This was an excellent discussion about AI and some of the policy decisions that governments need to be making now to avoid some of the dangers of AI. It’s worth a listen: doac-perks.com/r/V_j74qZv2o.

No new photos today because it’s a rainy, foggy mess of a day in Ottawa. Here’s one of my favourites from earlier in the year. Blue-headed vireo. #photography

What is the brand of Kali’s harness? I have a big, wintery dog who is almost too big for all harnesses but this one looks like he may like it. Meet Sam.

Were you a sleeper cell spy? In fifty years, will all this be declassified? And you'll confess why you did it and I'll say, "Good riddance" 'Cause it wasn't sexy once it wasn't forbidden. I would've died for your sins, instead, I just died inside. And you deserve prison, but you won't get time.

Wednesday is my medical appointments day so I had some time this morning to get outside with my camera. I was looking for owls but came across this beautiful coyote deep in a farm field not far from Orleans. #photography #wildlife

A few people have reached out because I’ve been quiet. I’ve had a challenging time and am working part time. I haven’t spent time marketing or conferencing because I do not know what kind of work I’m targeting. You can mostly find me photographing birds, napping and reading.

I’m so proud of my colleague Andrew Paterson and I’m grateful that others are discovering that he’s one of the quiet leaders of the Ottawa Bar. This mention of his article in the CCLA newsletter made my day.
