  • Tattoo Update

    My tattoo is super itchy. I can’t wait till it is done healing. I am already wanting to get another… Read more

  • iPhone 4: Should I Really Get One?

    I was just thinking about the life of minimalism that I would love to live, and also my hatred of phones. I am definitely a fan of having what basically is a computer in my pocket, especially one that is connected to the Internet, but do I really need to get an iPhone? Does it… Read more

  • Weekends Without Money

    This weekend, I don’t have anything planned. I don’t have any client work set up. I don’t have any money I can spend. I think this is one of those weekends where I charge up my camera, look for local events and take some pictures. Though it can’t be an event that’s very far as… Read more

  • Teeth are Expensive

    Recently, I started going to the dentist now that I have benefits. It has been many years since I last sat in a dentist chair. It isn’t because I don’t like dentists, but instead because I could never make them a priority when I knew it would cost me hundreds of dollars every visit. Well,… Read more

  • Learning at My Job

    Don’t ask questions when working for the government. It only creates frustration. No one wants to teach. Just be quiet, keep your head down and do your work. If you want to learn something new, then research it and learn it yourself, or try to convince management that you need to go away on a… Read more

  • My First Tattoo

    Around two months ago, I decided I wanted to finally get my first tattoo. I have wanted one for over eight years now, and finally I’ve made it a reality. If you’ve been on my Flickr account, you’ve already seen some pictures of it. I got it done at Neo-primitive Tattoo and Piercings in Hanover,… Read more

  • Capitalism

    I was just watching Capitalism: A Love Story, not one of my favourite movies from Michael Moore, and something struck me: capitalism only works in locally contained markets. One of the things that ruined the capitalist ideal is the fact that businesses could outsource to cheaper labour in less developed areas, getting supplies from cheaper… Read more

  • Time Flies

    I can’t believe how fast the months are speeding by. July has rushed on by and with a week left, I am now looking forward to figure out what my days and nights hold for me in August, September and onwards. Yesterday, I went to Toronto for Cross Media TO, a great conference that I’ll… Read more

  • Why I Don’t Sponsor Children in Third World Countries

    When I first moved into the house in St. Thomas, every company that has people canvasing descended on the area and tried to get us to sign up for various things. One of those people was one of those “sponsor a child in Africa” style companies. I ended up saying no, despite the person doing… Read more

  • Another Funny Picture That Made My Day

    Sabine had a hamster that did this kind of thing, but never to this extreme, and I never got a great photo like this one. Absolutely hilarious. Read more

  • Passwords, Passwords and More Passwords

    One of the most frustrating things at my work is the number of passwords. We have a manager in place to help us find the right passwords for the right things, but if someone forgets to update the password in the right spot, then confusion ensues. It has definitely already been a frustrating morning for… Read more
