 The surviving dot com empires are getting bigger: Blogger, who provide the log/posting services for this web site, got bought by Google two weeks ago. Google seems to be on track to take over the world: they're making some excellent tools, and buying others. Yahoo's got to be getting nervous...Wednesday, February 26, 2003
 This weekend marked the first time I used the Autoshare service I signed up for last month. It's really convenient: there's an Autoshare car parked in a lot opposite my apartment. If it's free, I can book it any time and pay for it by the hour and by the kilometre. It's much more convenient than renting a car, especially for short trips. Saturday's was a good example: we just went down to the Loblaws on Harbourfront to get some groceries. Unfortunately, Saturday wasn't a perfect test example, as the prior person with the car was late getting it back, but the weather was horrible so it was understandable. I estimate that the trip cost me about $5-$6, better than the TTC given that Anne came with me.Monday, February 17, 2003
 After three straight weeks of work, most evenings and both weekends, it was wonderful to get away. Anne and I went up to a beautiful bed & breakfast in Penetanguishine, Canopy of Trees. We had a great and relaxing weekend, cross-country skied in Awenda Provincial Park, and walked around the town's Winterfest celebrations. On the way back home we stopped for lunch at St. Marie among the Hurons.
This morning on my way to work it felt like we'd been away for much longer than 2 days... "Clarissa said that Albert asked Tina out on a quasi-date to the opera. I said, 'Quasi-date? To the opera? I could go by myself to the opera, and that would practically count as a date.'"
--A guy in the next booth at Triple Rock. I liked this one... Anne and I really enjoyed the COC operas we saw this month: A Masqued Ball and Jenufa. Monday, February 03, 2003
Really, really, REALLY busy. Project work approaching 12-14 hours per day 7 days per week. Should die back to a reasonable amount next week, so look for an update then. |
