- Myra Lokka Park by Vøyenbrua
Dusk walk from U. Oslo to Grunerlokka includes scenic path south on east bank of Akerselva River. Instead of 40 minute commute in and put off city centre, 70 minute downhill stroll was relaxing. - Tinuno
Kamayan feast of Filipino grilled fish, squid, shrimp, kebabs, pork and garlic rice went quickly with everyone eating with hands in plastic gloves. Visitors from Vancouver a good occasion for a special meal at a venue where reservations are required even for an early dinner. A fun experience, relieving the stress of planes arriving late, and then driving through rush hour traffic. (Tinuno, Howard Street, St. Jamestown, Toronto, Ontario) 20171220 - Sam Wo Restaurant
Sunday morning at 11 a.m., no line up at business over 100 years old. Food is older style Chinese, with rougher noodles, and wonton with no shrimp, a style predating 1970s immigration from Hong Kong. (Sam Wo Restaurant, Chinatown, San Francisco, California) 20170319 - Choral jazz @BurdockTo
Isis Giraldo Voces project @torontojazzfest, unexpected a capella harmonies in a warm set with an excellent sound system. Performers from Montreal have a different sense of musicality, great that they can share this on tour. Opening for Emma Frank. (Burdock Music Hall, Toronto) 20150618 - YYC
Canadian designed YYC Link passenger shuttle has human drivers, and no wait for ride. Shaves minutes off changing terminals. Amazed that 60 minute connection including immigration and terminal changes is comfortable. (YYC, Calgary, Alberta) 20171022 - Small Arms Inspection Building
Lighthouse tower #AugustasSerapinas (2022) 5 Sheds transformed by @SawmillSid for @torontobiennial. Reclaimed wood, nails and wallpaper reassembled from an abandoned shed from Barr'd Islands, Fogo Island. Friday morning scheduling presented an opportunity for a date, on short notice. (Small Arms Inspection Building, Lakeshore Boulevard West, Mississauga, Ontario) 20220408 - Deepening systems knowledge
Lunch @MitroffCrisis discussing complexity vs. complicatedness, and ways of teaching systems thinking to students. Ian had a copy of "The Collapse of Complex Societies" by Joseph Tainter on his shelf, and said that he would read it on my recommendation. (Oakland, CA) 20151210 - Regis College
Agenda @RegisCollege film series, led by Monty Williams, S.J., departs from previous sessions. Spiritual conversation isn't discussion about the movie, it's about the ways each individual is touched by the work, and then observing the responses from others in a small group. The 2016 documentary of -Fire at Sea" tells a story of villagers in Lampedusa, the southernmost island of Sicily, closest landfall for migrants crossing the sea from Tunisia. (Regis College, Wellesley Street West, Toronto, Ontario) 20180926 - Cascon 2017
Clustering sticky notes in Strategic Foresight Workshop after discussions over lunch and ideation. After years of lecture layouts, ballroom is arranged with round tables to encourage sharing and capturing amongst participants. Many drawn away from collective activity towards posters at kiosks around the room, so maybe next time reducing options for distraction will lead to stronger inputs. (Cascon 2017, Hilton Suites, Warden Avenue, Markham, Ontario) 20171106 - SJSU Art Building
Relaxed 6-hour studio @rarar @SJSUArt Advanced Digital Video covering motion graphics in ART 105 course. Students showed work-in-progress video, and reflected on the craft they're developing. Watched some VFX to aspire towards, then hands-on learning. Conscious of how post-production budgets could balloon if frame-by-frame detail is done. (Art Building, San Jose State University, California) 20170317 - De Anza neighbourhood
Family photo in Northern California back yard, flowers blooming in spring. Father will visit with more family in Southerh California and enjoy cruise, before returning to Toronto next week. We communicate frequently online, but have a few days when we're at least all in the same time zone. (De Anza neighbourhood, Sunnyvale, California) 20220424 - Design with Dialogue, April 2015
Special session for SSHRC question, six parallel streams, video capture and live sketching. Pulled together on short notice by SFI masters students. (Lambert Lounge, OCAD U) 20150408 - UIC view east
John Hancock tower in background behind Lecture Centre, on plaza outside Richard J. Daley Library. Beautiful spring day could make one forget that winters on the west coast of Lake Michigan can be bitter. Visited Annalenna for lunch (Chicago) 20120427 1241 - Congee Queen
Father's Day isn't so important to me, so sons made it Grandfather's Day by organizing lunch. Bustling Sunday crowds in popular Chinese family eatery. Succeeded in eating less meat and more vegetables this time, but the taste of salt still fills the mouth a few hours later. (Congee Queen, Agincourt Mall, Sheppard Avenue East, Scarborough, Ontario) 20170618 - Lowkong cemetery monument
Annual visit to honour ancestors, with traditional whole roasted pig and chickens for standup lunch. Four of us represented our family branch, as others travelling out of town. Declined on dinner, we'll have our own remembrance of mom and our branch in two weeks when the family can convene. (Pine Hills Cemetery, Scarborough, Ontario) 20150517
