  • Twilight: Eclipse Review

    My Twilight: Eclipse review doesn’t need a really long article. There was too much of a focus on romance and endless talking. The new director changed the overall feel of the movie and not for the better. But, the saving grace was the action sequences, and they were a lot of fun to watch. Read more

  • Big Music Fest Owen Sound 2010

    Rant section: There was one thing that disappointed me more than anything else about Big Music Fest Owen Sound: no cameras. On the website, it explicitly said that no cameras or recording devices were allowed, and when we arrived, there was also a big sign, but this time it said “no professional cameras or recording… Read more

  • This Weekend: Movie and Music

    Sabine is coming to my place tonight and we are going to go see the new Twilight movie: Eclipse. I am hoping for some decent action sequences to keep me awake, and I am sure Sabine is looking forward to action in concert with romance. Then tomorrow, we are heading back to Owen Sound for… Read more

  • My First Pictures with My Canon T2i

    I took some images of local buildings, a garden, and a few other things to test out my camera, and to help with some work related stuff. No really interesting pictures in this bunch, but check out my Flickr for more pictures as I add them and take them. Read more

  • Future Idea: Battery Replacement for Cars

    Another idea that I had foresight in was how battery powered vehicles would “refuel”. Recently, Tokyo had a battery replacement system installed, and a few electric taxis were able to beta test it. Here is a piece of the article from Tech ON: In the test, the company uses three EVs as taxis. And it… Read more

  • Future of Computing: I Was Right

    Over on a blog I operated a while back, I discussed the future of computer operating systems and how I thought that user profiles should follow you anywhere. Today, I started seeing reports on potential features for the next version of Windows, and one of those, listed on .Net Zone was the following: Portable Profiles… Read more

  • Bad Saver: Me or Why I Bought a DSLR

    I am happy to announce that I just ordered the Canon Digital EOS T2i that I’ve been wanting (read my previous post: Camera I Would Like to Own: Canon Digital Rebel T2i). I probably should have waited longer, but I ended up getting a little money from the sale of the house, and I’ve been… Read more

  • One Year on August 5th, 2010

    One Year on August 5th, 2010

    Someone at work asked me when my anniversary of working for the County would be. August 5th, 2010 will be my first full year at the County of Bruce. I haven’t held many jobs for a year, as I usually get bored or some crazy circumstance leaves me changing jobs before a year is up.… Read more

  • Earthquake

    Today, there was an earthquake in Quebec, and I was able to feel it all the way here in Walkerton. At first, I assumed it was just me, and then my co-worker looked at me and was like “do you feel that?” I thought the slight trembles must have been coming from something outside, and… Read more

  • Heroscape: More Fun at Lunch

    Heroscape: More Fun at Lunch

    So yesterday I talked about playing foosball at work during lunches at work, but another thing we do from time to time is play Heroscape. This is a newer addition to lunches, since one of my co-workers owns a big set of it, and I was willing to play. My office mate got dragged into… Read more
