- Que Huong
Dinner late, car failed after 10 hour drive east from Iowa. Pulled off highway in Plymouth County, Michigan, and drove to Clawson on local streets for more than an hour. Will take minivan in for diagnosis tomorrow. Vehicle is 13 years old, may or may not be at end of life. (Que Huong, Madison Heights, Michigan) 20160510 - Automaxx Windsor
Temporary plates installed for a test drive of a 2014 Mazda 5. We said we would drive the 2003 MPV we bought in 2007 until it died. We drove this morning from 14 Mile Road Troy not on freeways down to Detroit at 20-30mph, and through the tunnel back to Windsor. DY still wants a vehicle that will seat 5 to 6 people, so the Mazda 5 is the small alternative to the massive minivan or SUV alternatives. (Automaxx Windsor, Fontainebleau neighbourhood, east Windsor, Ontario) 20160511 - Automaxx Windsor
Diana waves goodbye to the minivan that we've had since 2007, through four sons learning to drive, with dents and scratches from inexperienced drivers. We transferred our suitcases and travel gear from the MPV into a smaller Mazda5, to continue our journey from Iowa east to Toronto. We removed practically everything from the vehicle destined for the scrap yard. The 4.5 hour drive home taught us the difference in visibility on a shorter car, since we've been driving taller minivans since the early 1990s. (Automaxx Windsor, Fontainbleau neighbourhood, east Windsor, Ontario) 20160511 - Shirin Kebab House
Meeting over Turkish pide and veal-lamb doner wrap in casual suburban diner. Ground beef pide is cheeseless recipe, and this is one of three places in the city serving it. Neighbourhood clientele includes toddlers. (Shirin Kebab House, Golden Mile, Scarborough, Ontario) 20160513 - Gerrard Square northeast footpath
Found pedestrian route south of rail tracks, north of parking garage at east end of parking structure. Biking south on Jones Avenue, turned westbound into parking laneway, crossed Galt Avenue to discover shortcut to shopping mall. These laneways have no house entries, so no name. (Gerrard Square northeast footpath, west of Galt Avenue, Riverdale, Ontario) 20160514 - DMZ at Ryerson U.
Meetup @BluemixGarage @RyersonDMZ with @AndrewSafranko presenting on IBM Innovation Incubator in Toronto. As I'm an IBM graduate, I'm not the usual target audience. Casual event to see how the company is changing (and not changed). (DMZ at Ryerson University, Toronto, Ontario) 20160516 - Dinner for systems thinking
Informal gathering, visiting guest anticipating Systems Thinking Ontario tomorrow night. Experimental fish soup with fuzzy melon and enoki mushrooms, then Chinese beef stew with daikon. Conversation shifted to American politics, then organization of system communities. (Riverside neighbourhood, Toronto, Ontario) 20150517 - Systems Thinking Ontario
Judith Rosen describing Anticipatory Systems Theory, being alive as Metabolism and Repair, complexity and the modeling relation, and refreshing on the Aristotelian four causes. Deep thinking covering a lot of territory in less than 2 hours. A return visit when university is in session is called for.

Minimum Viable Platform (not Product), says @caseywest @pivotal @cloudnativefdn road show, should put ensure on Viable, not on Minimum. Earlier cited Gartner projection that by 2020, 75% of application development of digital businesses will be built, not bought. Said Amazon declares releasing changes every 11 seconds, but thinks it could be every second. (Pivotal, Toronto Street, Toronto, Ontario) 20160520 - Pine Hills Cemetery
Lighting hell money and incense on visiting mom's gravesite, adjacent to the annual Lowkong clan convening at the monument. Dad had visited earlier on the anniversary, by himself. Only 3 of us in Toronto this weekend, we all continued on to Mount Pleasant to see both grandparents, afterwards. (Pine Hills Cemetery, Scarborough, Ontario) 20160522 - Open Gallery, OCADU
xFutures reception by @OCADU_SFI master's students, opening day of exhibition of major research projects on display for 2 weeks. Topics of research from design school are interesting. Posters on curved window wall block the view of TTC streetcars turning around on the McCaul Loop cut into the Village by the Grange. (Open Gallery, 49 McCaul Street, OCAD University, Toronto, Ontario) 20160526 - Portland Energy Centre
Inside @PortlandsEnergy @Doors_OpenTO tour, three intake structures take water from the ship channel to the north, at a rate so slow that fish can easily swim away. Water is cleaned and cooled for output to the south that flows past the Cherry Beach swimming area. (Portland Energy Centre, Unwin Avenue, Toronto, Ontario) 20160528 - TTC Leslie Barns
Maintenance pit @TTCLeslieBarns @Doors_OpenTO under streetcar. Facilities are well lit and brightly coloured, seems like a good working environment. Outside, rode around tracks with tight curves, then streetcar drove through washing and sanding stations. (TTC Leslie Barns, Lake Shore Boulevard East, Toronto, Ontario) 20160528
