A collection of digital wonders and some other stuff.
Here is an image that I took in Disney’s California Adventure a couple of years back (December 2002).
The reason I bring it up is because I stumbled upon some more great images of sand sculptures. Their webpage could use a revamp, but the images are great.
Cool story about a two person company and their software that almost became iTunes.
From the Committee to Protect Bloggers comes Free Mojtaba and Arash Day.
“Free Mojtaba and Arash Day is a day set up by the Committee to Protect Bloggers to create awareness for two Iranian bloggers who are imprisoned in their country.”
Seeing as I have become more aware of Iranian culture through my old roommate and some new friends I made at school, not to mention the fact that I’m a pretty big fan of blogging, I thought it appropriate to give a little attention to my fellow bloggers in the Middle East.
Excellent trailer for a CC-licensed documentary on sampling culture.
I volunteered to canvass for the Heart and Stroke foundation again this year, but alas I didn’t find very many people home when I went around this evening. I plan to try again tomorrow.
I think that there are a few charities that are important to support and this is one of them. Here some interesting information from the Heart and Stroke Foundation’s pamphlet:
It’s a sobering thought: almost 40% of Canadians will develop some form of cardiovascular disease and despite [their] best efforts, it remains the leading cause of death. Today, someone in Canada falls victim to a heart attack every 7 minutes.
My own grandpa died during heart surgery and so it’s an issue that hits close to home. Chances are, there is someone in your family that has had heart problems, so when you see folks like myself out canvassing, please give. If you can’t afford to donate a lot, remember even a few dollars help.
Here it is, my Flickr album.
I came across a page today that has default router usernames and passwords for commonly used routers. It’s a handy reference if you ever need to help someone access their router but they don’t know their own default password; it’s surprising to me how often that happens.
This guy… oh wait this is the Sucker of the Year award, my mistake.
Funny post about how volunteering to help someone move turned out to be a lot more than he bargained for.
From the Discovery channel comes one very smart bird.

I took on a new part time job selling beds. Tonight I sold my first bed! I work for “Word of Mouth Beds” here in Lethbridge and the way it works is, the beds are stored in a warehouse that in turn saves money for the customers. It may not be the nicest place to shop but it is probably the least expensive. It’s a good deal for both the people shopping and for me because while I help them save money, they help me pay for University. Talk about Win/Win!
