Thankful

I'm thankful for snow in November, and for this brief time I've had to be at home with my family and be able to take opportunities like I did yesterday to go out and celebrate the first snow-fall of the season (albeit cold, wet, slippery snow) with my two boys.

We had …

Thank You For Being A Friend

It's just too golden to keep to myself.

Homer Simpson: drawn with CSS Code

One day I hope to be this proficient in my CSS skills...

Dead Turkey Fight

Yes, Thanksgiving can be a lot of work. I think I would definitely be a customer of the ready-made turkey market if it was up to me to prepare the beast.Happy Thanksgiving.

Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed

Last night I went and watched "Expelled" by Ben Stein at the movie theatre in Westbank.I have to say I found the movie quite compelling - it's a documentary about a kind of witch-hunt in the scientific community that occurs when someone mentions the term Intelligent …

The Enemy

I have thought sometimes to myself that we live in a society where there is precious little room to foster understanding, and hopefully someday, forgiveness between people who are becoming increasingly segmented and categorized. We tend to want to settle for quick …

Deciphering Phone Numbers From Words...

I got a cell phone number from one of my friends, and I have called it a couple of times, but unfortunately the letters on my BBerry don't correspond with the way that numbers correspond on a typical north american phone's keypad. This presents a problem for a guy with …

Career Path Trajectory

My career as a web designer has been put temporarily on the shelf, as I have been reassigned to the position of chief engineer of lego and kinex operations at Goward HQ. I always wanted to be an astronaut as a kid. Or maybe a police officer. At least something where I …

Some Instrumental Songs

I've added some instrumental recordings, particularly piano songs that I've recorded over the years. Once in a while I purge the playlist, as after a while it gets too ridiculously long and needs to be shortened up.

Summertime

Ok, admittedly I am definitely in vacation mode. It's a relief to see that the Okanagan heat has finally hit. We went to the beach today and aside from the wind, it was beautiful and hot, and the lake felt swimmable. (My word checker is telling me that's not a word)I am …

Hello.

Sometimes its a little weird posting my thoughts via these plastic keys, watching the characters fill the screen as I click away.What am I really doing? I hope to connect with people, ultimately. So even as I do this, I am hoping to begin to reach out and be more in …

Getting restarted

Last night it rained. Hard.

All the snow is gone. I'm a bit sad to see it leave our neighborhood - I like the snow. I like the way it seems to redeem the dark bleakness of winter. It's just brown and gray and cold when it's gone.

Oh well. I can still see it in yonder …

They Don't Make 'Em Like They Used To...

I've been thinking about how me and my brothers used to play road hockey growing up on the street where we lived - I also remember breaking a few sticks in my day. So it was interesting to me to see this article in the globe the other day that talks about a 150 yr old …

We Huffed, And We Puffed... Playing Indoor Soccer

Last night I got the privelege of playing indoor soccer on a team with two of my brothers - Tim and Ben. I knew it was going to be a challenge, as I have hardly run at all, let alone exercised, since the summertime! (Sad, but true)

It was a tough game against a fast, …

In The Year A.D. 2007

Happy 2007 to all. We had ourselves a merry little Christmas and enjoyed sharing the occasion with our two families complete with little cousins etc., telling our little kids the story of Jesus' birth with fisher-price little people on Christmas day, watching our 2 …

If I Was Going To Get A PDA It Would Taste Like An Apple

Ok, so I logged onto Apple.com last night, completely unaware that they were launching the product of months of secrecy and development with the intent to revolutionize the cell phone industry... It's called the iPhone.

Up until now, I haven't been able to justify …

Desktop Wallpaper

I always like putting a new wallpaper on my desktop to start off the new year, cheezy as that may sound. That being said, if you feel so inclined, here is a wallpaper I designed; inspired by the idea of having fresh vision for a new beginning in a new year... …

Just A Quick Question

I have been on leave for almost 3 months already...

Where does the time go?

Tonight I decided to find out. I put a little "Where does time go?" inquiry into the world's no.1 search engine, and I found this little calculator, which helps somewhat to determine where …
