We arrived in Paris on Sunday evening, and spent Monday sightseeing in the city. We hit up a number of monuments, that I will list later once I can spell them correctly. We visited a small church in Belleville where I lived for a time as a child. I remembered some parts of it, but [...]

I read The Shack recently. For those interested, I posted thoughts on it over here.
Maija and I and the fetus leave tomorrow for Paris. We’re quite excited. I used to live in Paris when I was a wee little lad, and have not been back since. We’ll also be going out to the Champagne region where I also lived, to visit the tiny village I spent time growing up [...]
Truth be told, I kinda like the iPhone. I’ve thought about buying one. Shocking? Haha, perhaps. I don’t want to like it really, because I don’t like Apple, but it’s a nice looking/functioning product. A good package.

Yesterday marked our 3 year wedding anniversary. I love my wife!
It also nearly marks the fact that we’ve been living in Finland for a year now. Crazy.
And it marks almost the halfway point to our child being released from manufacturing. Thrilling!
Life is grand.
We’re off to Paris in 2 weeks, and then Toronto for a month. [...]
I’ve finally finished laying down the next installment of my regular trance and progressive series:
Download it here.
The third installment in my Beatitudes series comes at a slight delay since the others. I’ll blame the summer, and a lazy attitude. I’ve picked another 10 beautiful tracks from the last few months, sure to keep you happy [...]
Building of the Lego minifigs
Published September 6th, 2008 in Humourous, Personal and Recommended Reading. 0 CommentsOne of things I’m most looking forward to about having a baby is the unavoidable Lego, once the baby levels-up to child.
Gizmodo have yet another exclusive Lego video. I don’t recall if I posted the last one… I can’t find it here when I search. Here’s the links. Anyway, the new video is a demo [...]
