Toronto Island

A visit to the Toronto Islands last weekend was really fun… it’s always good to get on the water. It was a really odd experience to look back at the big City, from the quaint cottages on the Island – the noises of the City (traffic, construction and the hum of the A/C) could be clearly heard.

Even so, I wouldn’t mind this commute.

Toronto Skyline

I was at a conference this week in downtown Toronto. It was an interesting couple of days – debating the merits of building CityWide WiFi networks a la Google in San Francisco – geeky fun – and a whole bunch of possibilities – but that’s by the by.

The thing that caught my attention was the pictures that everyone used… As we were in Toronto - every powerpoint presentation started and ended with a picture of the Toronto skyline. There were some stunning images and it really made me sit up and notice what an amazing looking skyline the city has. What do you think? Is this a good looking skyline, or a monstrous modern carbuncle?

A couple of other pretty awesome shots are here and here.

The usual Jack service will resume shortly.
