تاريخ الإنشاء / 2015
- Trudeau Airport
Not yet in Brussels, French language announcements on terminal. Brief stop in Montreal, booked loose connection so no stress on flight departing late. Moose, hockey and maple syrup are enduring symbols for Canada. (Trudeau Airport, Montreal, Quebec) 20150922 - Trinity College Quad
Entered from north gate to annual book sale. Rainy, so came by car instead of by bike. As usual, found a few systems research books not available in the public library. (Trinity College Quadrangle, Toronto) 20151024 - Trinity College 8T0 35th reunion
Actually 39 years since first meeting many of this University of Toronto class at orientation week. Wine tasting in the Combinations Room, a place to to gather while dining from the buffet in Strachan Hall, then continuing to a pub on Harbord Street. Mostly recognized the faces, names were aided by wearing labels. Group photo at 8:15 p.m., for the people who could hang on that long. (Trinity College, University of Toronto) 20150530 Photo album at goo.gl/photos/LMe7umtd4mVioUVX7 - Toyama Park
Mountain biker hopping up steps in forested ravine between apartment buildings at dusk. On walk from Okubo district to Waseda University, got turned around on descent then ascent into green space. Large map signs every few city blocks combined with compass clarified navigation on confused mobile phone. (Toyama district, Tokyo, Japan) 20150305 - Town Square
Nativity scene in Central Park of Fairfield, Iowa, has space for extra characters. Non-American visitor freaked out by happy holiday music playing in the background. (Fairfield, Iowa) 20151128 - Tour Noire
Watchtower from the first walls of Brussels, constructed during early 13th century Roman times, which were outgrown so that by 1356 the second larger walls were built. The superfluous first walls were dismantled between the 16th and 18th centuries, except for the Tour Noire (Black Tower), which the mayor insisted was to be retained, and surrounded by shops. The tower was recognized as a listed landmark in Brussels by 1937. When the district around the Place Sainte-Catherine was targeted for redevelopment in the late 1990s, the Atelier d'Art Urban replaced the shops with a new hotel designed to accommodate the tower. The hotel became to be managed by Novotel. (Tour Noire, Brussels) 20150925 - Toronto IBM Club Retirees
Update on IBM Canada R&D Centre by @AllenLalonde, meeting the challenges of big data with collaborative innovation centres across universities, industry and government. CARET, SOSIP, CHIA, Ocean Networks Canada. Among retirees, seeing a few familiar faces. (St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church, Scarborough, Ontario) 20150407 - Toronto Beaches boardwalk
Touring city, stopped by Leuty Lifeguard Station to look onto Lake Ontario. Blue sky in morning, ice pellets at midday, cloudy by afternoon. SHN brought hat, gloves and boots to dress for weather that is about the same as Finland. (Leuty Lifeguard Station, Toronto, Ontario) 20151122 - Tommy Thompson Park view west
Downtown Toronto from the Minor Trail Transition view over Embayment C, by the turnaround on the Multi-Use Trail Section 2. Only halfway down the way, but going further south would cross a pedestrian bridge. Shameless disregard of signs saying the Leslie Street Spit is only open on weekends, many runners and cyclists are out on a Monday 6 pm, after construction access closes at 4:30. (Tommy Thompson Park, Toronto) 20150526 - Tomb of the Unknown Soldier
Changing of the guard at midnight in front of Parliament Buildings in Greece. A.L., who served in the military, thought that they were newbies, as their timing was not well coordinated. He confirmed with an observing officer, who said it was their third day. Walking the streets where riots were reported on the news 12 hours earlier, all is quiet, showing that demonstrators only perform when the camera is on. (Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, Syntagma Square, Athens, Greece) 20151212 - Times Square
Sunday spring stroll down 7th Avenue, at temperature above freezing. Loose weekend before a Monday morning meeting. Benefits of a friend with a Manhattan apartment. (New York City) 20150322 - Tikkurila Station
New Ring Rail Line to Helsinki Airport means a connection at Tikkurila to commuter service to Hämeenlinna, rather than taking the bus as on previous trips. Buying tickets from machine was easy. Disoriented when scheduled train displayed destination of Riihimäki, when expected routing towards Tampere. After boarding, we were informed that the front few rail cars detach from the series at Riihimäki, to continue towards Tampere. A helpful conductor told us that we could chill, and would have enough time at Riihimäki to take our luggage off, and move to the front of the train. (Tikkurila Station, Vantaa, Finland) 20150930 - Third floor high ceiling
Mesh sphere pendant lights on top floor of old Bank of Upper Canada building gives a celestial feel to the room. Sandblasted walls and wrought iron balcony are a nice contrast to the presentation on new cloud container technologies. Presenter prefers command line SSH over friendly browser interface. (Digital Ocean Meetup, MyPlanet HQ, Toronto) 20151015 - TheRex
