Photos from today

I'm feeling a bit burnt out from work, even though this week was fairly light. Ah well.


Toronto, as seen from the GO Bus this morning.


Anglican Cathedral, one of several cathedrals near my office. I should visit them more often, with the better camera. This was just with the cheap point and click. They were cleaning the organ!


[livejournal.com profile] kores_rabbit came down over lunch hour!


The local Fallout LARP is a lot more frou-frou than the Russian one.

RIP, Walter Cronkite


Walter Cronkite (who has just died, aged 92) and Charles Kuralt (who died in 1997) were the first television personalities I could name who weren't on Sesame Street or Star Trek. You don't seem to get news anchors like them anymore, at least not on U.S. news.

You get blustering demagogues like Keith Olbermann and Glenn Beck, or empty suits with good hair who argue with newsroom staff about whether a 2nd plane just hit the World Trade Centre.

(No, I don't like Keith Olbermann, even if I usually agree with him.)
