That’s actually is close to my GIS class(es) structure. Three prep videos at about 20 minutes each. About 60-70 minutes as in class active learning where we work through simplified examples, discuss and answer questions. Then lab section later in the week. Works well with 3rd/4th year undergrads.

I sincerely think that the COVID emergency is what thwarted an attempt to union bust the DFA. And—if I recall correctly—there was emphasis on early (incorrect) enrolment estimates used to justify an opening offer of 5% wage reductions. That almost certainly informed a quick draw lockout this time.

And not to mention the mountain of salt they are putting down in one round rather than more frequent applications of smaller amounts …

Calling all salamander lovers! Here is a great field opportunity with the Riley Lab in Sackville, NB for this summer and fall. Deadline to apply is March 2, 2026.

Ethernet in the LSC has been up and down all week. I’ve had one three hour lab section have nearly a 30 minute delay because downloads were so slow. Put the lab data on four USB drives and got 20+ students taken care of before the Brightspace downloads of the same data were even at 25%.

Turns out, positive for strep. It seems … silly … to me that in a province with a doctor shortage (our family is on the wait list) that the test as a precaution is the lower cost to the system as a whole. Had I waited and it got worse, how much more costly to the system would treatment be? /end

Booked an appointment at a pharmacy. In assessment screening I was was told I didn’t meet a threshold score and didn’t qualify for a swab at a cheaper price. But I could choose to do it anyway at a higher cost. So I did, because it sure seemed like the past two infections. 2/n

After going decades without strep throat, I’ve had two infections over about a year. A couple days ago I started getting symptoms presenting the same way as the last two go arounds. The sore throat more to one side, discomfort extending down the neck and up into the ear. 1/n

Episode 29: The oldest profession in geography

📍 What is the oldest profession in geography and why should you care about it in 2026?

Samesies. Just before I woke up / got up this morning. Mine were about lab software setup for first week labs not being done. And on and on.

Come experience a special screening of Metropolis with LIVE music! | University of King's College King's CSP and HOST programs, in collaboration with the Upstream Music Association will present Fritz Lang's 1927 film Metropolis with live music.

For those in #Halisky, check this out! I saw (and had a small part in organizing) a version of this many years ago, and it was FANTASTIC! I can only imagine it will be even better this year! ukings.ca/events/metro... @kingsbookstore.bsky.social @dalhousie.bsky.social #SFF

I have thoughts. But I also have been occupied in completing my work from a semester disrupted by a lockout, and have not had near enough downtime to process.

I also struggle to identify those small acts of caring and kindness that were a commitment of said recent Order recipient post lockout.

The transformation is nearly complete.

A pan filled with peeled and sliced white potatoes in preparation of making an Acadian Rappie Pie for the Christmas Season.

What time is it? It’s avoid grading exams by spending all day making a Rappie Pie day. That’s a lot of potatoes peeled.

Was happy to contribute to a module in this initiative (street tree distribution in Vancouver, BC).

Get ready for Fat Tony Season. Where the pretzel money is the final grade. And faculty are Fat Tony. Or maybe Marge.

Ok. I’ll concede maybe this is an imperfect analogy but students are definitely Fat Tony’s wife.

It was a simpler time …

EES Students,

We'd love to get your feedback.

Take a survey on three upper-year Earth Science ERTH/GEOG 3302 – Quaternary Sedimentary Environments, ERTH 4350/5350 – Tectonics and ERTH 4153 – Petroleum Geology & Energy Systems and help inform and improve course offerings and scheduling.

I suppose technically Whammageddon starts December 1st so … mulligan?

Walked through Public Gardens to see the lights they’ve put up for the holidays. Immediately Whamageddoned. Not. Even. December.

(I am shocked there is not more Bluenoser or #HaliSky outrage 😉).

The New York Times spelling be rejecting “donair” as a word despite it is obviously being a word.

Unacceptable.
