MediaLounge

New gadget report: We have added a D-Link MediaLounge to our home theater.  It is a nifty little device that streams media from your PC, over your wireless LAN, to your TV, in high-definition.  It can also play media directly from a USB hard drive, which has come in handy as I have been working [...]

24 & Work-Life Balance

A friend loaned me his DVDs of the TV series “24″, which I had never previously watched.  I started with seasion one, and I must say it is quite an entertaining series.  I am now about half-way through season two, and am firmly hooked.  Season six is starting in a matter of days, which I [...]

Goodbye Corddry

We are experiencing the results of hurricane Ernesto, which means lots of rain. The lawn will be green, at least. Luckily there were no outdoor plans for us anyways.

Christopher Reeve

Sad to hear about the passing of Christopher Reeve. Aside from being known for his quintisential portrayal of Superman, Reeve’s legacy was his tireless work to improve the lives of those suffering from paralysis.

Stratford

We spent the afternoon and evening on Saturday in Stratford. The town is small but quite nice, with lots of little shops and restaurants. After eating a tasty caramel apple and some very tasty chocolate, we shopped around and bought a few pieces of art for our house, all at reasonable prices. Four small pictures [...]

First Aid

Over two days last week at work, I took a first aid course offered by Saint John Ambulance. I’ve been interested in learning some first aid for a while; of course you hope you will never need it, but in case you do it’s comforting to know that in an emergency you may be able [...]

New York Cafe

This morning we went for breakfast at the New York Cafe, right around the corner from our place. It’s a nice greasy-spoon with great
prices–breakfast for two for $10 is fine with me.
I finished reading Michael Moore’s “Dude, Where’s my Country?” today, and I have to say it was refreshing to hear a perspective so different [...]

Back in Calgary

I write this tonight from my suite at the Mariott in Calgary, where I find myself for a few days to meet with some of my fellow network team members at our Calgary data centre, and tommorow to meet with one of our customers.
Today I discovered that I have been to Calgary enough to be [...]
