Not The Subway

I've found that the subway, despite it's reasonably-smooth ride and relative peace, is not condusive to blogging or writing code. I think it's the screeching stops or the drone of station announcements that does it... or maybe it's the door chime. Whatever it is, I don't feel like doing anything creative when I'm riding home on that long stretch.

By comparision, I find that whenever I find myself walking down the Danforth, I feel the need to call someone -- anyone with which to share the moment. My parents will find, that if they tally up all the times I've called them, a large percentage of these phonecalls have included sounds of children running, water fountains bubbling and cars rolling by... I like this street, it's far more soothing than shooting through the city underground... I miss the SkyTrian.

Presently, I'm sitting next to the water fountain at the corner of Logan and Danforth. Having just finished a tasty gyro from Alexandros (yum) I thought I'd take a look around to see if I can find some wireless access points... no luck yet :-( When I get home, I have to do some laundry as well as (hopefully) find the motivation to finish categorising my pictures from Niagra Falls and my last days at my former company. I'm thinking that's aiming a bit high though.
