I know this poll is mostly biased towards Canon/Nikon users but oh well! So if you're a Nikon/Canon user, let me know which type of cell phone you own. I'm curious.

Today I noticed that insideniagara.com redirects to Yahoo! Canada. Strange. I check that site regularly for movie listings...

Update: As a result, I built a quick movie reference page for Cineplex theatres in the Niagara Region: miklos.ca/cineplex_niagara.

It was treated as an oddball twist in the otherwise wrenching saga of the BP oil spill when Kevin Costner stepped forward to promote a device he said could work wonders in containing the spill's damage. But as Henry Fountain explains in the New York Times, the gadget in question - an oil-separating centrifuge - marks a major breakthrough in spill cleanup technology. And BP, after trial runs with the device, is ordering 32 more of the Costner-endorsed centrifuges to aid the Gulf cleanup.

I remember driving through the town of Edelény (starting at photo #22 in the gallery) ... crazy stuff.

Driving around the country for 4 days straight sure takes a lot out of you! Tomorrow is a day of rest. The day after that, down to Apagy. As I said before, check out the photos from the trip: http://jui.cc/dw

Hungary is awesome so far. We've driven practically everywhere... View the photos in my flickr stream.

I got the idea when I tried to find out more about some photos I found on a flea market. Trying to discover where they were taken I looked around my city, found the locations and took photos to compare then and now. Mixing them was just a experiment and because I was happy with the result I decided to do the same with other historical photos. I am a historical consultant for film, tv, authors, museums, etc. and I even have a 1930s lifestyle. History is part of my daily life, I can’t help but see the shadows of the past.

Found in a PetaPixel post.

I don't know how I missed this video up until today...

We're going to Hungary next month, and we have to jump through hoops to get Nikki's passport. They didn't accept her birth certificate, it was "void", so we have to wait until one arrives that cost us $65 because we added an extra $30 to the price to make sure it gets here in 5 business days. Anyway, back to the passport thing... Here's a beautiful document justifying why a Canadian passport costs $87CAD: http://www.ppt.gc.ca/support/faq.aspx?lang=eng&id=540

The fee for an adult passport is CAN$87. Of this amount, CAN$25 is used to recover the costs incurred by the Department of Foreign Affairs in providing consular services to Canadians abroad.

As for the remaining CAN$62, the breakdown is as follows:

- 47% towards security fees (e.g.: examination, guarantor checks)
- 43% towards production fees (e.g.: material, printing)
- 6% towards administration fees (e.g.: business sustaining)

Couple of questions arise:

1) Isn't the abbreviation for Canadian Dollars "CAD"

2) "For the remaining $62, the breakdown is as follows" ... 47%+43%+6% = 96% ... What? Where's the extra 4% going?

3) Let's forget the mistakes on the site, do our taxes not already pay for government employees to sit on their ass and do their job? Or is their job strictly to sit on their ass and collect good money? Any "actual" work gets added on and broken down into 47%=THEIR already paid manual labour, 43% WE pay for their ink and paper and 6% administration fee a.k.a. just to round it off to 100% .. or wait...

What a bunch of bull.

Dave and I had an idea years and years ago about a website that would show projects in the Niagara region. This new government site is close to it, but not quite as detailed as what we had in mind.

I would've never thought that a place like this exists.

In case you weren't following, Canada just won gold against USA. Our friend Mr. Varga was on the edge of his seat.

This static site probably took a long time to build. But beyond that, note this guy's résumé.

Looks like most of the area is covered now. Drag the little guy above the zoom slider onto Welland.

(Shit... jui.cc picks the URL codes randomly and it came up with AQ for the above news article... I take back what I said... maybe Bin Laden is real and is controlling everything!)
