Why I Love Windows

Today I plugged my iPhone into my laptop at work and this message came up: "One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it." Oh no!! Malfunctioned?? What do I do? Well, the recommendation is as follows: " Try reconnecting the device. If Windows still does not recognize it, replace the device." Is this a clever Bill Gates joke?

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

These are some of my photos from a roll of slide film I shot a while ago, when the grass was green and the air was fresh.

I'm Going to Kathmandu!

As the title so helpfully suggests, I am going to the Himalayas to hike to my hearts desire! So far I've booked the trip, bought my flights and insurance and now it's just the painful waiting for the day the plane leaves. I suppose I should get into shape now, eh? Annapurna here I come!!

Yay! My Life Didn't Suck Today! (And It Could Have)

Although I am not feeling overly jocose today, I am still inspired to attempt to make a blog post. I am afraid I have been quite slack this summer, not because nothing happened, but because everything happened.

You by now are thinking "Okay, okay, get to the point. Why doesn't your life suck today?" Well well well. I was up in Swan Hills doing an investigation on a relay that was tripping and not two minutes on site and we had found the problem. So as we were heading back to Edmonton, we went through Barrhead as it was "quicker." It also has a school zone. It also has two police cruisers driving through said school zone. It also has Ronan doing 80km/h when he hit said school zone. Thankfully the RCMP hired a nice policeman and he let me off without a ticket, but that could have been bad... exceedingly bad.

These shots were taken in April of 2006. Kinda dated and crappy but I have not much else in my library worth posting. And posting videos on the web is H-core! lolz!

Bungee Jump

Here is a video of me jumping off a bridge near Nanaimo BC. The bridge is 140 feet high with 80 feet of free fall. I wasn't going to do it but Jessica went so I couldn't let her show me up. Note the fear in my eyes as I look death in the peepers.
