Nikki found her sleeping like this today.

She's been known to sleep in weird positions.

I had the Salmon Teriyaki -- delicious!

I bought 2 tickets to Hungary today. They are for April. Apparently weather is nice there late April. Anyway, we're pretty excited! This will be my second visit within 2 years.

You gotta admire this program's Engrish...

I first heard about the Monty Hall Problem in grade 10 finite class... And I never understood it... Then I forgot about it. Somehow I just thought of it and realized I still don't understand. Thanks to the Wikipedia article and its illustrations, I finally get it.

Welcome to yet another "duh" moment of my life! :)

I tried this one photo a day for 365 days thing but I only lasted 13 days legitimately :) I haven't posted since the 13th... However, I caught up with some random stuff around the kitchen and will try to continue even though it's more like a 363 day project now...

We put the Mazda back on the road. It's such a drastic difference between that car and a brand new car. So many noises, sounds... Poor thing, she's mad at me for having her off the road for 5 months.

I will (try to) take/post a photo every day this year:

Peter found a nicer picture of my new watch.

Christmas dinner at Alex's house was a success! Good work Alex for finishing your kitchen in time. (I don't think we said it but we're proud of you.) Thanks to mom and dad for all their help as well. As for presents, there were lots! Amongst all the stuff I got was a Citizen Eco-Drive watch from Nikki. This puts an end to my forever long search for watches... I think! :)

This helped me out today: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/83931-workgroup-password.html

We got a bit of snow this morning... I mean not much, but nonetheless it is a reminder of the long winter ahead of us.
See today's photo archives.

Last year we started a tradition of dressing Peanut up for Halloween. This year the tradition continues. There's nothing like when you walk in the house at 11:30pm and a dog in a butterfly outfit runs at you barking...

Back when Obama was 100 days in office, I made a site called howlonghasobamabeenpresident.com as sort of a gag... Not many people visit it, and I don't really expect them to - it's a gag site! Anyway it's interesting to note that in the recent weeks, people have been searching "how long has obama been president" more frequently. On October 9th, for example, 32 people found the site because they searched those keywords. Why are people searching this all of a sudden? Is it around that time when people start wondering? I guess when the answer "less than a year" isn't enough...

I was browsing eBay for watches (like I usually do) and saw a "Make Offer" button on a watch that I kind of liked... So I bid $10 lower than the price of the watch. The seller accepted. So now I own this:

If you're in Welland and cross the Lincoln Street, Division Street or Ontario Street bridges often, this year--seemingly more so than other years--you'll see a bunch of Double-crested Cormorants occupying the top of the light posts. Just now on the way back to work after my lunch break I actually had to swerve out of the way to avoid a giant spray of crap that one was trying to baptize my car with. If you look, they have left a huge mess on the ground and all over the light posts. Rain doesn't even wash it away... so imagine that going on your car and being caked on there. Their crap is so acidic that the trees they nest on can actually die because of it. Anyway, I'm glad they found the Welland canal and are providing this city with a bit of excitement.

The Forte's first oil change takes place at 8am. It's almost like seeing your child off on the first day of daycare. Almost. I don't really know though, as I don't have children...

Mr. Salanki once said to try coffee with nothing but honey in it. We all thought it was strange, but after messing with the ratio of coffee to honey--if you get it right--it's actually quite good. Mr. Salanki makes homemade honey, I would guess he's tried it in a lot of different foods/drinks. I've got some of his honey that I've been putting in my coffee lately and this morning's ratio turned out to be perfect. Worth recording anyway...

Michael from PetaPixel posted an interview with me. Read it here.

There are tons of pastebins out there, but I needed one for myself so here's my take. Keep in mind that more features will be added as time goes on.

Went for a drive with Nikki and my sister at 6am and caught the sunrise over Niagara Falls. You can find some photos of it in the archives. Too bad Nikki's camera died and she couldn't enjoy it fully.

Back to cottage cheese and pear halves.

I lowered the prices on prints to be a bit more reasonable while still making a bit of profit... I tried chromasia's pretentious pricing scheme initially but that seemed like a bit of a ripoff! So now, coupled with the 25% off the first 100 pritns coupon, you can't go wrong. I know there are over 1800 photos on the site, but there are a few ways of browsing them: tags, random photo, random page, random tag or the traditional chronological archives. I'm sure there's something that I can print for you to fill a space in your house :) You can even send me your ideas of photos you'd like to see on here, and I'll see if I can do it (as long as your request is reasonable of course.)

Browse the photos and if you decide to purchase one, use the coupon code 24CEBE to get 25% off. First 100 sales only.

You can now buy prints of selected photos. Visit the prints page for more information.

The Rona MS Bike Tour is in 2 days. If you haven't pledged me online yet, please do so here. I thank you for your support!

This past week I put a roll of black and white film in the Rolleiflex and shot most of it on Wednesday when we took my cousin Anita to Toronto. Yesterday we developed the roll in my basement and the pictures turned out fairly decent. See them in today's archives.

I forgot to mention this a couple of days ago but after a lot of searching, we came up with a name for the rescued kitten. It is Mixi, or Mix for short. (She has her own tag now in the photos archive :)).

For those wondering, she'd doing great. She's been taking her medication all week... her eye is healed now. She's still living at my brother's place because of the respiratory infection that she hasn't gotten rid of yet. I'll be giving her medicine for the next couple of days for that but the sneezing doesn't seem to bother her much, she's completely full of life chasing after flies (and catching them in mid air about 2.5 feet off the ground!) Lots more photos to come I'm sure.
