I finally got to watch Weapons (2025). Really happy to finally have a night to see it.

Good on the University of Guelph.

I guess this is one case where it's more efficient to give food rather than cash.

When I created my UV index charts back in the summer, I didn't foresee the problem that the bars would all be yellow and therefore the white labels would be unreadable.

I had those comics back when I was in high school and I still have a soft spot for them.

It'll be safe to go to Toys R Us, right? There won't be anything I'll just have to buy.

I finally got to climb the Pioneer Tower thanks to #DoorsOpen

I feel like I've got to do a KW tradition.

A little bit of a lineup for going up Pioneer Tower. #DoorsOpen #kwawesome

Made me think of this old joke:

Happy 5 1/4 inch floppy disk day to those who celebrate!

When the GO Train is delayed by 20 minutes, you get some strange departure signs.

May the Fourth be with you.

Happy #StarWars day.

I was given this book last year. I remember reading at least one of the Han Solo books awhile ago.

Kitchener-Waterloo needs this.

The worst part of my commute is when the train arrives in Kitchener and many cars fight to get in and out of the train station parking lot.

Region must also ensure those living in the Victoria Street encampment have a place to go.

Brampton Transit, which is an integral part of my commute, gets a nice shoutout from Bloomburg.

For a city of 700,000 an average weekday bus ridership of 226,500 is pretty impressive.

The Züm bus is my connection to the regional rail system and has fare integration with it.

Reminding myself how much I suck at this (almost) 40 year old game.

In Terminator Zero there is a terminator with a crossbow built into their arm, and I'm loving that for them.

Thanks to the folks at @humberarb.bsky.social for leading the walk for International Squirrel Appreciation Day.

We appreciated some squirrels and they appreciated us humans.

An amazing visit to the Cambridge Butterfly Conservatory today. They are always very helpful and it's great to go someplace warm on a cold, snowy day.

Early GO train commute this morning.

It was my first time seeing this mosaic on the side of the Clay and Glass Gallery.

It was a grey day, but it's always nice to come back to this lake.

This weekend's visit to Waterloo Park.

An amazing first full day at ##CIRPA 2024 in Fredericton, New Brunswick. Great presentations and conversations and plenty to take back to our institutions. ##CIRPA2024 ##InstitutionalResearch

I can't believe that the CIRPA 2024 conference is almost here. I'm really looking forward to seeing friends and colleagues old and new in Fredericton.
