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!

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

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.

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.
