H.P. Lovecraft is widely acknowledged to be a racist, but his 1920 short story, "The Doom That Came to Sarnath", can be interpreted as a cautionary tale about the dangers of demonizing the "Other". The leaders of Sarnath killed off the people of Ib, who had a green hue, flabby skin and bulging eyes.

The attached image shows the transcription of a voicemail message left on my cellphone provided by Bell Mobility. The voicemail was a message in French to set up an appt for our condo's smoke alarm inspection. Apparently Bell assumes messages are in English, which is strange for a Quebec service.

The end of an era. In 2002 I installed an Axis ethernet camera in the hallway outside of my office. Yesterday we had to take it down because McGill security said that we weren't allowed to have any unofficial cameras in public areas.
This camera hasn't been used for 15 years but did have its day.

Here's the vision books on my shelf at the moment (I lend out a lot of my books to students). Note the leftmost 7 books are all by famous Canadian authors.

As of today David Lowe's SIFT paper has 78,886 citations, making it one of the most highly cited computer vision papers of all time. Even high school kids know what it is (or should if they want to be cool).
