God I love Bill, he's so damn funny now.He always was, but he's really become a comic genius in the last decade I feel.Plus, roasting George Lucas makes it even more priceless.

Check out this weird weather happening in Newfoundland.It's called an "ice push" and I guess it happens when the air is freezing and the ocean not far from it... it's like snow being plowed out of the ocean, very weird.

OK, so I couldn't resist looking for some more music related demo's of this type of multi touch screen technologies.I don't feel like this approaches the "full interactivity" that I imagine, but it's still a pretty cool fader system.

2007-02-02T13:19:00.000-08:00

OK, this has to be one of the coolest computer interfaces that I've ever seen. It makes me wonder instantly... "what could you do with sound if you could interact with it the way they are interacting with images".Imagine being able to drop on instruments to a flowing loop, bring the pitch and tempo up and down by dragging your hand, slowing it in parts, dropping in new soundscapes... Ummmm

Gmail - Is your website www.gmail.com offline, or why can't I find it on Yahoo?You gotta love the emails that tell you that for only a few hundred bucks... they'll get Gmail (apparently now my website) to rank better on Google and Yahoo's search index.OMG... do people really fall for these idiots?

Cool weather here in Vancouver, this is a shot on the 25th of November down Union Street in Vancouver's wonderfull Strathcona (my home) neighbourhood.Feast your eyes as it's a rare site to see this much snow in Vancouver. Putting up your Christmas lights is more fun then ever too :)

OK, so now I'm feeling old.Not only am I now closing the gap between me and 40... but now...My daughter had her first sleep over party.The small but very noisy gathering went off without a hitch... Much screeming, giggling and make over fun was had by all and they all went home tired and cranky the next day as they should after any good party.Guess I've moved from Rave Parties to Slumber

Trying to quit smoking...I've tried on and off for several years to quit smoking cigarettes...While I don't generally smoke anymore day to day, I still do fall off that QUIT SMOKING wagon.I found a site recently that has all sorts of good information about quitting smoking on it.I've been reading up on the health aspects a little more to try to get myself more repulsed by the whole smoking thing.
