I Can Get Sick

Yesterday in the mail, I finally got that thing that made me feel completely Canadian, at home among these quiet yet docile creatures of the North. I received my BC CareCard, giving me access to unlimited health care. Oh, the awesome power I now wield!

Late Night Phone Call

Earlier tonight, a friend called me up though it was quite late—it was about 12:20 a.m., in fact. It reminded me of high school when staying up late was actually more common among my friends than it seems to be now. I have to say—I really enjoyed it.

Most Popular Tags on Flickr

Flickr, the online photo-sharing service, has a nifty word chart of what the most popular tags used are.  But they’re arranged in a big block, and I wondered what they’d look like if they were sorted by size.  So, I did that. I put the font size after the item, so you can have a slightly better idea of its relative importance.  Also, I love the fact that Flickr lists the top 145 tags.  Top 145? 150 was too extreme?

Latest Rogers Irritation

You know how once someone gets on your bad side, nothing they can do is right? Well, Rogers Cellular just pissed me off again.  They charged me a late payment of $0.90.

Counting Up the Shutter Releases

shutter_releases_small.gifThe online photo site Flickr lets me to see how many photos I’ve taken on my camera.  So far, it’s a little over 1,800 since Dec. 25, 2004, and that’s 76 photos a day, on average.  I’m definitely a little photo crazy.  What’s your photo count?

A Graceland Photo Journal

The King and His Bears

I took a trip to Graceland recently, and here are my photos from it. The house was modest, but impressive nonetheless.  This was the only tourist stop I made in a long journey across the U.S.—I think if you have to stop only one place, this had better be at the top of your list.

Overheard

“An unexamined life is not worth living.”

...who said it?

“BBFF (Best Bacon Friends Forever)”

...who said it?

“I find myself thinking of a checklist Wozniak wrote a few years ago describing how to become a genius. His advice was straightforward yet strangely terrible: You must clarify your goals, gain knowledge through spaced repetition, preserve health, work steadily, minimize stress, refuse interruption, and never resist sleep when tired. This should lead to radically improved intelligence and creativity. The only cost: turning your back on every convention of social life.”

...who said it?

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream.”

...who said it?

“Ever have something in your teeth that you cannot stop tonguing?”

...who said it?
