Portfolio Site

So I finally got around to revamping my portfolio site. I’m still working on adding content, fixing glitches, etc. But for now, any feedback would be greatly appreciated :)….

We All Live in Google Time

Well, look at that — Google now has a calendar. And as with most good things, you can make your life easier by subscribing to other people’s public calendars. For instance, you can stalk me by reading my list of…

Broken Cast

A couple of days ago I got a recording machine in my mailbox. Laura was really excited about it, until I told her what I was going to do with it. “I’m going to record everything,” I said. And she…

Camera To a Good Home

I just posted my Fuji FinePix (that tiny monster of a camera) for sale on eBay. It’s not easy letting go of it — that camera and I shared many intimate moments and struck countless seductive poses together. And now…

It’s What We Do in Canada

If you thought Flickr was exciting, just wait until I tell you what terminus1525.ca can do! <insert pregnant pause> It allows you to share your art! “But isn’t that exactly what Flickr does?” you ask….

The Elephant, He Told Me So

I wasn’t going to do it this year, but somehow I ended up inheriting my Visionary Indian Friend’s DSLR after he acquired some bitching ocular implants. And let me tell you, this rebel is a splendid, monstrous machine that…

Dave Propaganda

Dave is running for Students’ Union president because he has all the right qualities, like tact. “Yeah. You can go ahead and make me a website if you want,” he told me in an email yesterday. “My main colours…

Exposing Ourselves

For the last seven months I’ve been planning to revive wluexposed.org, but I never found the time. Until tonight. After quite a bit of coding, coffee, and lamentation I finally managed to clobber together something that works. And now magic…

Downtime

My webserver has been down for most of the day (again) which makes me feel pissy as fuck. I want technology that doesn’t break down and knows no pain or hunger….

Our Shiny Machines Eat Souls

Over the last six months I got sucked into five Social Networking Services, and I still don’t get what they do. I’m pretty dumb, you see. For a while Orkut was all the rage amongst my friends. We all signed…

Going Pro

Surprises in my mailbox all morning long … First, Dave thrilled me by giving me a Flickr Pro account. “I think you’ll make good use of it,” he said. I thanked him profusely and promised him beer. Now I can…

Image Mapping

You thought GoogleMaps was cool? Just wait until you see what it can do with Flickr photos. Geobloggers is a new service that combines the goodness of Flicker and GoogleMaps, allowing photo junkies to map out the location of their…

Webcam Whore

Because I’m trying to whore myself out in style, I’m going to spring for a webcam. I’ve never done the webcam routine before, so does anyone have any suggestions? What should I look for in a webcam? Will it improve…

ClubLaurier Again

Ever since I picked up the web design lingo, I started liberally sprinkling jargon like “standards compliance” in all of my conversations. Just last night, for instance, I was sitting in front of my monitor working out the bugs…

GMail

This morning I became desperate and started offering handjobs in exchange for a GMail account. GMail is Google’s promise to revolutionize the email industry, and I craved an account since April when the service was first announced. Because GMail is…

Redesign

Both my bike and I nearly fell apart by the time I returned from Cambridge late at night after the 60km roundtrip. My bike’s gears and breaks unexpectedly stopped working and this morning my legs weren’t feeling too good either….

MT Prices Cause Anger, Apathy

I live under a large, soundproof rock — that’s how I managed to completely miss the uproar over the new Movable Type licensing scheme until today. Since Thursday morning thousands of virulent, murderous blog entries have been posted, most of…

Echoes

It was only supposed to take ten minutes. Trevor made me get a LiveJournal account a month ago, and that painfully empty space begged to be filled. I’m too lazy to start another blog, so I simply wanted to echo…

New Camera Day

The Cyber-shot arrived in the mail three days ago and I’ve been playing with it ever since. Getting a new camera is a lot like like entering a new relationship: everything is tentative, tender, and intensely beautiful. Despite my…

ClubLaurier Christmas

I waited until the holidays to go on a programming binge that I’m still recovering from. After visions and revisions, after obsessing over code on caffeinated nights, the new version of clubLaurier.ca went online on Christmas Eve. The site’s overhaul…

Everywhere a Blog

Blogging is contagious! In the last few days blogs spread like a virus through Laurier’s online community and I have to take some of the blame. When I started documenting my existence with brutal honesty for all to see, there…
