Foggy morning

The partly shrouded view of those beautiful “Painted Ladies” near Alamo Park in San Francisco, seen back in the fall.

La déclaration du poisson

Recently spotted this … eclectic door on rue Rachel in Montreal, not too far from Jeanne-Mance Park.

One of the downtown Metro Rail stations in Los Angeles has figurines strung from the ceiling, as if they were sky-diving. Neat effect … once you’ve noticed them, that is!

Cowboy cow

This cool drawing adorns a utility control box at 17 Ave. and 11 St. S.W. in Calgary.

Because we're all five years old inside

So … yeah. Not exactly highbrow but it made me chuckle! Spotted in Portland, Oregon, back in the fall.

Patch released for iOS security flaw

Download of iOS 7.0.6, which patches security flaw.

Screen capture showing download of iOS 7.0.6, which patches security flaw.

Just read a news article on a serious security flaw in iOS 7 and immediately downloaded a software update to my device to patch this problem.
According to the news story linked above: “If attackers have access to a mobile user’s network, such as by sharing the same unsecured wireless service offered by a restaurant, they could see or alter exchanges between the user and protected sites such as Gmail and Facebook. Governments with access to telecom carrier data could do the same.”
I had to invoke the update process manually by going to Settings > General > Software Update where I was invited to download the patch, iOS version 7.0.6.
Those among you with iDevices might want to think about doing the same.

Northern lights

Took a detour on the way home, to take advantage of the darker sky over Nose Hill and get a rare glimpse of northern lights from inside Calgary city limits.
