  • One Final Post to Ring Out the Year

    I just wanted to post to say Merry Christmas (although a bit late – I’ve been busy!) and Happy New Year! I had a lovely Christmas weekend, a crazy final week of 2005, and am about to embark upon a New Year’s dinner to celebrate the beginning of 2006. Love to you all!

  • I’m dreaming of a white Christmas

    Can’t believe it.69 /20 degrees when I went onto the balcony yesterday AM for breakfast.The pool was 75 on Sunday, with an air temperature of 74. No doubt we will be breaking the ice on the pool on Christmas day.So – let it snow, let it snow, let it snow . . We’ve had our…

  • pdonda.com

    I just finished coding my friend’s portfolio site, pdonda.com. It took quite a bit of fine-tuning with CSS IE hacks to make it work in both Mozilla and IE, but it now does. You should go look – Peter has a very interesting outlook on designing, and I’m chuffed with my HTML+CSS (and a bit…

  • rfi – radio france

    I can’t believe my luck. I found the Radio France electronica radio program yesterday, and they uploaded their redesigned website that very night.

Hanoi press talks about traffic jams, but they really mean bike jams, as the…

  • the education of me through television stereotypes

    I had the misfortune of seeing my first full episode of Sex and the City last night, as I pounded my feet on the treadmill. After the shows I’ve been watching, such as Dead Like Me and Desperate Housewives, finally seeing Sex and the City was quite the disappointment. The quality of Sex and the…

  • Life in Toronto

    I can’t tell if anyone other than my parents is reading this blog anymore. Anybody out there? Hellloooo? Hehe 🙂 I wasn’t going to do this until I redesigned the site, but I’ve added the link to my portfolio and weblog to the right of this entry, as part of my supplemental links. I post…

    I went to a Flash in Toronto event a while back, and had the pleasure of meeting Kajica of MediaBright. He gave me the opportunity to help him work on his latest project: InDance. Kajica designed and coded the site. I helped out with the backend Flash and photograph organization. It was a great opportunity…
