Eating Healthy Isn’t Always Fun
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…

Teksavvy Internet
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…

Idea to Help Save RIM
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…

Slowly Putting My Apartment Together
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…

Delivered Groceries Help Weight Loss
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…

120 Gigs of SD Memory
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…

New Camera: Panasonic DMC-GF2
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…

Summer Heat
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…

Counting Calories
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…

OCCP – Ottawa Belly Dance Party
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…

Gaming This Summer
I don’t know if I’ve written about this before, but I’ve basically decided to take the summer off from gaming, and as such, I haven’t been playing Star Wars, Minecraft or League of Legends. I’ve been trying to focus more of my time and attention on other things, and it…

Still Amazed by Gravity Forms
You would think that after a month and a half of working with rocketgenius supporting their (or our?) Gravity Form plugin, I would be less amazed by the near magic it creates within WordPress, but thankfully, the users I’ve been supporting continue to find new and interesting ways to twist…
