From the “My first release party” Dept. Went down to the Revival with Ann tonight for the Jasmine Magazine release party, part deux. Met up with Nirvan and Thomas. A good turn out, lots of folks from Waterloo. Crowd was kind of the stiff. No vibe. A bummer really. I bumped into Chung, we must…

From the “I love slacking at work” Dept. Nick and I went downtown to the Second City Comedy Hall to view a small seminar on the Online Automotive Industry. Quite enlightening. Speakers ranged from Ford, Wunderman, BlastRadius (Mini.ca), ADEO (Nissan Canada – Shift_Expectations) and Volvo. It was interesting to see what other companies are doing.…

From the “Older and Wiser” dept. Hey all, My Birthday passed last Saturday. Jen arranged dinner at Medieval Times, Toronto. I had a good time. I’ve been an Dungeons & Dragons nut for a while (although I don’t actively play anymore, I do own a set of there 3rd Edition Rules—just to read—No really, just…

From the “A good string of luck” Dept. It was a great B-day. On Friday, I called Infonec Computers to get the status of my RMA. It finally came. So I rushed my ass there and picked up my new mobo with only 5-minutes to spare—the store was just about to close. I ran back…

From the “A great victory was won today” Dept. So after after more than 6 hours of deliberation, I finally convinced the team that my model for inter-application parameter passing was the correct, most user friendly implementation. It was a good day for your “Friendly Neighborhood Usability Guru”

From the “It has begun” Dept. Wendy and Henry got married on Saturday. It was a glorious day. The weather was perfect. No screw ups in the ceremony. It was great to see the two of them get hitched. I gave my pictures to Kevin. When he is done, he will have it uploaded to…

From “It’s been a hard week” Dept. I’ve been looking forward to the weekend—as I’m sure that all of you have. Wendy and Henry commit their marital nuptuals tomorrow—should be a fun time. I’m tired—seriously stressed the passed few days. I’ve been doing Quality Assurance on the applications that we are building; confirming business functionality.…

From the “Wishful thinking.” Dept. What would be perfect right now would be for Infonec to call and say my mobo is ready to be picked up. I could assemble my computer and burn it in tomorrow while I’m at the wedding. -T

From the “Congrats to Collin and Cheryl” Dept. Cheryl and Collin got engaged last week while vacationing in Maui. Congratulations are in order! Unfortunately Collin didn’t consult the boyz and he ended up buying a 1.32 ct. daimond engagement ring. Punk. How are the boyz and I suppose to “manage“ the expectations of our women…
