Wow this took awhile to get around to doing. This past weekend I had the chance to check off the third of my five favourite european metal bands off my “I must see these bands” list. I was truly surprised to find out that Nightwish was coming to Edmonton to play a sold out show [...]

Just a quick note to tell anyone who reads this blog who doesn’t know already – I got the job with Pocketkings in Dublin (pending a successful work permit application of course). So in addition to everything else that’s going on this summer (getting married, honeymoon, computer bot competitions), Diane and I have to pack [...]

It’s been pretty busy the past few days. In the evenings after work I spent a large amount of time uploading backlogged photos to Flickr. I’ve gotten pretty far into my backlog, and I’ve almost got caught up to the point where I can start to post new photos again (and I’ve got a few [...]

It’s been quite awhile since my last general update, so I figured I’d give a quick update. The interview process is still underway. I’m not entirely sure what the status is, but it looks like I might be scheduling a visit for Diane and I over there to check out the office and have a [...]

Well it didn’t go too bad. I think. It’s hard to say. I … was a little nervous. This was the first real set of interviews I’ve had since I interviewed for a internship between my third and fourth years. I had a couple interviews then – one on the phone with IBM that went [...]

Well today I was a nervous wreck. For quite some time I’ve been considering applying for a job with pocket kings — the company that writes and manages the software and details behind full tilt poker. A couple of former UofA grads have got prominent positions there and they’ve been making the case that I [...]
This was a long time coming. I’ve been so busy this last week that I haven’t had a chance to talk about the latest Sonata Arctica concert here in Edmonton. SA made their second appearance in two years at Edmonton’s Starlite room last week. I was able to get tickets and go, so I continued [...]

Just a couple of notes to update what I’m doing with the site. I have now removed the old layout and blog content for http://heraldk.ca/blog. That address is still valid, but it points to this blog. WordPress does a pretty good job of acting as the main page for a website, so I see no [...]

Alexandra, originally uploaded by Heraldk. I had the pleasure of being one of the few people invited to the recent wedding of my friend and colleague Darse to his Alexandra. I was quite honoured to be there since it was a minimal wedding. I was there to document it through photography, and I think I [...]

Well Diane and I head back to Edmonton tomorrow. It’s been a good trip! Before I get in to today’s activities, let me first say that I missed a highlight from yesterday. When we hopped on a bus to take us to robson street to have dinner yesterday, we were on the bus and were [...]
