LRT Bridge (Night)
I shot this photo walking back from the University of Alberta golden bears versus Oiler rookies hockey game. Even with my 50mm f/1.4 lens and a high ISO, I had some troubles taking some hand held shots … but this one turned out a little better than alright, I think. There’s a couple more that turned out pretty well. The LRT bridge is rather pretty at night, I think!

Two nights ago, I got a chance to go to a kitchen game poker night that a coworker was putting on. The whole idea for the night was to play dealer’s choice poker from the set of crazy games that people have come up with over the years. We weren’t allowed to choose the casino [...]

Playoff Predictor, Stanley Cup Finals, 2008
Well my predictor is sure doing better than I did in my playoff pools. Going into the conference finals, it was 11 for 12 for predictions, and it got both of the conference finals right as well! Pittsburgh_Penguins 0.579 0.204 Philadelphia_Flyers 0.421 0.119 Detroit_Red_Wings 0.681 0.498 Dallas_Stars 0.319 0.178 So what’s left? The Stanley [...]

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 [...]

Well it’s been awhile, but I haven’t played through a big downswing in a little while. That all changed over the last couple days. I had been running super hot playing 200NL for a couple of weeks. That seems like the past now that I dropped 7 stacks at 200nl last night, and another 6 [...]

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 [...]

I posted before the first round playoffs started to present some output from my NHL playoff simulator. How’d it do at predicting the results? Well let’s have a look. I removed the later round predictions from the last post just to clean this up and make it easier to read. Correct predictions are in bold. [...]

I’ve got a bunch to say, but it might have to wait for after we get home. It’s been pretty busy – we’ve been wined and dined and I spent a bunch of time at the office chatting with people. It has gone really well so far, but I’ll wait until I get home until [...]
Week of Busy
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 [...]
