Canoeing?
It’s a pretty grey day out there, so maybe that’s why this canoe isn’t on the water. This is at Elk Island National Park, about an hour’s drive away from Edmonton.

Last night after I finally had to give up on the UPS guy coming with the RAM for my Mac Pro, I went to go pick up Diane on our way to her coworker An’s place for dinner. An had spent the entire day cooking up a storm. When we got there, her entire kitchen [...]

So I watched the leader’s debate tonight with leaders of four of Alberta’s largest parties go at it for an hour and a half. There was Stelmach for the conservatives, Taft for the Liberals, Mason for the NDP, and some other guy for the Wild Rose Alliance (err … yeah). It has been awhile since [...]
Deep Freeze
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 [...]

On the Road Again, originally uploaded by Heraldk. Last weekend, Diane, her family and I went on a road trip to her family reunion. It was held in Manitou, Saskatchewan which is about a 7-8 hour drive (depending on stops and how fast you drive). The next series of photos will be from that trip [...]

This past weekend, Diane and I joined her family on a trip to Manitou, Saskatchewan. It was the location for a family reunion for my family-to-be. It was quite an interesting trip, although with the amount of driving we had to do, it seemed like we barely spent any time there. Four of us, Diane [...]

I am a frequent LRT traveler. In Edmonton, we have a relatively short light rail transit system that runs from the North East end of the city where I live, South and West to the University area. This is a great connection for me. A train ride to the University, once I get on the [...]

Ugh, I’ve been so busy these past few days that I haven’t had the energy to post in awhile. There’s a whole bunch of stuff going on right now with the poker group at the UofA … and it’s making me go slightly crazy. Still, it’s exciting. Late last week, my video card (a 6600GT) [...]

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 [...]

Marmot, originally uploaded by Heraldk. This is a photo taken through the car’s windshield as we were driving up to Marmot Basin. The gradient colour on the top is from the coloured strip at the top of the windshield. I’m actually really surprised that this photo turned out as well as it did since it [...]

Calm Lake, originally uploaded by Heraldk. Diane reminded me of this picture I took with my old camera. I looked at it and remembered that I hadn’t uploaded it, and I really really like it! So here it is. This was on a trip Diane and I took to Vancouver to go to our friends [...]
