studio204 redesign launch
I’ve just launched a redesign of the studio204 website. The client outlined the sort of layout he was looking for, followed some suggestions I made and gave me some freedom within that to tweak the various elements to make it a comprehensive, clean design. This is the first website on which I’ve implemented a hybrid…

quick sampler of taste of the danforth
I wasn’t there long, but the few moments I did experience of The Taste of the Danforth were certainly enough to last a while. I’ve been to a few restaurants in Greek town since moving to Toronto, including Myth (during Winterlicious – rather disappointing) and Pantheon, so I’ve already had some experience with the restaurants…

360 restaurant at the cn tower
An old friend from elementary school got in touch with me recently. She still lives in Ottawa where I went to school, but she came to visit and took me to 360 Restaurant at the CN Tower for a lovely catchup dinner. We ordered from the Dinner Prix Fixe menu: I started with the 360…

jays vs orioles, august 9th
A few weeks ago, I attended my first Blue Jays game. It was my second baseball game ever. (The first one I went to was a Lynx game in Ottawa; it was our grade 6 graduation “outing” I cannot remember whom they played, and it got rained out.) It was the August 9th, 2006, game…

body blitz water spa
After the gruelling Algonquin trip, my body was mostly aches and pains (though not as bad as last year; a testament to my much better diet and workout routine these days) so I made a visit to the women-only Body Blitz Water Spa. I knew I had to go within two days of returning from…

I’ve been remiss in my postings so far in August. Most people are away on holidays now anyway, so perhaps it will be barely noticed. In any case, I have many reviews of various events and locations I’ve attended lately, so expect a few posts to come. I’ll start with my recent trip to Algonquin…

A day trip out of Bangkok
One hot Saturday morning Dave and I got the driver, ‘Pon, from work to take us to Si Ayutthaya, or Ayutthaya as it is usually known. It is a province situated about 80km north of Bangkok and was once one of the most powerful states in Southeast Asia. For 417 years the city of Ayutthaya…

kayaking on the harbourfront
Two weekends ago, I attended a beginner’s kayaking course at the Toronto harbourfront. I’ve been kayaking before, but only once or twice – and never have I had lessons on how to paddle properly. So this course, suggested by my friend, intrigued me. The coolest thing about it was being able to see the city…
