Well, by now everyone and their dog has blogged this, but I’ll jump on the band wagon as well. Rebecca just pinged me on iChat and told me about the opening of the new Apple store this Saturday. To be honest, it comes as a fairly big surprise given the state they were [...]

This last weekend was a big eye-opener for me — quite simply, I don’t take enough time in my life these days to go out and have fun. Sure, I attend the odd function and hang out with cool people, but really, I need to get out of the city from time to [...]

I snagged this photo from Tony’s site tonight, but I think it sums up a few of the conversations I had today with a few people:

That picture is a shot of Barack Obama, one of the major contenders for the US presidency next year, giving a speech to 75,000 people in Oregon recently. [...]

I got back from Deception Pass early this afternoon, and I have to say, it was a really great trip. I spent most of the time there just sitting around the campfire reading, often taking a sip from a can of beer when my attention wandered from the pages.

I took a little day trip [...]

Being that this weekend is the May long weekend, and unofficially (at least in British Columbia circles) the start of summer, I thought I might get in the car and take a little road trip. My sister and the kids are camping near Deception Pass in Washington, State, and I’m seriously considering hopping in [...]

Tonight was a jam packed night. I left work around 7pm, and then headed down Granville Street, frantically looking for something to eat. I actually walked into Wings, but it was completely full. So eventually I settled on my old-faithful nacho-haven, the Two Parrots. They had a 35 cent wing special [...]

I read an article this morning that made mention of QR codes, and to be honest, I had never heard of them before. After doing some research, it appears that QR codes are essentially two-dimensional bar-codes that are fairly popular in Japan. A user with a camera phone can simply point their phone [...]

A few weeks ago I received a phone call, the purpose of which was ultimately to talk about some of the injuries I obtained as a result of the incident in November of 2006. During that call, I was asked if I had ever applied for compensation to the BC Victim’s Assistance Program, which [...]

My dryer at home basically stopped working a few weeks ago, so I’ve been rotating ever-so-slowly through my wardrobe. My landlord was going to come by and take a look at it, but I don’t think he’s been feeling very well lately. So anyways, considering I’m out of clean clothes and I’m out [...]

Well, most people go through this world with only one mom, but i’ve been fortunate enough to have two in my life.

My mom, at Cultus Lake last summer

My step-mom, Cathy, also at Cultus Lake last summer
Once I get cleaned up here I’ll be placing a few phone calls. But until then, Happy [...]
