So the OC Transpo strike started a year ago. And looking back at it all, I still have these annoyed feelings about the fact that it happened, and they didn't really get anywhere, since the reason for it ending was originally on the table as a way to prevent it. And lately, I've been getting more and more annoyed with the service. I actually called and made a complaint about an issue, but that doesn't go far enough. Maybe I'll write them a letter old-person-style, stamps and all. That first day of the strike wasn't unlike today - blizzardy. It felt like the first true day of winter - just in time for the Christmas season too! And only 9 more days until I'm done school for the year. Then a bit longer. Then what? I do have some ideas, some of which (unfortunately) involve even more school. We'll see what grows to fruition. Speaking of school, here's a sequence I worked on with my teammates for one of our final projects: Dave, our model, is part of an ad cam...

I had a presentation on April 1, and I brought my camera with me, thinking that I would record it for later playback. Just as it was my turn to go up, I chickened out of such a plan (ended up doing very well on my presentation... perhaps I should have but oh well), and after the presentations were all done, I came home. Over a week later, I go looking for my camera. It's not in my room, its not on the main floor... it's not under my bed (few things end up there, my skates being one of them). Is it at Prashanta's? Nope. Does Prabin have it? Nope. Is it at work? Nope. Mary's? Nah. Where could it have gone? I'm scratching my head, before I reluctantly admit that perhaps I lost it. I asked my teacher about it, and who teaches in that room next. This leads to a dead end, though with sympathies - nobody likes to hear a camera has gone missing. Because of the long weekend, OC Transpo lost and found isn't too easy to get hold of. Do I really need to buy a new camera 2 w...

To kick off the exciting time that is anticipating Disneyworld, I thought I would study exactly how much Disney-related stuff I've amassed in recent times. This time, I'll focus on Wall-E. The little robot that could is just too awesome. Everybody knows that I'm the "Wall-E guy" and have been since well before the movie came out. And while I don't have the crazy $300 interactive robot, I have collected a number of items both purchased by me or given to me as a gift. This interactive, dancing Wall-E talks, has eyes that light up, and can even play music from an MP3 player. I went all out and bought the 3-Disk edition of the DVD. The extra special feature disk rocks! Especially with the extra deleted scenes. Wall-E Laundry. What could be better? Eve changes her expression when you bop her on the head, has a plant in her belly, and even has an interchangeable arm cannon. M-O can actually suck up little particles when he runs over them! Wall-E Tap dances when you ...
