Been to Whistler? Check. (It’s about time!) And I must say, it was absolutely amazing…. I wasn’t prepared for the size of it – I knew it was big, but it is massive. I guess it’s hard to realize without actually being there. I must return many more times, next year. 🙂 If anybody else… Continue reading Whistler

Crazy Spring Weather
A couple nights ago, on April 18 (!!!!), it started snowing in Deep Cove. This is NOT normal Spring weather! It’s even more strange because Deep Cove was the only place to get dumped on so bad, even compared to places right next to (and higher than) us! Anyway, it started as hail, then became… Continue reading Crazy Spring Weather
Tweet
I signed up for Twitter. If you ever wanted to know what I had for breakfast, now you can! Yay. I also updated my blog’s sidebar with custom widgets; something I’ve been meaning to do for a while. I broke up the standard “Meta” widget into a Subscribe and an Admin/Login widget, and shoved the… Continue reading Tweet
Open Web Vancouver 2008
I’m going. If you see me there, please say ‘hi’ and offer me a job. 😉 (Preferably, one that requires a brain.) I look like this (when playing video poker in Vegas): Oh! It was a hard choice, but I purchased a pyrate shirt. Yeah. 🙂
Snakes in an Office
I’ve mentioned before that my job (whose contract is almost up) doesn’t require programming. But that doesn’t mean that programming is not useful. When I first got my laptop, I asked the tech guy about the process of installing new software. It went something like this: Write a formal request for the software you would… Continue reading Snakes in an Office
Free Software to Look Forward to
WordPress 2.5 is out! This one makes me overly excited because it comes with a built-in gallery!!! FINALLY! And with multi-file upload!! I was just playing with it and It looks like it will suit my purposes just fine. I guess I will continue avoiding the Flickrs and other such community-based photo sites, for now.… Continue reading Free Software to Look Forward to
Snowboarding Mount Seymour
Last week, I spent Wednesday at Mount Seymour. Man, that mountain has changed over the last… six years!? Half of it seems divided into free style. It’s pretty cool! But the chairs are still dead slow and the runs fairly short, so you spend a while on the chair in between runs. The weather was… Continue reading Snowboarding Mount Seymour
Brawl
After a nice brunch with Ben and Mayu (and Emachan!) in the Cove, today, I went and picked up Smash Brothers: Brawl. I called EB and asked, “Do you have lots of copies of Brawl in?” They replied, “Yep!” So I said, “Great!” and went to pick up a copy. When I get there, they… Continue reading Brawl
Turrican
I’ve mentioned previously that one of my favourite games on my Amiga computer was Turrican II. Frantic. Platform. Awesomeness. Hard as hell, but awesome. (The difficulty could have had something to do with the fact that I was playing it with joystick meant for flight simulations….) Also, the music is phenomenal. Anyway, I was reminded… Continue reading Turrican
Say Uncle
A lot of things have happened over the last month or so that I haven’t really mentioned, as I’ve been fairly busy, tired, lazy, or all of the above. Let me see… a (mostly) chronological bullet-point of events: I went snowboarding at Cypress with my brother (Jan 23). Was awesome. Here’s a couple videos my… Continue reading Say Uncle
