Recently I've spent some time on ebay looking for camera equipment. One of the camera makers has the same name as a company that makes industrial lasers and related equipment. This leads to some interesting results. My favourite so far was the water cooled mirror.

My new bike is a big change from what I'm used too. It'll be a few days before I'm confident taking it out into traffic. It's a good thing the skytrain allows bikes now or I'd have never gotten it home.

Also, I'm definitely going to need to buy a new seat.

I was at a bar last night with some friends and a really bad song I hadn't heard before came on. I found myself thinking, "this isn't music. It's just noise and some chick singing." It's only a matter of time before I start yelling at kids to get off my lawn ( Read more... )

Prawns just came into season so for the next couple of months I can buy fresh prawns a couple blocks from work. I was looking up some prawn recipes and found one for "barbequed prawns". This sounded perfect since I like prawns and have a barbeque. I was a little surprised to see that the recipe did not involve either bbqs or prawns. Instead, it ( Read more... )

I ended up staying later than I originally intended and smoked more cigars than I really should have. Then I had to get up stupidly early to catch ( Read more... )

Today was the first time when finger pain didn't make me stop practicing the guitar. Today it was wrist/forearm pain from weird contorted finger positions. Yay progress.

Hopefully I'll be able to find a copy of rock band soon so I can go back to the kind of guitar I can play.

I haven't posted in a while so I figured that now was as good a time to do it as any.  I had a relaxing Christmas at my parent's place in Ontario.  They live in a small town with a big Mennonite population.  There are lots of horses and buggys driving on the side of the road.  My parents have a new puppy so I spent most of my time there playing ( Read more... )

Huzzah! I has a costume. I am almost finished converting the girly rabbit mask I bought into a darker, Frank the rabbit mask. Now I just need a fur suit.

Edit: The kind without kinky holes in it.
