So when I got to work this morning, one of my coworkers, who was also just arriving, rushed up to my car. “You have a flat tire!” she said. And flat it was! Now, you may have noticed that Smart cars are very small. But did you know that they are so small that they […] →Read more
As you know, I like to cook. I also like to take photos of the stuff that I cook under the misguided notion that I’ll actually get around to writing blog postings about said cooking. Instead, here’s a bunch of random photos of stuff I’ve cooked over the last eleventy months that I never got […] →Read more
Updated on May 30, 2011: Because there is now a YouTube video to embed. And I have new things to say. So the other day, Lisa Johnson ((Coincidentally, Lisa moderated the panel of science bloggers that I was on at Northern Voice.

Yesterday I went with my friends Rachel and Peter on a top secret mission to Manning Park. Manning is a provincial park located about 3 hours east of Vancouver ((You may recall it as the place that we shipped all the snow in from for the Olympics.)). After our top secret mission, Peter continued on […] →Read more
Hey, remember back in December when I told you my sister was preggers and her baby was due in May? He was due on May 19 and, unlike the vast majority of babies, he decided to show up right on schedule! My niece and nephew ((Still so weird to say I have a “nephew!” I’ve […] →Read more
