Our Almost-Five year old finally turned Five today.
We went to see Disney on Ice at the SkyDome ..er.. Rogers Centre today to celebrate. The show was a lot of fun (although I’m miles away and no closer to being a figure-skating fan than I was before).
We got monetarily raped in the process […]

Please indulge me for a moment. As you can see on the top of this page (unless you’re reading through an aggregator) I’ve toyed about with a new blog header image and finally came up with something I kind of like. Let me know if it works for you - or not.

Hopefully everyone enjoyed (or is still enjoying) their holiday time. Myself, I feel kinda relieved it’s over once again for another year. It’s such a mad rush at the end of the year. As you can see from the photo above, our dog Jessie was as beat as we were by the end of […]

Talk about a positive outlook. Here’s an extremely entertaining and well-written guide to surviving a 35,000 ft freefall. If you do manage to exit the aircraft at 600mph, at least you can be prepared. Here’s a small excerpt of the greatness that is this article:
Snow is good—soft, deep, drifted snow. Snow is lovely. Remember that […]

Ahh the holidays. When you couple the Christmas, New Year (and in our case birthday) season hurtling towards you with a ridiculous amount of work as every Tom, Dick and Sally comes out of the woodwork wanting projects finished and permit applications submitted before the new year, you end up with time for little else.
It’s […]

I think we’ve all become somewhat used to hearing about medical progress in terms of identifying problems, treatments to mitigate symptoms or preventative measures. Not every day you read about the reversal of a disease.

Some good news in the news for a […]

Looks like Flickr has given an early Christmas present to its users! Free account holders get their upload limits increased 5X to 100MB/month! And even better still Pro account holders (of which I am one) now get unlimited uploads!
Now I’ve really got to get my arse in gear. I’ve yet to run up against the […]

Lifehacker has a post up about a neat little Flickr easter egg which lets you put a Santa hat or beard on a photo.
