On Friday, as part of a super-busy weekend containing two art shows (though I missed one of them), two birthday parties (made it to both), meetings and a Wintersleep concert (okay, well, it sounded busy to me), I went to one of the art shows.

The original plan was to go with a friend who had [...]

Setting the way-back machine to January 15th, just hours before my departure from Halifax for St. John’s, Dad, Judy, Simon and I went out for a quick meal at a new place out in Eastern Passage called The Alehouse. Or something like that. The details are a little fuzzy. I mean, that was a long [...]

I’m in the process of editing a few photos and the computer brought up the usual cantankerous warning message “Are you sure you want to open 30 items” with the typical computer yes/no answer to either okay it or cancel entirely.

But where’s the happy middle ground? What if I’m not sure I want to open [...]

On Sunday, squeezed in between pie and conjuring a website out of Adobe Flash, I managed to make it to an event organized by FEASt (Food Education Action – St. John’s). They’re a local group dedicated to education of food issues and there’s a bit of a partnership between them and the St. John’s Farmers’ [...]

November is a bit of a funny month, isn’t it? The whole thing feels like one long gossip-fest, with everyone talking about one thing: Christmas and how it is far too early.

We all know the conversations, invariably going on the same sort of theme:
Scrooge: My neighbor has their tree up already! Bah!
Grinch: Oh yeah? My neighbor’s tree [...]

Way back in ‘98 I used to play a game called “Rescue!” back on my Performa 5200CD — which, really, was an iMac, except it was called a Performa and came out several years before the iMac did. I say precursor. Anyway, it did have the same all-in-one concept going for it. Also featured a [...]

Why do I keep finding this stuff, take pictures of it, and get odd looks?
Well, the latter is actually pretty self-explanatory really, isn’t it. I do get strange looks from people fairly often it seems.
I also realize that I need a lens that does more than ƒ4.0 (for those that don’t know, it’s an aperture [...]

I managed to rescue this from my back pocked before the jeans got washed. These were my very sad directions to a Multi-Cultural Festival here in St. John’s and personally, I’m a little amazed I made it myself. Particularly with the “???” street that wasn’t listed in Google Maps. Apparently I also didn’t think it [...]

A very small part of the excitement of the trip I just took to Gros Morne was that I would finally get to use the new toothbrush holders I bought not that long ago. It would seem, for my entire life, the solution to taking a toothbrush while traveling was to wrap it in a [...]

On the drive back from Gros Morne, the idea of decorating my place for Hallowe’en with these guys somehow crept its way into my mind and was too good to pass up. Not only that, but it’s been expanded to the St. John’s Farmers’ Market on Saturday (though they don’t know it yet).
If you like [...]
