  1. This could happen anywhere in Australia:
    Biodiversity conservation going to the dogs

    Somewhere in crowded suburbia is a small creek with a bit of bush left behind by accident. It is a refuge for swamp wallabies, blue wrens and many other species of the biodiversity kin.

    ‘User groups’, that is locals and their dogs demand that the last bit of green is for their ‘recreation’ and not Australian flora and fauna. Pet owners allow that their roaming dogs destroy the last small fragmented refuges where native wildlife can survive.

    Recently a council voted to fence dogs out of the park "to manage the growing dog population in the municipality." There are “problems with dog behaviour…They (swamp wallabies) are threatened and chased and killed by dogs.”

    Anger and vandalism followed. Local pet owners demand to "make the park off-leash for dogs.” The dispute requires 'conflict experts’ from outside to get involved.

    In a place where everything is 'dog friendly’ and where half of Australian households own at least one dog, they implicitly ‘voted with their paws’ to be 'wildlife unfriendly'.

  2. ROAMING THE REGION VIA ION

    As the birds start chirping, the sun shines longer and the gas prices continue to burn craters in our pockets. May I suggest ditching the four-wheeled guzzler for a more sustainable and, dare I say, entertaining way to explore Waterloo Region this spring? 

    Typically, I use two main forms of transportation when abroad: the heel-toe express and public transit. I’ve often contemplated why I don’t practice certain “travel traits” at home. Longer and warmer days seem like an opportune time to transform thought into action—and to pass the fun on to you. 

    The ION is many things to the Region’s residents—a controversial and costly undertaking, a novelty and a major artery of movement, to name a few. I propose that it is also a source of entertainment and enjoyment. 

    Beyond the obvious delight of people watching and general observation of the world around us, the ION offers users a free 3D art gallery, face-to-face social interaction (who would have ever thought that was novel) and countless day-trip itineraries. 

    Here is a four-stop trip to tickle your fancy the next time you’re itching to roam the region. 

    Logistics 

    If you’re not a regular ION user, consider using a Multi-Ride Fare Card for the day’s hop-on and hop-off journey. It’s a disposable electronic card on which you can load between five and 15 rides, and it includes transfers. Purchase them from onsite fare vending machines. Group fares can also be purchased and loaded onto EasyGo Fare Cards. If you already have an EasyGo Fare Card, fares are valid for 120 minutes. 

    Stop 1: The Departure Point AT Conestoga Mall 

    Before hopping on the train, take in the striking public art created by local artist and educator, Catherine Paleczny. “Continuum” is a multi-panel piece displaying the abundance and interconnectedness of natural and human resources in Waterloo Region. For the coders in the group, translate the binary code in the sky for your fellow travellers. Throughout your day, keep an eye out for the rest of the ION Public Art Passport installations. 

    Stop 2: Pastries and Coffee At Research and Technology Park 

    A friend and fellow traveller, Katie, insisted the next stop is a must. After a quick ride, hop off the ION and head to Maison Kookoo on Philip Street for “croissants and really lovely pastries”. Fuel for the day is a must, and there’s nothing like fresh baked goods to increase excitement, plus her past pastry recommendations have always been stellar.  

    Stop 3: Fresh Air, Festivals and Patio Jams At  
    Victoria Park 

    Stretch your legs at Victoria Park. Watch out for geese, smile at strangers, enjoy a picnic or outdoor concert, maybe even hop on the swings. Acquaint yourself with the colourful pedestrian Gaukel Block in preparation for summer festivals, markets and more. If it’s a rainy day, head to AOK Craft Beer + Arcade, THEMUSEUM, or the Adventurers Guild Board Game & Video Game Café. 

    Stop 4: Soundtrack Surprise At  
    Fairview Park Mall 

    Walk across the street to the Beat Goes On. Browse the stacks of vinyl, DVDs, CDs and more. Add extra fun into the mix by gamifying the visit. Purchase an album for your travel companion(s) and surprise them with it on the return ride or go on a hunt to find the coolest cover art or oddest band name.  

    Return to Start 

    After travelling from one end of the ION to another, it’s time to head back to where you started. Ride straight through without stopping or continue the hop-on hop-off adventure. The journey is yours to decide.

  7. Wombats under threat from dogs and development
    Do visitors/tourists want to see beaches full of dogs or wombats?

    "Wombats on the town's Back Beach are under threat from human activity, including off-leash pet dogs.... Native animals are increasingly under threat as development speeds up in the regions...We discovered scores and scores of dogs frequenting [burrows]."

  8. Leider geil! 🔥❤️🔥

    5.-6.11.2025 in Freital beim @bsi im #TEMIS Labor:

    5G Hackathon im 5G Security Lab

    "Teilnehmende erhalten exklusiven Zugriff auf zwei #CarrierGrade #5G Standalone #Mobilfunksysteme führender europäischer Hersteller. Damit lassen sich praxisnahe #Sicherheitsanalysen für verschiedene Use Cases, wie z.B. 5G #Roaming mit direktem Zugriff auf zahlreiche #3GPP 5G-Schnittstellen durchführen."

  9. Vielen Dank für die Einladung @Malik und Team @audiodump! Hat super Spaß gemacht mit euch und Christoph M. Schwarzer über all things #Elektroauto zu reden und gemeinsam mit euch einen Blick in die Welt des #Roaming zu werfen und erklären zu können! Wie funktioniert der Markt mit #CPO / #EMP, was hat es mit der #AFIR auf sich und wie und wieso kommen die Preise so zustande wie sie sind? Wann und wie wird’s günstiger?
    Hört doch mal rein 🎧
