20080901 4:51am: I went to my first Cirque show!
Saltimbanco and it was *excellent*.. I laughed myself stupid, I got all palm sweaty when they were being all crazy on the swings (with no ropes at times!), and for most of it, could hardly believe what I was seeing. The characters were so unique and well
20080901 4:38am: keeping up with the virtual jonses, lees, Nováks, garcias and ??????'s
I recently finished reading Charles Stross' "HaltinG StatE" - an excellent fast-reading novel of a theft in virtual/real game/life. Coincidentally, I picked up a couple of sampler CDs at FanExpo, one of them was Entropia, the first virtual universe with a
20080822 10:19am: what we brag about
You can tell so much about people from the things they brag about .. and how long ago it happened. Like someone in their late 20s talking about something they did in school/university.. I barely remember that time of my life.
Anyway, this got me thinking
20080811 1:19am: summer of art and rainfall
Taking on two 3 hour classes per week (Foundation Drawing II and Abstract Painting) has been fantastic and tiring. I have barely had time to think, except to plan how I can spend more time doing art, and wondering if I will ever be any good :)Due to cons
20080505 3:55am: tagging gone mad
ROTFL.. well I just let tagcow at my flickr archive. It's an interesting concept of semantically tagging images. Presumably they have some object/facial recognition software behind this - although they don't specify what/how.

I'd like to share some happy news. One of my Australian photos - Brighton Beach (looking north to the city centre) - was selected for inclusion in the Schmap Australia Guide.
This is obviously a great way to promote their guide, and obtain free media, h
20080420 1:58am: Richard Stallman interview in New Scientist - on page 42 of course
The title is just trivia =) I dig hackers. I used to be in love with a guy who looks a lot like stallman back in uni - his name was fuzzy; he slept in his thesis lab and talked to god. Some people you just never get over :)
the rest of this post is for
20080412 12:40pm: Wanting to change
I'm beginning to realize the thoughtless or immature feelings and reactions are never going to go away. Growing up is learning to deal with them, and react appropriately.Quite frankly, I'm jealous of the people who seem to know how to react appropriately
20080409 10:39pm: Browser Options
It's good to see that with IE8, software developers are finally recognizing the value of choice.
Long gone are the days when anyone bothers complaining about browser implementations anymore.. We know there's always going to be workarounds, it's kind of l
20080407 12:22pm: cruising
I have my consulate stamped driving history and I'm ready to go for a driving test here in Ontario. To brush up, I rented a car for the weekend. I love driving :) I also picked up a cheap bike from canadian tire - a laid back cruiser. Finally we have some
