Grouse Grind pics.
With our wedding at Grouse Mountain next year and our photographer being flown in from Winnipeg, we’ve been trying to locate good photo-op sites for Curtis to evaluate from afar. Kurt and I did the Grouse Grind earlier this month in our attempt to avoid the $30 gondola ride just to take photos. It was [...]
Testing flickReplacr.
This tool from Flickr, while novel, doesn’t do a very representative job of our beloved national theme. That’s too bad, because this was very cool to play with!
Happy 20th birthday, Kyle!
To celebrate my little brother’s exit from the teen years, we splurged at Kobe Steakhouse where he used to work. He then proceeded to get plastered for the rest of the weekend. I doubt he remembers much of the first 48 hours of his 20′s. Happy birthday from your ate =)

Canon PowerShot S2 IS. Yummy.
Testing, testing.
Time to play with some great online toys! – Just grabbed myself a spanking new license of Movable Type 3.2, complete with Style Editor. You probably won’t see the results here until after the wedding, unless Kurt decides to grant me more computer privileges than I’m allowed to have. (grumble…stupid CA program!) – Got the [...]
