“I hope something terrible happens that changes our perspective on life forever.” That’s the tongue in cheek text message I sent to Geoff, the organizer of the canoe trip, the day before we set off. It quickly became apparent that the universe failed to pick up on the sarcasm. We set out in pouring rain [...]

Joel Plaskett at Aeolian Hall, July 16th
Posted in media, pictures, real life on July 19, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Joel Plaskett played last week at Aeolian Hall. It was a fantastic show; the dude is ridiculously talented. For the majority of the concert, he played completely solo, just him singing and one of three different guitars. Aeolian Hall is tiny, so everyone at the sold-out show got good seats. It felt very intimate, with [...]
The Wick Snuffed Out

One of London’s oldest bars, The Wick, was secretly smashed with a wrecking ball on Sunday. The whole situation is extremely sketchy. The demolition started just before a meeting planned to discuss the building’s future as a protected heritage site. It was so rushed that utilities weren’t even shut off, and there was still beer [...]

My last major stop on my trip was Halifax, where I presented research at the Canadian Psychological Association convention.

Basically I found that when the earth’s magnetic field is disturbed by funky stuff going down on the sun, people are more [...]

My family and I went to BC for my grandma’s 80th birthday celebrations. My grandma is as sassy as she ever was, and it was awesome seeing that she has so many friends that she hangs out with. I hope that I can still be that social when I’m older, because it seems that for [...]
Montreal was the first stop on my cross-country tour. We went to see Geoff get ordained, so I got to experience the actual religious versions of all the Quebec swearing. Before, I didn’t know that the “‘ostie” tacked on the end of every sentence when a person from Quebec gets emotional was referring to little [...]
We Got a New Camera
Posted in pictures, real life, technology on October 9, 2007 | 2 Comments »
So this is a photo-blog now. The camera is a Canon Powershot SD750 and it’s very nice. It can recognize human faces and focus on them, just like The Terminator. It has not, however, killed anybody or time traveled. Yet. I don’t like people much, though, so I only take pictures of dogs. Cuuuute! Cuuuuuuute! [...]
