I’m starting to go a tad crazy I think. This week has been insanely busy. It seems like I keep getting things piled on me. Work has been exceptionally busy as we madly prepare for the upcoming man-machine poker match. I’ve had a pile of fairly little tasks to do along with a couple of [...]

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 [...]

Canmore at night, originally uploaded by Heraldk. Taken hand-held with my new Canon 17-55 f/2.8. A couple of friends and I went on a ski trip to Banff recently. This was taken on our way to get some munchies at Sobeys before retiring to our hotel in Canmore.

Distant Mountain, originally uploaded by Heraldk. Taken from the recent CS Department ski trip which hit Jasper for the last weekend of Jasper in January. On Sunday of that weekend, we traditionally do the Maligne Canyon hike which is pretty spectacular. This the view about 1/4 of the way up the hike.

Well I was away all weekend for the department ski trip, and returned home to find Edmonton in a serious deep freeze. The temperatures here have dropped to what I consider to be entirely too cold, and the city has found itself in a mayhem situation traffic-wise. As we drove back from Jasper, I started [...]
