Canada -- Alberta

Canmore, Alberta ~ 12 Apr 2009
On Friday my good little Albertan child said: "Mama, let's go to the mountains for some fresh air." And, off we went to Grassi Lakes in Canmore for fresh air, sunshine, and a snowy mountain hike. C...

Three Sisters ~ 11 Apr 2009
The Three Sisters are easily recognizable and can be seen from the TransCanada Highway as you pass Canmore (Alberta, Canada). Each of the peaks has a name: Big Sister (first climbed in 1887 by Jame...

Canada -- Nova Scotia

One Night in Halifax ~ 08 May 2009
Some people talk about spending one night in Bangkok or Paris, perhaps London or Delhi. My night always seems to be Halifax... one night in Halifax. We're here and we've made it a girl's night out: ...

Little Sardinian Donkey ~ 08 Mar 2009
The photo above was taken in Sardinia during the 1950s. The tiny little donkey pulling the cart is a special breed of donkey native to the islands of Sicily and Sardinia (originally thought to come ...

Bikes (and Parts) Everywhere ~ 07 Jan 2008
One of the things that slows you down the most in the winter is the switch from slicks to knobbies. When the weather is nice and there's not a lot of crap on the road like cookie dough snow and an ank...

The Numbers Game ~ 05 Dec 2007
A week ago Calgary got a dump of snow that turned the morning commute into chaos. For those crazy few of us who are still cycling, it was an indication that winter had indeed arrived and we were now...

Performance Enhancing ~ 24 Nov 2007
This is not new news: "US athlete Marion Jones has pleaded guilty to lying about her steroid use to US investigators, which could see her jailed and stripped of her medals. The 31-year-old had previou...

2018 ~ 19 Nov 2007
I've put 2000km on my legs since starting my new job at the end of June. That's a lot of milage! I probably hit the 2000 mark while I was witnessing a bike rage incident -- that two a**hole cyclist...

Huffers ~ 01 Nov 2007
One of the things that annoys me most on my morning rides are the huffers. Huffer is my own term for a guy who -- for whatever reason -- gets an ego blow when a girl passes him on a bike. Often the hu...

It's Not Banana Yellow ~ 16 Oct 2007
My parents will be unhappy to know that their next grandchild has two Vittoria Diamante Pro Lite tires, Wolf TT forks, and aerobars. Cervelo has announced their 2008 line and in it were a few surpri...

1000! ~ 04 Sep 2007
I thought of D'Arcy when my odometer hit 1000km today. This is the mileage I've put on my bike since starting at Solium at the end of June. In other biking news: I've been fitted for a Cervelo and...

Toddler Climbing Wall ~ 02 Sep 2007
Take one spirited toddler who likes to climb everything, mix her with two parents who are missing chunks of hair (from pulling it out), and an engineer who is a great big kid (Kevin the Neighbour)... ...

Inspiration ~ 17 Aug 2007
I have to say that the Strathmore Tri became a huge source of inspiration for me. As I sat around the pool deck waiting for my swim heat all of the hardcore triathlon women were chatting about their k...

Musings on the Strathmore Tri ~ 13 Aug 2007
I survived my first full triathlon - a sprint distance: 500M swim / 20K ride / 5K run. It's nice to actually put a number / accomplishment to all of the training I've done in the past 8 months. I al...

Bike Path Terminology ~ 03 Aug 2007
I've come up with a few terms during my daily commutes to and from downtown. I thought I'd share them with you all so we're all familiar with the terms when we're chatting about cycling. Keep in mind ...

A Weight Loss Journey ~ 01 Aug 2007
In January I decided to make quite a few life changes -- the major one being to get back to a point where I could feel good about myself. While pregnant with Makenna I gained roughly 50bs -- this was ...

Run ~ 13 Nov 2006
Today I tried a new running route with the dogs. Relentless is the perfect word for this new route. The up and down hills are brutal and at one point I am running up a sheer cliff. This is a huge ac...

Snippets of Wisdom from the Calgary QTB ~ 22 Sep 2008
From the Calgary QTB trial run -- the night before with Martin Fowler and Scott Shaw. Difficulty in the business talking to IT is partially because of the physical segregation of the two departmen...

3G iPhone ~ 07 Aug 2008
I've been on the market for a new phone/plan for months. And, during the iPhone frenzy a teeny tiny piece of me secretly envied all those who waited in their tent cities for a shot at getting a 3G i...

40D ~ 16 Jun 2008
I've switched to a 40D... not the bra size (silly)... but rather the camera. For those of you new to the site, my previous camera/baby was a Canon XT, which I've used successfully in the world of S...

Life as a YouTube Video ~ 13 Jun 2008
I have begun to keep track of my life as a series of YouTube videos -- or more succinctly, weekly chunks of common YouTube threads that seem to hit work and spread like wildfire. The past two weeks w...

Code Refactoring and Other Principles ~ 31 Mar 2008
Refactoring is a new term for me -- but not a new principle. I've intentionally rewritten code since the dawn of PHP to make applications cleaner, secure, scalable, easier to read and keep up with lan...

Sharing of Journeys ~ 23 Jan 2008
In a different time and in many places, the way that people shared their stories was through oral history -- or story telling. People would gather around a fire or some other location and share thei...

Photoshop Magic ~ 16 Nov 2007
I've been doing a lot of GIMP work on my Istock photos as of late -- and reminiscing a fair bit about Photoshop and how it is king. I really wish Adobe would get their act together and produce a vers...

Ready, Set, Fizzle ~ 06 Nov 2007
Here I am again foolishly slaving over another novel when I have no time or energy to be doing so. Somehow I derive sick pleasure from adding more things to my day when it is already jam packed like...

Flickr, Privacy and Permissions ~ 15 Oct 2007
After Michele's ordeal, the Virgin girl fiasco, and my own internal struggles with the asinine Yahoo/Flickr Terms of Service (basically your photos are theirs), I've decided to post a little blurb ab...

It's That Time of Year Again... ~ 02 Oct 2007
It's that time of year again... not Thanksgiving or Halloween, but registration time for NaNoWriMo. I managed to re-instate my membership tonight just mere seconds before the NaNo server went down for...

RAW vs. JPG ~ 08 Aug 2007
The past year of working with stock agencies has been one of learning. In the last month alone in working with iStockphoto I have learned more about photography than I did in 10 years as a film photo...

The Strtotime Function in PHP5 ~ 05 Aug 2007
Strtotime has always been a favourite of mine in PHP -- instead of using messy code and calculations to put out a friendly date format, I've used strtotime to do all the work. And now with the advent ...

Professional Writer Equals Blogger? ~ 19 Jul 2007
I had my first meeting with someone today who was overjoyed that they were hiring a blogger to write for them. The woman was positively giddy with excitement as she gleefully looked at her hands and a...

The Gear Dilemma ~ 18 Jul 2007
In this life I've done a lot of travel: short travel, long travel, car/train/plane/boat trips, "get in the car we're going to..." weekend trips, treks, hikes, journeys across continents, family trip...

The Tao of Wend ~ 17 Jul 2007
This website is the direct result of an hour of sitting in the airport in Calgary waiting to go to New York City: and getting to this point is a long story. My dearest and oldest friend Michi and her ...

The Laptop Dilemma ~ 01 Nov 2006
It was a hard few hours. Three very geeky techies hovered over my laptop making strange noises, acting clucky and saying very geeky things like: "when you hear the long beep and then two short beeps i...

User Expectations and Web Design ~ 18 Oct 2002
My talk on design for Lexicom has been consuming my life for the past week. So I would like to put some of the issues I will be talking about online in a series of articles about good and bad web desi...

The Cobbler ~ 20 Jul 2009
I'm having a less than spectacular week. It seems that snide comments, disrespect, lack of empathy, unspoken silences, and insensitive unhelpful criticism are running rampant in these parts; I'm norma...

Country Bugs ~ 24 Jun 2009
Above we have the beginnings of a termite nest. Up close this particular nest looked like it had been damaged by rain or as if someone (or something) had been poking around inside. Below we have a ...

Mascal Village ~ 22 Jun 2009
To get to the outdoor camp at Mascal, we had to drive by a small village, walk through a small farm, and then a hike in and out of the surrounding forest to get to our final destination. As we passed...

Through the Window of a Bus ~ 22 Jun 2009
There are a fair number of military photos of Afghanistan and Iraq shot through the window of a Humvee (example 1 and 2). So, many that I couldn't find the original that inspired me for this post. I k...

The June 2009 Batch of TWU ~ 19 Jun 2009
They're not really my students -- yet they are. They're co-workers and peers yet they're not quite ready for project work. I am supposed to call them freshers but would rather call them peeps. If you ...

Street Dogs ~ 19 Jun 2009
Warning: rather graphic post below. It might upset some people. Locals call them street dogs, pariah dogs, and sometimes pye (pi) dogs. They are the feral dogs that live on the streets of India and...

South Indian Chillies ~ 17 Jun 2009
Above are South Indian Green Chillies. Remember many of the chili contests / tricks from the past (here and here). Well, I'm unhappy to announce that those chillies were tame compared to what we at...

Strangely Comforting... ~ 16 Jun 2009
Above is a wild section of Bangalore owned by the Indian Military. I'm currently living within a kilometre of the Indian Air Force Training Centre, which is strangely comforting because I grew up on...

Sri Maha Muneeshwara Temple, Bangalore ~ 15 Jun 2009
There are random temples everywhere in India; and, often they crop up in the oddest of places. This particular one is on MG Road in Bangalore. My Hindu knowledge is a tad bit rusty so I'll point out...

Body Craft, Indiranagar ~ 13 Jun 2009
I went for a pedicure with the lovely Rixt today. She knows all the great places. Because I've been suffering from headaches I opted for the Ayurvedic head massage (read: pounding) and foot massage ...

Meanwhile, Back at the Ranch... ~ 10 Jun 2009

Writing at Leela Palace (with Geez*) ~ 31 May 2009

When in Rome... ~ 26 May 2009
Are you ok with this madam? The little lady says as she is smacking my head. Bap bap bap bap bap, it's very rhythmic and somehow kind of soothing. I'm not the biggest fan of head massages, but then ...

People ~ 24 May 2009
People fascinate me. The things they do, the things they say, their history, their baggage, and the ways that they behave in differing circumstances: it's all one big study and an immensely inter...

Commercial Street ~ 24 May 2009
Saturday and Sunday were spent on Commercial Street checking out a whole host of stores and vendors. This is more of what I had envisioned as a shopping experience in Bangalore; I think I spent w...

Some India Philosophies ~ 23 May 2009

Salt Lasse in a Juice Box ~ 21 May 2009
This time around I'm getting the full range of lasses; from mango to salt to sweet to rose to things I can't even describe (a lasse is a yogurt drink). The lasse in a juice box was new and interesti...

A Day in the Life of a TW Trainer ~ 20 May 2009
And now for some general scenes from the every day life of a TW Trainer... for those people who keep asking "what's it like." You know who you are. Above is the TW Office in Bangalore. It's big, it...

Shanti Sagr ~ 18 May 2009
While out for lunch on Thursday I snapped photos along the way. One of the things the locals joke about is the number of photos of cows the westerners take. I'm guilty... there's something strangel...

Rickshaw Ride from Hell ~ 17 May 2009

Sethji ~ 15 May 2009
When asking people around the Bangalore office (and who have been in Bangalore) where to eat, almost always the first thing people list off is "go to Sethji for parathas." "Try the salt lasse" is ge...

The Wonderful World of Wacky Signs ~ 13 May 2009

Parking Garage Chemist ~ 12 May 2009
On day two of this great big adventure I started to get a bit of a scratchy throat. (Don't tell anyone in India immigration this because they'll send over the doctors/nurses in white suits.) As such...

Bangalore ~ 12 May 2009
The question I get asked most since coming back to India is: "Has it changed much in the past 12 years?" I'll admit that something is different. I haven't been able to put my finger on what as of ye...

Flight Path to India ~ 10 May 2009
Never in my life have I ever had a series of near flight misses like the past few days. I expected to be able to stop at some point and get some water or aspirin for my splitting headache. But I've no...

India Border Crossing ~ 06 May 2009
It's the India border I'll be crossing in a couple of days. I'm being sent to TWU as a trainer. My Indian visa came back faster than expected... so fast (a few days) that the first word that popped in...

Four Years ~ 14 Jan 2009

Merry Christmas ~ 27 Dec 2008
Merry Christmas everyone. I know I'm a bit late, but the hordes have descended upon our household and there's barely enough time to breathe; when there's breathing time it's usually spent napping. S...

Rebirth of the Phoenix ~ 26 Mar 2008
