching curling, so I would like to take this opportunity to promote Libro.fm #librofm has better terms of service, more flexible plans that you can pause any time, and DRM free books that you can add to you your own media library to play on any […]
