- Brick oven
Custom-made pizza in only a few minutes, when the fire is already hot. Friday afternoon at 3:30, bakery wasn't busy, so a good destination for a casual business meeting. Strudel and cookies for dessert, could have brought fresh bread home. Chose location so that friend could beat traffic from city centre to the east end, he dropped me off for the westbound subway. (Calabria Bakery, Midland Avenue, Scarborough, Ontario) 20151106 - Cape Sounion
Ruins of the Temple of Poseidon, built circa 440 B.C. Southeast from Athens, A.L. first through eastern small towns, and then along the scenic coastal highway by the Aegean Sea to the end of the peninsula. Perfect day for sightseeing, 24 degrees and sunny, unusual for November. Only a few tourists visiting, so mostly a silent vista of the sea and islands, and time to decompress. (Temple of Poseidon, Cape Sounion, Greece) 20151113 - CASCON 2015 best paper
Game design characteristics by Mazz Nasir @prof_lyons @IBMCAS #CASCON presentation of paper, awarded as 2015 best a few hours earlier. “Operation Sting: A Collaborative Heist” designed as 20 to 30 minutes of icebreaking, good for teams who have not previously met together face-to-face. Measures included speech turns and floor holding, laughter and pauses in subsequent meetings, compared with control groups. (IBM Centre for Advanced Studies, CASCON, Markham) 20151102 - Cascon Day 1 plenary

(IBM Centre for Advanced Studies, CASCON, Markham, Ontario) 20151102 - CASCON Day 2 plenary
Plenary @IBMCAS #CASCON describes @SilverHookPower as @ibmiotf exemplar, by Jim Caldwell, in building and managing an IoT solution. The race team gets real-time intelligence, the fans get a better viewer experience, and officials can rapidly ensure the leading competitor has won within rules. James Caldwell presented in his role as Director, IBM Internet of Things, Continuous Engineering Solutions Development. (IBM Centre for Advanced Studies, Cascon, Markham, Ontario) 20151103 - CASCON Day 3 plenary
Bayesian analysis, says @EliotSiegel @IBMCAS #CASCON is better by machines than typical human judgement. Imaging provides more data than just the specific question that a doctor is hypothesising. Imaging and clinical data is high dimensional information. Regression methods are insufficient. (IBM Centre for Advanced Sides Studies, CASCON, Markham, Ontario) 20151104 - Fairfield, Iowa
Meeting at retreat can include remote colleague on video over the Internet, as our room is quiet. Outside, cows in the pen, horses in the barn. (Fairfield, Iowa) 20151127 - Fairfield, Iowa
Traditional American Thanksgiving, at friend's house in Iowa. Started meal earlier, at noon, relaxed leisurely pace. (Fairfield, Iowa) 20151126 - Glyfada
Evening in the "Beverly Hills of Greece" with many modern buildings, upmarket shopping, expensive sport cars and teenagers hanging out in the playground speaking accented English. Southern suburb of Athens, reputed as one of wealthiest. Friends say this neighbourhood is less impacted by the economic downturn than the city centre districts previously visited. (Glyfada, Greece) 2015113 - HAT Luncheon
Welcomed by @ireneclng and Hub-of-All-Things team to demonstration of house retrofitted with sensors on Internet of Things. Data is continuously recorded and available privately to the homeowner and other potential market partners. Mixture of work and social is a privilege for senior university researchers who can choose to work with friends. Any movements within 20m of house are photographed. (HAT Central, Barton, England) 20151120 - Hull U. Centre for Systems Studies
Allenna Leonard on "Stafford Beer's Fifty Years of Applied Epistemology, or What Else Besides the VSM?" A casual talk, starting from the history of operational research. Audio and video recordings captured for online release later. (Hull University Centre for Systems Studies, Cottingham Road, Hull, UK) 20151117 - Hull University Union
Of the 3 bars in the student union building, only one was open in early afternoon. Browsed through market on ground floor, bookstore upstairs. Strange that I've been to this campus many times over the past decade, and today is the first day I've had free time to wander around. (Hull University Union, University House, Hull, UK) 20151116 - Icicle lights above fireplace
Post-Thanksgiving decoration by child looking forward to next holiday season. Fireplace is more than decorative, warming up the house, logs added every three hours. We unplugged the Christmas tree set up at one side, as blinking lights are too much in the dim room. (Fairfield, Iowa) 20151129 - King's Cross Station
Atrium ceiling support mesh extends down to ground floor. Illumination bounces light off celling, not much daylight coming in on cloudy London afternoon. Congestion at LHR slowed flight from Athens, medical emergency delayed deplaning, then more than an hour in innovation line. Foresaw fallback train, so stress of waiting is mitigated. (King's Cross Railway Station, London, England) 20151115 - King's Cross Station
Train platform canopy. Missed 1:48 train to York, waiting for 4:47. Flight Athens- Heathrow was late, had to wait for medical emergency to deplane, and then immigration line for non-EU visitors was over an hour. Fortunately, had bought a ticket for any train today, so penalty is just waiting. Opportunity for soup in Chinese resto across the street. (King's Cross Railway Station, London, England) 20151115
