Now offering torrents.

I just came across the collaborative art project, Pixelfest, in which random web surfers like yourself can contribute by changing one pixel per day. Pictured above was the status of the image when I added my own contribution this morning.

This is my newest vector drawing. See the rest of my vector art here.

Memry is a memory flash game that uses Flickr tags to choose images for the game.

The 1918 flu virus, that caused the Spanish Flu Pandemic, also known as the Great Influenza Pandemic, has been recently resurrected by scientists in an effort to understand how the virus works, and to potentially prevent a similar outbreak.

It was the culmination of work that began a decade ago and involved fishing tiny fragments of the 1918 virus from snippets of lung tissue from two soldiers and an Alaskan woman who died in the 1918 pandemic. The soldiers’ tissue had been saved in an Army pathology warehouse, and the woman had been buried in permanently frozen ground.

One of my roommates let me know that he is moving out at the end of the month. I will now need to find another roommate. If you or someone you know needs a place to live in Lethbridge let me know.

My parents have a rental property in Medicine Hat that they are also trying to rent – it’s a house in Southridge. The previous tenants did quite a number on the place and didn’t pay for their last couple months either. Eventually they had to be evicted, and now I think my folks have finally got the place ready for new tenants.
