Al Gore’s address at NYC, May 26, 2004 – can I just print of a million of these, visit the States and start handing them out?

Contact Sheet – 1940s pamphlet on how to use… the phone. Great line drawings in this one.

jsUI Collection – My friend Jon, who knows more about JavaScript and Microsoft MMC than any human should, is writing some really cool and nice-looking JavaScript UI components. I can run rings around him in PHP though

Adventures in electronics disassembly

I’ve got microelectronics to fix. Camera’s done, next will be a pair of eMates… Last night, I replaced the rear case cover on Sandy’s Kodak DX4530 digital camera. It must have taken a nasty bounce at some point a few weeks ago, because the clear plastic overtop of the LCD was cracked. It wasn’t in […]

Adventures in Babysitting

Not that one. Sandy and I took Raven off of Mike and Nicole’s hands for a night, to give them some time off. Here are some photos – cute little bugger, ain’t she? Sandy kept on saying that she is an extremely well-behaved baby, and at only two months she’s already making lots of trying-to-talk […]

The Weekend Report

The long weekend was great. We got two more rooms painted, the small bedroom and the upstairs bathroom. Now there’s only the 2nd bedroom/computer room, and the rest of the house to paint. Then it’ll be time for touch-up white on the baseboards and… elsewhere 🙂 Jordan came over and stayed with us for the […]

one down, seven to go…

We painted our bedroom on Saturday. I think it turned out quite well… it’s nice to have some colour on the walls finally! And to be able to hang things on the wall (which I have to get to… ulp) On Sunday was Sandy’s wedding shower! We got a bunch of various stuff for the […]

other crazy little things we’ve noticed

One of the vertical blinds at the sliding door at the back is broken right off the track. It’s at the end so it’s not very noticeable. The lock on the window in the living room is broken (half of it is missing) There are huge holes in the drywall everywhere. Patchy, patchy! One of […]

Newest Sculpture Garden Installation

This is much nicer than the last installation, which was a very scary gloss white baby’s head. This is actually a scale replica of the top 25 feet of the CN Tower. Maybe at lunch I’ll go and take photos of the two information sheets posted there. More about the sculpture garden from the City […]
