8r4d Last night we went for a casual #walk as a run club. Our annual holiday lights strolling adventures.

Time to update my video collection from 2022 and I started with some clips from our Disney trip almost a full year ago now!

Another short video from our recent NYC adventure.

I sat in Stantec Tower during my #lunch break today and watched some folks enjoying the outdoor rink at Rogers Place

Walking from my parking to my office this morning the sun was just coming up over downtown so I thought I’d share that moment in a video montage.

Microfiction or microstories are bits of #writing exercises that are meant to stretch the creative muscles. I'm having a creative December, so I'm gonna be posting lots of art and words and other related stuff. With my microstories I like the idea of committing to a work for 30 minutes and fleshing out a story in 200-300 words and then moving on. And forcing myself to do it from a random prompt makes it so that I don't write 30 stories about time travelling robots. Today's is kind of an allegory for a kid stumbling onto social media. See a theme here?

For my #creativeadvent challenge I've got a list of daily creative chores to do for the first twenty four days of December. While you're scarfing little chocolates from your advent calendars, I'll be #writing #painting and #posting. This is your feed for that. Like for today, I did the first of my December #microfiction posts linked below:

As the year wraps up I’ve dabbled in what I’m (right now) calling the addict’s last puff on the drug known as corporate social media. And as we creep into 2023 when I need to think less about the moral and ethical impact of my high technology use, I can spend more time thinking about and writing about my low tech fun, fire, food and cast iron cooking, right? I've written a short little post about that here:

8r4d Reluctant transit buddies this morning.
