Skating And Other Stuff…
I went for a skate this morning with Dave, the first of the year. I’m hoping to make Sunday mornings a regular thing. It’s nice to get out, plus, if I skated more than a handful of times each year I might progress past the just-beyond-noob sticking point that I’m currently at. I’m most interested [...]
Since I've Been Back…
Well I’ve been back for a little over a week now, so what have I been doing? First up, I wanted to post all of the daily entries from the trip, and, after sorting through a bunch of photos, I’ve retrospectively added some pictures to go along with what happened each day. It felt a [...]
That's It, That's All
My sister bought me That’s It, That’s All for my birthday; I’ve watched it twice this week. She also bought me this season’s Absinthe movie, Ready, for Christmas (wow, I’m easy to buy for). Of the two, I much prefer Travis’ movie, it’s pretty sick. Despite being a big Absinthe fan (futureproof, more, optimistic…), I [...]

Busy Weekend
With less than a week before we leave for Morzine, it’s been a busy weekend. I was kinda hoping to get a chance to post about some of the stuff that’s been going on, but it’s about midnight on Sunday evening, and I wanna go to bed. Here’s a brief run-down – maybe I’ll get [...]
Amazon MP3 Store
I’m an occassional music purchaser, both real CDs and the MP3 kind. I used to buy music all the time, but not so much these days. I’m an iTunes user. Like millions of people I’ve got an iPod, so I need it, but I kinda like the software too. I also buy music through iTunes [...]
New Digital SLR… Which One?
Isn’t it cool how in the space of a couple of days you can drastically change your requirements, and convince yourself you need something new and bigger? Here’s what happened… I’ve got this review for the wsg coming up soon and I want good photos. Currently I’ve got an old, Pentax Optio s5i, with the [...]
