OCAD SFI lecture
Lecture by @redesign on Systemic Design: Social Systems for OCADU Master's Program in Strategic Foresight and Innovation. Hearing rich content familiar to experienced systems thinkers, a lot for novices to absorb. Followed with a lecture on service systems, design thinking and systems thinking, just to familiarize students with the domain (205 Richmond Street, room 7310) 20140314 0948
Sumida River Ferry
View from top deck of boat from Odaiba to Asakusa, up Sumida River through old and new Tokyo. Walking to Asakusa from shore westward better than from trains northward, as temples just inside gates rather than after lots of retail shops for tourists. (Tokyo, Japan) 20140222 1607
Museum of Contemporary Art, northeast exterior
Permanent installation in the pool of water on the east side of the Museum of Contemporary Art facing Kiba Park. Another full day, preceded by Tsukiji Market, then Ad Museum Tokyo, luxury brands on Ginza and vintage clothes shopping in Shimo-kitazawa.

Shinjuku ramen
Ramen, dumplings, fried chicken as quick dinner at Tokyo Tonkotsu Noodles by the love hotel district in Shinjuku.

(Shinjuku, %okyo) 20140120 1926
Enoshima Iwata Caves on Sagami Bay
Traversed Enoshima Island from north side to south coast for Iwata Caves. Carried candles inside first cave to view Shinto and Buddhist statues. Also walked rocky shoreline along Sagami Bay, talking with a fisherman who didn't share a language. Morning train was quick, as rapid express during rush hour sped way to Ofuna for the Shonan suspended monorail. (Enoshima, Japan) 20140219 1048
AC001 Toronto Tokyo
Two aisle seats booked, lucky with middle seat unclaimed, to give a little more room for napping on the 12-hour flight from Toronto Pearson to Tokyo Narita. Air Canada flight arrived early, had to wait 30 minutes for Narita Express train as just missed the one prior. Trip from airport to hotel completely in daylight, snow is practically all gone after heavy weekend accumulation. (Toronto-Tokyo) 20140217 1146
Toronto Pearson Bamboo City
Small scale skyscrapers as #BambooCity at Pearson Terminal 1 near Priority Checkin, sponsored by HSBC. Is the big barricade around the installation to deter children? (Toronto) 20140217 1001
DY Pearson T1 Departures
Diana starting on AC flight 11 hours eastbound where weather should improve by 20 degrees Celsius. Sister KSY intercepting on route, to fly together. Sister SKY should meet at arrival. Reversal of roles, as DY usually drops us at airport. (Pearson international Airport Terminal 1 Departures, Toronto) 20140202 1436

Herbs Post Decoction
Spent Chinese herbs after boiling 4 cups of water down to 1 cup of decoction inside the electric Chinese medicine cooker. Trying to resolve excess heat (yang, fire) and dry skin with leaves, bark and roots prescribed by Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner. House is now full of unpleasant herb scents, I drank the black liquid as rapidly as possible to minimize offending the taste buds (Toronto) 20131230 1415
Seven bags of herbs from Siang Ye Tang
Traditional Chinese Medicine prescribed 7 bags of herbs, to be boiled and drunken over the next 7 days. Symptoms of heat, dryness, lower mental acuity. Unusual directions to come back next week for more herbs, as my head has been hot over the past month. Decoction to be prepared under range hood, but house will smell Chinese for a while (Chinatown East, Toronto) 20131229 1604
Ryerson Rink, Boxing Day 2013
Casual hockey playing on rink at Gould and Victoria Streets doesn't follow rules of university, but who would be there to enforce on a public holiday? Shoppers on nearby Yonge Street might see skaters as scenery. (Toronto) 20131226 1649
Dressed for skiing at Mount St Louis Moonstone
Restarted tradition of skiing on my birthday, sons ready to ensure survival. Two on snowboards, two on ski blades, me on conventional skis. Lift lines are short on Dec. 24. (Coldwater, Ontario) 20131224 13:07
