For anniversaries and birthdays, I’m always hard pressed to find something I’d be proud to gift. When thinking of something to give for those big occasions, I’ve always considered an experience to be more thoughtful than a physical good (unless, of course, its an item that will provide more experiences down the road).
So for our [...]

The Tim Hortons Roll Up The Rim contest starts today! In keeping with the 5-year-old tradition, I am beginning my assignment of taking pictures and recording statistics of all my cups! Last year was a subpar record of 4-60, so hopefully this year I am lucky enough to beat it.
Having a fever and a loss [...]

Canoeing in Banff

Went Canoeing on Canada Day in Banff. A great way to spend the afternoon exploring the river and the mountain parks in general. Blue Canoe Rentals lets you take them out from downtown, although its bit pricey at $34 for the first hour + $20 every hour afterwards. Oh, and I’m surprised we never sank.

EY Christmas Party 2008

Given the situation of the economy, Ernst & Young had to tone down the Christmas party this year, which is a fairly agreeable solution… I think the biggest impact people noticed was changing the bar to a cash bar. Lucky for me, I’m done after one drink.
Anyways, we still had marvelous food, the entrees and [...]

Moving In – Timelapse

This past weekend, I packed up and moved out (November 22), and while we’re still unloading the boxes and getting everything back to normal, it still hasn’t dawned on me that I call Calgary home now.
We got a nice timelapse of the second part of the move (1 shot per minute, 15 frames per second), [...]

Cows on Mario Mushrooms

The cow makes a comeback, cleaner than ever, and now has an uncanny taste for Mario’s Super Mushrooms, 1-Ups, and even blue bubblegum shrooms.
Offended by the cow? You can also see the mushrooms without bovines.

Oilers vs. Flames Hockey Game

Steve and Ash were so kind to invite Michelle and I to a pre-season Flames hockey game at the Saddledome, versus the Edmonton Oilers on October 3rd. It was great because I have not seen a hockey game in over two years and it was Michelle’s first! The Oilers fought off a ridiculous amount of [...]

Calgary’s first (and Alberta’s second) Apple Store opened this past Saturday at 9:30am! Michelle and I arrived at roughly the same time as the Edmonton grand opening, and ended up being 33rd & 34th in line at 7:30am.

There were lots of similarities between the Calgary and the Edmonton Apple Store openings. First off, the first [...]

Regina, SK – Week One

So I’m typing this entry as I sit in a rather dark Regina airport on my birthday, a few minutes before boarding. I will say that being away from home on your birthday is an unfortunate side-effect of working remotely so often.
Anyways, to give you some background on Regina and my trip, there are some [...]
