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

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.

Sailing happily

Spotted this on a utility box in the old quarter of San Diego, back in the fall.

Fragment poétique

Found this poetic fragment pasted onto (and partly torn from) some kind of utility box in Montreal’s Plateau Mont-Royal area.

Laurelhurst

The Laurelhurst Theater has what I consider to be one of Portland’s more extravagant examples of neon signage (of those I’ve seen so far, anyway). It’s on the northwest corner of E Burnside St. and 28 Ave.

Clouds not nearly as mean as you ever seen

You can return to a place over and over, gazing out upon a familiar skyline framed by a familiar landscape … but capture it under a partly cloudy sky and you’ve got a scene you will likely never see again.
This is San Francisco, with lovely clouds courtesy Mother Nature, seen from Torpedo Wharf on a beautiful Saturday afternoon in November.
