Little Big Run

Well, kicking out a new PB of 45:15 was pretty sweet, but getting the whole family (less one who had First Aid training today) was a real win. The weather was giving us every out under the sun (and since it was snowing and raining, there was no sun) so that we all went out [...]

Up in the Air

Well it seems that things are still up in the air. I’m still disrupted, but I’ve got a short term contract in the VPIT’s office doing some really interesting work. I haven’t been sitting still over this involuntary break, I’ve been working on a PhD application as well as my running. I’ve managed three long [...]

Disrupted

The technical language is “my position is being disrupted”. Which is the biz speak for being laid off. Yes, I’m now one of those statistics that you hear about. Me and my entire team. I found this image by accident, but it seems uniquely fitting to my situation. I hope I land on my feet [...]

Bug and the Nexus One

… How my baby is like the Nexus One – Both reasonably new models, but with new revs coming every day, it seems impossible to keep up. Neither are really built to sleep, they want to interact all the time, both are small and peppy and take very little to recharge. Both have alarms that [...]

Pwned

Well, 14 gold medals, thank you “own the podium” for giving up on your team on your own turf. The world counts gold medals, not total medals why don’t we? Congrats Olympic team Canada for showing up the pencil pushers.

Happy Birthday!

Well, all of Aishani’s parties are done -first birthday wise. It’s really been interesting to see “who” was there a year ago and who was able to make it out this time. Not to say anything bad about the people who were busy, because they would have come if they could have – but the [...]

What a year

This time last year, I was waiting to meet my baby together with Neelam who was getting ready for the OR. The temperature was -39 outside and I think I was a bit scared. Fast forward a year, Bug is the shining gem of my life (along with Neelam of course), it is +7 outside [...]

Short

I’ve just set up a URL shortener – this way, as long as I’ve got my domain up and running, I know those links are going to be good – at least at the first point. So if you see boora.ca/short/ URLs out there, they are mine.

iPad

iPad… I want one… maybe… we’ll have to see it in real life.

TCI Check… Flame… nope…

Well I took the girls to TCI and had a great time. You can see the full gallery here and read my Trip Advisor review here. It was quite something to say the least and it is a place that now rivals Disney in my heart. If I want a “do something” vacation, I’ll hit [...]
