Episode 165 - Pop Shoppe

So, writing this before we go.

Look, I think I have a title already.  It is my hope anyway.  More on that when we get back.

It's spring, really!

The nice weather means that Cow Quest 2017 has begun!  Isabelle went cow painting yesterday, and had a good time doing so.

I had a lot of meetings yesterday.  I invited Isabelle to come to a university Senate meeting, she declined....

The title refers to the Pop Shoppe, a Canadian institution for a while, that just disappeared.   It is back, and it's selling alcoholic pop!  So, yeah, I got some....

We then had some audio issues in the third segment, so we recorded a bit at home.  Looks like Isabelle will be entering some prints in a competition.  You can see them in the pic on this post.

Jon joined us for a bit as well.  Have a good week, see you next Saturday.

Episode 164 - It's All Just Shoobeebadoo

First off, sorry for the audio quality last week, I thin kI have the issue resolved.

Back to our normal routine.  Saturday shopping.

Isabelle is involved in a cool project where people from all over the place fill in sketch books, crowd sourced art sorta.

Remember those inter office memo envelopes?  Who makes those now?  Is that company out of business?  Do people read stuff less now than they used to because stuff is quicker?  I dunno.

Isabelle continues her grant writing.

The LCBO might go on strike.  This concerns me.

Episode 163 - Thermally

So, I just got back from the Conference on Comparative Cognition, which explains the odd release day for the podcast.

At left you can see how generally evil the Orlando airport is.

The trip was good.  Maddie gave a great talk, and generally the conference itself was great, as it always is.  This year there was the Space Coast March For Science which many conference goers attended.  Maddie included.  I did not, as it umm, well, is in the Florida sun.

That said, many went, and here's a cool video of it.

Debit and credit machines were down at the grocery store, people had to pay with, CASH.  It felt so 1996.  Then again, in the States you still sign for your credit card purchases rather than use a chip card because FREEDOM!!!
