Snow Day

Who Writes This Stuff?
Well, Me. My name is Shawn Day and I am a PhD student in the History Department at McMaster University in Hamilton. Academically, my research interests revolve about nineteenth century Canadian economic, business and social history. Most specifically the role of drink and those who served them in late 19thC Ontario. More broadly I explore the adaptation of technology and information visualisation to the pedagogical process. Professionally, I earned my stripes in the dotcom boom as jack-of-all trades in co-founded development ventures. Prior to that I was a self-employed journeyman involved in diverse aspects of information architecture. I have some history in technology and a joy in life is catalyzing the reaction between technology and the study of history.

We had a bit of a dump of snow for the last couple days. Finally broke out an hour ago to see about the electrical stuff. I gather we took the big hit for our area 70cm in total I gather. That’s a goodly amount of snow. I shoveled the driveway three time working under the expectation that that would save the larger later shovel. For the record, that did not work. Should have done one big dig. With a good wind, what I took out of the driveway chasm, was deposited back within a short time. Only so much could have piled so definitely moved more than I had to. Here’s some Pics. (Click for a slightly larger version)
