Weight Loss Update – End of July
So, someone asked me how my weight loss is going, and I had to hang my head a bit. I am still sitting in the mid-280’s. I thought I would be out of the 280’s by now, but during and after camping, I sort of hit a brick wall both…

Money, Camera, Stuff
So, my camera is having more and more problems. Sometimes it won’t turn on. Other times, after a bit of shooting, it gives me an error 20 which is a shutter related error. I’ve taken more than 40,000 shots with my little Rebel, and it has been to Cuba and…

Camping with Friends
Recently, I went on a weekend camping trip with my cousin Mark and his friends. There were six of us that went in one small car, and one motorcycle. It was definitely packed to the max, but it was a great time. Unfortunately, we weren’t allowed any camp fires due…

Big John’s Beef Jerky

Tom – My Older “Brother”
Tom, my neighbor and friend has been blogging quite a bit this week, and I wanted to take a second to do two things: promote his great articles, and talk about my relationship with him. So first, go and check out his blog: Leroux.ca. This week, he has posted a…

Canada Day 2012
Yesterday, I had my second Canada Day in downtown Ottawa. The last time was many years ago with Sabine. This time, I went early and caught a few snaps of things being set-up. This was great because it wasn’t too crowded yet, nor was it too hot. I wasn’t really…

The Right Camera Equipment
As I decide to push myself forward in learning photography, I’m starting to go outside my comfort zone more and more. Recently, I signed up for an Ottawa Photography Meetup that will have me doing the following: Join us for a morning of body art featuring the incomparable Kory as…

Via Preference Points
Today, I spent some preference points, my first time doing so, on train tickets to bring me to Kingston in early July. I love going to the movies, and so I was constantly collecting Scene points and getting to see free movies, but that was ten or fifteen dollars worth.…
