Department of Unintended Truths: “If you’re convinced your talents deserve a captive audience, why not make Singapore the next stop on your resume.” -Contact Singapore ad, Wired Magazine, April 2001.

Monday morning, getting in to a busy week at work. This week I’m preparing the final report for my project. Today is data crunch day. My best intentions to scale back on the choirs and try some other hobbies seem to have been partially foiled by my friends. Stephanie and Kelly invited me to join […]

I’d be interested to hear from anyone reading this site whether there would be interest in me setting up an interactive blog page, where you could write entries as well. I’d have to set up each contributor manually within Blogger, but if there’s any interest I’d like to try it. I’m not sure what the […]

Played squash with Sean Morley this evening… He creamed me 9-1, 9-3, 9-1, 9-4, 9-5. I definitely need some practice. We’re going to try and play regularly once he gets back from vacation in a couple of weeks. I also need to join the club (the University Club of Toronto) again.

You know, you might imagine that since I’m not travelling I would have more time to update my web log on a regular basis. So far, nix. Work’s been pretty busy, and there are a ton of projects backing up at home. This weekend I went home to Guelph to see my parents and pick […]

I’ve been back in town since last Thursday, now on my fifth day, and I’m only starting to get into my list of projects that have been building up for the last year. As tomorrow is the last day of RRSP season I’ve got to jump online this afternoon and transfer some money in a […]

The flight yesterday was great although the weather did not fully cooperate; after a couple of days of sun, the clouds moved in and there was a light rain falling by the time we got aloft. However, the winds were quite light and there wasn’t much turbulence. After a bit, though, I discovered that my […]

It’s lunch time — actually 1:30 — on Wednesday, and I’m still full from dinner yesterday. We had a very nice turnout for my farewell dinner, and Craig presented me with some BAF tchotchke that he and his daughter had accessorized with stickers advertising the web site we’ve been developing. I was quite moved. My […]

As a farewell and an appeal to come back, Seattle has offered up some wonderful weather this week. It is sunny and bright outside, and “the mountain” (Mount Ranier) is clearly visible to the south, towering over the Cascades. I’m wrapping up work on a complex (for me, anyway) Flash tutorial, and trying to clear […]

Back at work on Monday after a wonderful weekend skiing at Whistler. We were a bit delayed in leaving Seattle (a rare blizzard struck the city Thursday night) but by the time we arrived on Friday in the early afternoon all our troubles were behind us. The snow conditions were great, all of the runs […]
