Overnight camp for kids and adults with developmental disabilities needs staff urgently
`
Currently we do not have enough staff to run our camp at full capacity. In order to avoid reducing camp registrations we are reaching out to you for help in reaching a broader staff network
Tuesday:
101 seconds of plank
11 minutes of yoga for runners
20 minutes of HITT
30 minutes of strength training
7.4 km of #running (18°C, light rain)
Pretty good morning workouts, all told. Enjoyed the light rain which I expected to turn into a downpour based on the radar, but for whatever reason, I missed it.
My onsite today was cancelled, so I'm playing catchup on other work before I go make lunch.
Last Sunday, I hung out at the Hartwells Locks in #Ottawa. I counted over 100 people with a bike crossing the locks in 20 minutes. That is >300 an hour.
Lots of people with e-bikes now and several people struggling getting the bike on to the locks. This definitely needs improvement.
Lots of older folks, clearly touring for the morning or the day, so happy to see that. Our pathways allow for great routes with little interference from car traffic.
Hey #ottbike or folks around #ottawa that are interested in the idea of a #cargobike but have never seen one up close or ridden one. I’m not an organizer but found this on instagram and will probably try and make it out for the show and tell with our two e-cargo bikes. More people need to see them everyday in all the places, in all the situations, for all the reasons people need to move around and live. Please share and come out! #biketooter
It’s really frustrating the pedestrian bridge at Carleton still looks like this! If it were a parking lot it would be open by now! #autowa#ottawalkers#ottawa
Monday:
131 seconds of plank
11 minutes of yoga for runners
30 minutes of HIIT
21 minutes of strength training
25km of #cycing (19°C)
Productive morning; got all the workouts done, helped @TAV with getting her paddleboard in the Rideau, then a nice bike ride (Rideau River Eastern Pathway to Hog's back, along the canal, over the locks, through the Arboretum, along Dow’s Lake and back into Lowertown. Got some work done sitting in the back, started laundry, and made lunch.
New instance, new introduction. Hello, I am Adam from Ottawa Canada. I am a totally blind man, identifying as he/him.
My primary interests are technology and music. I was a former professional drummer, playing the bar stages of Ottawa and the ocasional out-of-town show.
I've always been rhythmical, annoying the heck out of my parents at the tendor age of four on up banging on pots, pans, spoons, and whatever else I could get my grubby little hands on.
I got my first drum kit when I was 12, back in 1999. I got a couple of upgrades over the years, and then switched to electronic kits in 2007 when I managed to save and purchase a Roland TD-12 kit with my own money. That was like buying a car for me, LOL.
I was professionally active from 2007 until 2019.
Some hearing issues with extended loudness causing anxiety and unease started my issues with playing live shows, and then COVID19 really finished that career.
I've been interested in technology from a young age as well, receiving my first electronic note taker for the blind, a Blazie Engineering Braille Lite in 1996 at the age of 9.
I then got my first computer in the summer of 1998, learned DOS, then eventually Windows 3.1, 95, and on up.
I've had many, many, many computers and other technological devices since those days, and I have done any serious compute work in Linux, where in I am mostly referring to running servers, hosting things, and distributed compute projects.
Professionally, I am currently a systems/server administrator, backend web developer, database administrator, and infrastructure administrator.
Other interests include animals, documentaries, listening to most kinds of music, having deep intellectual conversations, and pondering the meaning of life. #Mastodon#Introduction#Ottawa#Canada#Blind#Music#Technology
A lotta spray and pray for these types of images given how packed (which is awesome) all the paths are around #ottawa and have to pay attention a LOT but it feels fun and free so gunna try a bunch of these over the summer #ottbike#gabesimages#biketooter
We’re going to #montreal in August to watch the Red Bull Cliff Diving event, as we have a friend whose daughter has been competing (and winning) for 3ish years in the sport. It’s also for my 40th birthday 👀 Anyway the part I’m most excited about is taking the train 😂 #ottawa#viarail#publictransit
Wild how it took so long to do something so simple. Not that I long to visit the byward Market but Majors Hill or Rideau Falls were rarely on the list of destinations if this was the direction of travel. But this makes basic access possible especially with the bridge open and the new NCC lookout on the +50% complete?? status #ottawa#ottbike#biketooter
#Ottawa#Marathon is in 8 days! I feel ready, but I'm still worried.
I'm not sure my taper is long enough. I feel the accumulated fatigue still.
I'm really not heat-adapted yet (way too early in the season). I hope it's not going to be suddenly 25/30°C...
I don't know if air quality will be affected by the fires (it looks possible)
Still... my fitness seems good enough! #running
I’m definitely of the belief that having a public broadcaster is important, but then there are moments when… when that public broadcaster isn’t funded to do real journalism but must chase click bait bullshit like everywhere else and I internally debate the benefit. I bet the editor gets a fucking bonus for the dek of this article too #ottawa#canada#cdnpolihttps://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/plastic-pollution-lids-straws-culture-war-1.7207579
