I’m kind of hoping to get a scanner with medium format film scanning capability for my birthday, which is only a month and a week away *hint, hint*. If I did get the scanner, I’d be able to do my…

Mmm, strawberry milk… Just nine months ago, the weirdest day of our lives. ‘Twas our wedding day. Before Troy left for work, he told me about how a couple we know had decided not to move to another province…

Tonight I finally got around to updating one of my favourite creations: Firdamatic. It’s just that I’ve been getting tonnes of emails lately from Blogger/Blogspot users who are having problems with their Firdamatic-generated layouts. I don’t really have time to…

I don’t know if you have been or even have heard of the Salvation Army auctions but we went to a couple last night. One in Guelph and another one in Kitchener. The auctions were kind of sad. You really…

Was just reminded of this fact. Happy first birthday to our deceased snow T-Rex. Made one year ago. Last year’s winter was so much more exciting than this year’s. Partly because it was my very first winter, and partly…

Yesterday I came across this compilation of songs from alt. rock bands of the 90s called When We Were Young at I Guess I’m Floating (an MP3 blog). It is an interesting compilation of songs that you can download if…

How could I forget. Years of haiku-ing, and yet I’m still lost for words every now and then. I hope you like my I-don’t-know-what-to-haikuise haiku. Heh. Anyway, I just went through my old, old weblog archives from my Blogger…

Say, if you were a professional photographer and you were having a major exhibition, would you just swap out your photographs with those taken by people who want your photographs instead of asking them to pay a fortune? Timothy Prus…

Computer is mute. All I can hear is the sound of (almost) silence. I’ve always wondered if I should count my blogging years from the time I started chronicling my life on Diaryland or from the time I started…

Have you noticed that a lot of digital point-and-shoot cameras these days come with big LCD screen and no viewfinder? I don’t know about you but a camera with no viewfinder just doesn’t look right to me. Sure the big…

Yes, I’ve decided to do the daily haiku thing again. If anything, it makes a good blogfodder. A crazy snowfall, I can see through the window. How long will it last? I don’t know if I was dreaming it…

Dear Weblog Wannabe, Happy 6th anniversary! I know there are 8 ducks in the picture but I don’t have one with only 6 ducks on it so this one will have to do it. Remember when we used to…

So, how’s your You-Know-What Day been? Mine’s been… short. I couldn’t sleep last night due to the too-much caffeine I got from the overly thick tea I had yesterday. Didn’t go to bed until 2:30 in the morning and…

This morning I woke up with a craving for Brain Curry (Gulai Otak). It’s one of my favourite Indonesian food and it’s so good, baby! You wouldn’t believe me until you try it. Of course you don’t eat it…

Winter came back with full force this past Saturday in spite of what some groundhogs said about winter being over soon. Of course this past Saturday had to be the day we were scheduled to meet up with my…

Because Lindsay tagged me and I needed a blog-fodder, here comes my answers to the four memes: Four (other) jobs that I’ve had: Translator School librarian Cataloger Web designer Four little-known facts about me: I’m telephonophobic. I find most…

I wrote about Utata before. Well, Utata’s latest offering is a project called Utata Pays Homage where Utata members, including yours truly, “were asked to either produce a photograph that was a direct imitation of a photograph made by…

So it’s been decided by Ontario’s Wiarton Willie. Winter is ending soon. Nova Scotia’s Shubenacadie Sam also confirmed Willie’s prediction of an early Spring. However, their American counterpart, Punxsutawney Phil, disagrees. He saw his shadow when he woke up…

Happy February! Just wanted to post a few things I noticed while surfing around aimlessly. Internet Explorer 7: Beta 2 Preview is out. I’m scared! Please hold me! I don’t know if I’ll be brave enough to install it….
