The Internet’s leading authority on radicalized geese
Today I’m at Educamp ’09 at UBC As is my predilection for these types of things, I’m taking notes here on my blog. It probably won’t be terribly interesting for most readers, so feel free to skip this. I’m sure I’ll write more about hotties again tomorrow. Keynote #1: Richard Rosenberg, Prof Emeritus in Comp […] →Read more
So, I’ve talked a lot about Hockey Hotties, but did you know that professions other than hockey player count hotties within their ranks as well? Case in point: Dr. Ahmed El-Sohemy, a scientist from the University of Toronto. He studies nutrigenomics. I saw him give a talk about his research at a symposium recently. Super […] →Read more
Listening to last night’s 4-2 Canuck victory over the Habs, I found myself wondering how my hockey hotties have been doing this season. This may be because Gorges seemed to have the puck *a lot*. But also because Carey Price got to play a bit. At any rate, I thought I’d update y’all on how […] →Read more
So, it seems like everyone on earth has done the “25 random things about yourself” meme1 and I’ve only just now2 been tagged with it! Doubled tagged, actually, by both Jackie & Jodelene. Doubled teamed by two girls, if you will. Ahem. So, since everyone on earth has already done this meme, since I enjoy […] →Read more
I won! I won! I won! I won! I never win stuff. Well, until now. I won Raul’s contest for a trip for romantic 3-hour snowshoeing and chocolate fondue tour at Cypress Mountain on February 25! I’ve never been snowshoeing before! I’m super stoked! But there is one snag in my wonderful contest win – […] →Read more
Raul is having a contest where you write about what you are going to do to make your Valentine enviro-friendly and thenyou are entered into a draw to win a snowshoeing tour at Cypress Mountain (complete with chocolate fondue in a quaint little wooden hut). And I’ve always wanted to go snowshoeing! My dilemma, however, […] →Read more
I just read over on Derek’s blog that today is Charles Darwin’s 200th birthday. Derek wrote a really great posting about Darwin’s work – as well as the nature of the scientific enterprise. You should totally read it. In related news, in honour of the 150th anniversary of On The Origin of Species as well […] →Read more
Yesterday, while out running 9 km1 with my friend and running partner, Alicia, I was telling her about how I was excited to get my new glasses and it reminded me of the very first pair of glasses I ever had. I was in grade 4 and my mom had taken me to the optometrist […] →Read more
My new eyeglasses arrived in the mail today! It’s funny, but after years and years of *hating* my eyeglasses, I was really excited to get this pair. I guess part of it is the novelty – I haven’t worn any glasses in more than six months and those ones didn’t properly correct my vision because […] →Read more
Bought this skirt a couple of weeks ago at a consignment store. Both of the times I’ve worn it so far, I’ve gotten a *tonne* of compliments on it. Thought I’d share it here. No, I’m not too busy to write a real blog posting today, why do you ask? P.S. Sorry the picture […] →Read more
