I know it’s been a long time since I’ve posted anything. Now that I’m in my final year of med school, things are getting a bit busier and I’ve been away on some electives. Things are going well though - it’s just that there hasn’t been that much non-medical stuff to post about [...]

On Sunday, Amanda and I ventured to Canmore for Mozart on the Mountain. It’s an outdoor concert put on by the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra. This year, the concert took place on the driving range of Stewart Creek Golf Course in the Three Sisters Mountain Village. It was a beautiful day and really [...]

We finally have wifi again on the eve of our long return trip to Canada. The time has flown by so fast, and we wanted to get the photos posted before returning.
After leaving Noosa, we took an overnight bus to Airlie Beach. We spent a couple of days there, visited the [...]

Sorry for not posting any new pictures for a while. The past two weekends, I attended two Australian Rules Football games. I heard someone describe it as “aerial ping-pong” and that’s not far off. While I am starting to understand the game, it’s still a little puzzling to me as to why [...]

I went for a walk along the coast today for the afternoon from Coogee Beach to Bondi Beach. The weather was great and lots of people were out and about. The walk is fairly easy with a few hills to go up and down as you can see in the pictures. It [...]

I headed over to Sydney Olympic Park today to catch a pair of rugby games. The feature game was the Wests Tigers versus the Sydney Roosters. The Tigers play out of Telstra Stadium (the Olympic Stadium) so they were the team to cheer for. In the pictures, it may not look like [...]

I figured it was time for something new and fresh with the site seeing as the old layout had been up for quite a while. I know this may seem drastic, but with Wordpress themes, it was actually really easy to do. The theme I am now using is called 3 column Relaxation. [...]

Today I participated in an event called Head for a Cure. It was a fundraiser for cancer where people were sponsored to have their head shaved. It was an incredibly successful event that raised over $20,000 for a great cause. You can see a before and after here on the left. [...]

I thought it was time for a new header graphic after seeing this cool use of images on flickr.com. If you haven’t heard of flickr, it’s a way to easily share photos online. What the people at Spell with flickr have done is allow you to type in a word or phrase, and [...]

We had an awesome day skiing at Sunshine Village yesterday. I’ve put up a photo album and as you can see, there was not a cloud in the sky all day.
We also got some movie clips from our camera and I’m in the process of putting together a short video clip with pictures and [...]

I was going to write about my New Year’s Resolutions, but considering one of them would be to update this site more often, and seeing as it’s been nearly a month since my last post, it doesn’t seem like the right thing to do.
Instead, I’ll just give a quick update on what’s been happening here [...]

I can’t beleive that I’m at the Christmas break of my first year of medical school! While we are at the half-way point of our current unit so I can’t completely forget everything that we’ve done leading up to the break, it’s still great to have some time off.
We accomplished our goal of staying [...]

After writing about Mac’s on this website for a couple years now, and talking about them with numerous people, I finally took the plunge and said goodbye to my Windows system. Instead, I now am the proud owner of a 12″ G4 Powerbook and I haven’t looked back.
I’ve acually had the new Powerbook for [...]

All of you that know me, know how big of a Hootie & the Blowfish fan I’ve always been. A lot of people still think of them as ‘one hit wonders’ and they forget that the guys are still together and making great music. Their latest album, Looking for Lucky, has just hit [...]

A lot of people ask me how I stay on top of things in the world of technology. I’ve talked about feed aggregators in the past which help to bring all of the information from the various websites that I read into one place. Reading is fine, but it’s definitely not the same [...]
