Wood shooting the Cedars
This cast bronze sculpture is by Walter Yarwood and is called "Cedars (1962)" and is outside the Anthropology Building on Russell Street at U of T. I really like the effects of weather on this piece, which I assume has been there for decades.

This is a pull quote from the end of a Rolling Stone interview with Serena Williams published today. Shows what an ignorant (fill in the blank) she is as she talks briefly about the Steubenville Ohio girl who was raped by the high school football players:
"Do you think it was fair, what they got? They did something stupid, but I don't know. I'm not blaming the girl, but if you're a 16-year-old and you're drunk like that, your parents should teach you: Don't take drinks from other people. She's 16, why was she that drunk where she doesn't remember? It could have been much worse. She's lucky. Obviously, I don't know, maybe she wasn't a virgin, but she shouldn't have put herself in that position, unless they slipped her something, then that's different."
Could Serena support the notion of a 'rape culture' anymore with her ... more »

Kodak ceases acetate base production at its Rochester plant next week.
It is a key component of film production. They say they have stock for years and could source things if need be. But, even with Ilford and Fuji, the end if film is slightly closer today than it was yesterday.

One St Thomas Street Residences
Top floors of a building in Toronto whose design I really like. A throw back to art deco: when design meant putting up a building that wasn't just a glass Borg cube stacked on itself. Designed by Robert A.M. Stern Architects.

In the winter they look all haunted forest like with their twisted bare branches, but an apple orchard in summer is a different thing altogether.

Not a T an M or an N, but certainly a T.
And one I made sure got to the other side of the sandy beach road unscathed.
I believe this is a Midland Painted Turtle Chrysemys picta marginata

Iron and Ivy
Since U of T was crawling with convocation tents, hundreds of parked cars, at least one wedding? reception at Hart House, and undifferentiated neutral skies, I decided concentration on the details instead of the big picture would be better. This is outside of Falconer Hall.

Down Ladder. No.2
Visible on 'Channel Marker No.2', these re-bar rungs put into the side of the breakwater wall would be useful for rescuing someone or climbing out if you were in the water. Having a strong grip or being clipped to a safety harness would be good idea if you went further. Normally 4 rungs are visible from this angle.

Channel Marker No.2
Channel marker at the end of the long breakwater at Erieau, ON on Lake Erie. Waves were coming in from the right and crashing over the theoretically walkable base of the channel marker. This wave rolled down the side of the breakwater before dissipating it's energy.I had to lift my feet up to avoid getting wet as I sat on the edge of the flat top surface.

Channel Marker No.1
Channel marker at the end of the long breakwater at Erieau, ON on Lake Erie. Waves were coming in from the right and crashing over the theoretically walkable base of the channel marker and rolling down the sloped side of the breakwater - you can see from the dark colour how far they were reaching up.

Drop in average interaction with the new Google+ layout
Many people are mentioning in the last days that there is less interaction on their posts with the new layout.
We had the same feeling, but we like also to see some analytics with objective numbers ;)
We have analyzed 9.787 posts from 100 persons for the last 3 months and here is the result.
Since a picture is worth a thousand words check out the image in this post (and engage! ;) )
You can find this chart also on this page where it is more interactive so that you can check the exact numbers for every day:

Just finished watching his portion of the I/O keynote where he took some questions, and while on several levels it would be very cool to chat with +Larry Page I really don't think I should bother him through that bright green box on his profile just to say thanks for Google and it's various products and apps. But regardless, thanks, Larry. :)

Interesting observation on the new non-updating stream.
Before the change to the Tumblr like (sorry, but it’s true), non- updating stream, I had anywhere between 2-400 more views per image instantly. This is a raw number that is measurable and has been pretty much constant for many months. I would often get +/- 700 image views within the first few minutes and then depending on the image and it’s subject matter it would go up from there. I don’t see that now. Perhaps it is just a content thing, and my observation is not exhaustive, but I think that the change away from the auto-updating stream to manual one is causing content to be missed.
Previously, I know if I had g+ open in a tab, I would see stuff scroll by and then I would check it out even if I had to scroll a little bit up or down to see it. Now, depending on the time of day, I click a button and 75-100 posts will rip by. I ... more »

Breakwater, Erieau, Ontario
Incredibly windy, it was driving the waves from the right. They were hitting the wall pretty good and going up occasionally right to the flat walkway on top. On occasion while shooting waves sitting on the edge it came right up to me and I had to lift my feet to stop getting soaked with very cold lake water. But the breakwater was doing it's thing. Heavy waves to the right, and calm to the left at the entrance to the protected harbour.

Putting good thoughts out there towards the friends and families of the 4 man crew that were lost when their Ornge Sikorsky S-76A air ambulance went down this morning near Moosonee, ON, just South of James Bay (that is 849km North of Toronto). This was the first fatal crash of an air ambulance in Canadian history.
This image is of an Ornge Agusta Westland AW-139 air ambulance taken last weekend on approach to YXU
