Homeward bound

Jan 15, 2009 20:16

Almost the end of my second week in Ottawa. The new job is still in the overwhelming-trying-to-get-a-handle-on-it phase but, all in all, I think there are opportunities for some really interesting work over the course of the next few weeks and the coming year ( Read more... )

"Ottawa shares the same incredibly poor signage and nowhere to stop design hallmarks as Canberra. I think it's a national capital design rule..."

It's intentional, confuses the invading army. Paris has the better military design, nice big long straight wide boulevards criss-crossing the city, also known as defensive artillery fire-lanes.

heh - Ottawa has the long circling "parkways" and drives so that before you know it, you're facing back the way you came... great for collateral damage! :)

What are you looking for in a phone?

Keith recommended to me the Sony W810, which is an older phone, but I am a monster (I beat them up) on my cell, and he advised me that it's one of the most durable. It is, and I like it. I've already dropped it a couple of times, once really brutally, and it still works.

That's all I got.
