A site that we did a while back has received a facelift courtesy of our team. The www.citizenvoices.gg.ca is aimed at a younger audience; and is to be an outreach from the Governor General to those around her (in a way that her official canadian gov site can’t do - we don’t work on that one). I’m […]

Shaved my face for the first time in 3 years
April 18th, 2008 · 4 Comments
Shaved my face for the first time in 3 years I’m a shavin’ hater — every photo of me for the past 3-4 years - I have some stubble. This was just for fun — I’ll go back to being a ‘dirtball’ soon enough.

WESC 2008 Campaign
April 18th, 2008 · No Comments
I’m loving the 2008 WESC summer campaign. It’s a series of photos that look like they might be photoshop-ed collages, but in reality are carefully staged/set-up to look like items are on top of other items; items have been pasted; and using techniques similar to “forced perspective”. Well done. http://www.wesc.com/?#campaign/

The Wall looks excellent this morning. Even with 43°F water there looks to be a ton of people out. Guess that swell & sunshine really helps forgot the ice building up on your whiskers.

WP-Admin Colors
April 16th, 2008 · No Comments
Somehow I had completely missed this in the WP 2.5 Upgrade; You can now have custom CSS colors for each users WP-Admin panel. I was wondering if anyone will come out with some color schemes; and I found Matt had asked the same question. Keep an eye on that thread to see what starts coming out.

Secure Notes on your Mac
April 16th, 2008 · 6 Comments
I’ve been storing some information in my Entourage notes which should really be kept secured behind a password; I had tried out some of the shareware apps that let you keep passwords/records/notes in a secure fashion — but they always seems clunky/slow and not 100% trustworthy. I recently found out that my mac already has an […]

April 15th, 2008 · 6 Comments
Well well well… here we are at week 13! Can you believe it? Not quite sure but that’s about 50 yoga full sessions. Back at week 4; (http://www.stevey.com/2008/02/10/update-week-4-of-yoga/) I was really starting to feel the results of it. I was still sweating like crazy by the end of each session (not that I’m that much better now […]

Damn Futureshop having a sale
April 13th, 2008 · 4 Comments
Linda and I, since deciding not to move, had come up with a few items we want to upgrade in our small apartment (as sort of a consolation prize after giving up on the apt search). One of them was a new TV; I had seen the model I wanted; friends had bought it and were […]
