This is a quick update on: Counting Calories. So, I’ve been sticking to my calorie goals fairly well, but my carb and veggie goals aren’t going so well. I can’t bring myself to eat enough veggies each day, and they go bad so quickly. Also, carbs are in everything that I like, even vegetables. I… Read more

Update: Thanks to Teksavvy for noting my post. For all those wondering, I haven’t had a second of downtime yet, and my speed remains constantly high. I’m super impressed. Tom, my neighbor suffered from 90 second disconnects once or twice a day. They were annoying, but not horrible. Teksavvy has been rock solid! I’m a… Read more

Research in Motion is a company that has lost its way. Thinking that it could hold onto their market share because they were business/enterprise focused was dumb, and it took them far too long to realize this. Now there are leaks of their upcoming operating system and hardware, and people probably won’t be too impressed.… Read more

Today, I’ve been spending some serious time getting my apartment sorted out. I’m slowly getting things organized and while I have a LONG way to go before I’m set-up, I’m happy that there is at least progress being made. Next weekend, for Canada Day, Tom and Tracey are holding an event, and I’ve offered my… Read more

Since it started getting warm out, I decided that walking to the grocery store every two or three days wasn’t smart for my comfort or sanity and instead found a grocery store that delivers. I knew that there would be an extra cost, and while groceries are already expensive, I knew that for the amount… Read more

After purchasing my new camera, I realized that I now have 120 gigabytes of secure digital storage, not including the 32GB of micro-SD in my phone. I remember when having that kind of storage in any format seemed impossible, or at least hugely expensive. I have the following: 3x 32GB Cards 1x 16GB Card 1x… Read more

So, while in Kingston a little while back, I got frustrated that I didn’t have my camera on me. I sometimes hate to lug the thing around as it can be awkward and heavy, and when I go visit Kyle, I rarely use it. We were walking around and doing a tour of downtown Kingston,… Read more

The first heatwave of the summer here in Ottawa is hopefully coming to a close. I ordered, received and installed an air conditioner at exactly the right time. I don’t do well in high heat, and I definitely couldn’t work on the computer that raises room temperature by a degree or two when the temperature… Read more

I never wanted to be the type of person to count calories, but I’ve started feeling super heavy, and the heat this summer is nearly unbearable. I know that if I was lighter, it wouldn’t be so hard for me to make it through my day, so it is with that in mind that I… Read more

Tracey, held her Ottawa Centre Class Party recently, and I was invited to shoot the event. It gave me a chance to try my photography skills at a dance event that isn’t as dimly lit as my previous attempt. I rented a 70-200 f2.8 L IS II lens (retails for $2500+) for the event from… Read more
