Wow. I thought I had inadvertently ended up on the Onion page. But no, this is real. A coffee mug for $200, on a 'great sale' down to $128. With Find My built in.

$200 for a 12 ounce travel coffee mug. A coffee mug.

A MUG.

I am talking o a reporter about this in a couple hours: https://regina.ctvnews.ca/from-outer-space-sask-farmers-baffled-after-discovering-strange-wreckage-in-field-1.6880353

This is about an hour away from my farm, so this'll be a fun conversation, and yet another great opportunity to tell a lot of people about what a huge problem we have with unregulated commercialization of orbit. (Also I just redid my slides for my public talk next week, this is going in!)

This morning on my walk to my meeting, I saw one of those high-power scooters race (probably 40+km/hr) down St Patrick and completely blow the light at Dalhousie and was narrowly missed getting clipped by a car that had right-of-way.

No helmet, no gloves, or any other protection. That person is going to get themselves seriously injured in short order, methinks. 🤔

Feels like 92F/31C and humidity is over 75%. Gross.

Thursday:
125 seconds of plank
11 minutes of yoga for runners (#AppleFitness)
20 minutes of HIIT
30 minutes of strength training
5.2 KM of #running
4.3 km of fast #walking (10°C)

Workouts went reasonably well, about 5km in, my body firmly decided it wanted to walk (albeit quickly).

Nice to see the protests in front of the Russian embassy getting ramped up the past few days. Also happy they saw my hat (has 🇨🇦 & 🇺🇦 on it)

1) Recreational path lined with trees, and the Rideau River on the right 2) Close-up of white flowers with the sun behind them in the clouds 3) Looking over the Rideau River at Strathcona Park, with the Adawe Crossing visible on the far right. 4) The Russian embassy in Ottawa, with Ukrainian-supporteds out front including a sign saying Russia’s Shame, and names of cities in Ukraine on blue and yellow signs.

Oh the hairdresser wasn’t too bad, I was able to chat a bit, but she did ask I’ve tried meditation and say that she uses crystals for her own MH difficulties.

This run was a very relaxed one, and it was a serene one as well. I met only three people in the course of my run, usually there are more people around at this time of day. But I really liked it that way. I just ran along without planning my route, trusting my inner autopilot. As it turned out, that was the best strategy for me today. Afterwards, I jumped on my #schwinn and did an #applefitnessplus workout, followed by a #rowing workout, both of which by Coach Bakari. #Running #applewatchultra2

I have a work commitment downtown and am keen to stay dry after a wet bike commute home. Glad for some great transit options. Bus->LRT is about as effort-free as it gets in jacket and pants.

Happy to see #cbc investing in the fundamentals in #montreal, this series does everything right.
I listened to a few of the episodes on stuff I know about and they’re doing a pretty good job.

Today, Zero Trust requires that security and IT teams verify every identity, secure every sign in, and ensure the health of every device. Yet traditional IAM tools can only secure a fraction of them.

Register for our live webinar to learn how you can address the challenges of modern access, including:

🔹Why legacy approaches to access management leave large gaps.
🔹How you can extend access management to secure access to all applications from all devices.

Wednesday:
115 seconds of plank
11 minutes of yoga for runners,
30 minutes of HIIT
20 minutes of strength training
25.7 KM of cycling (10°C, wind gusts to 35km/hr)

Had a tough time with the HIIT today.

Weather was more to my liking today; overcast and cool. Then it started to rain about half way into the ride. 🤷🏻🤣

Morning. I slept badly and I’m tired and confused. We’re scheduled to go on a day trip to see the dams in the Elan valley, with lunch at an award-winning pub. Predictably I don’t want to go and feel about as enthusiastic as if I was scheduled for toenail surgery. How are you?
