Updates
Mar 9th
I’m continuing the improvements to this blog more slowly now, but I still intend on fixing stuff up. Today’s update includes the re-introduction of Pages — which will be used to show content that doesn’t really fit into the blog style. Most importantly, these are pages that will contain data that people might be more interested in at a static moment in time. So I’ll use these pages for stuff like: longer articles that might be of interest longer than a blog entry, as well as stuff like my resume and my list of publications. Hopefully these can grow as I continue to contribute to this blog!
The menu to the upper right that displays the pages actually took me a frustratingly long time to make, and it still doesn’t display properly in IE 7. Ugh. However, it does work in the browsers I have to test with, so hopefully it looks okay. Let me know if you have problems with it. It isn’t perfect, but I’ll try tweaking it later when I’m less frustrated with it!

Lamp
Mar 6th
I went out with a small group of friends this past weekend to do some skiing at Kimberley. It was awesome! The snow was amazing, the weather was incredible, and all in all we had a great time! Sorry about the late photo this week – I’ve been trying to get my life in order after returning late on Sunday night.
This lamp was situated between the condo on the hill we were staying at and the Kelsey’s restaurant we went to eat dinner at. On the way back, I got this photo that I really really like.
Skiing!
Mar 6th
This weekend I went out skiing at Kimberley, BC with a small group of friends. It was fabulous! It was a bit of a long drive just for a weekend trip, but I definitely felt it was worth it. The snow was incredible, and the weather was unbeatable. On Saturday we hit a high of +4-ish, and on Sunday the forecast was saying it would hit +7!
Diane and I, along with Rob, drove down starting in the afternoon on Friday and made really good time. We arrived at before 10:00, and hung out for a couple of hours. We enjoyed using the private hot tub which was one of the excellent features of our suite. The condo we stayed at was actually an amazing deal. It cost us $100 a night for the condo … split 5 ways! So $40 for the weekend’s accomodation was pretty sweet I’d say!
On Saturday morning, our group got up in an attempt to get on the hill as soon as the lifts started. After a full day of some really fun skiing, we got cleaned up and went out for dinner at the Kelsey’s on the hill. Fun times! Somehow Rob decided it was a good idea to pay the bill for dinner: Thanks Rob! You really didn’t need to do that!
After dinner we wandered back to the suite (en route I took the above picture) and relaxed. We completed a game of scattegories we had started the night before and then watched the hockey game. It was all in all a good day! The next day we got ourselves all packed up and then went and enjoyed a few more hours of skiing before starting the trek home.
It was a very good weekend — full of snow, sunshine and some wonderful company. I can’t wait for the next trip!
