Google launches Big Table (but I beat them to it by nearly a year!)
Whatever, Google. Big Table isn’t all that, I had that idea a year ago, launched it, got the tshirt and moved on. Want proof? Here’s me and my Big Table hanging out together last summer.
Spending Christmas with the family
Reason #3 spending Xmas back at home is worthwhile: Talking Julie into eating an uncooked Pogo (corn dog) covered in Nutella for the measly sum of $12 in small change. Julie likes pogos with Nutella, originally uploaded by thatcanadiangirl.
iStockphoto pricing goes up: Getting greedy, are we?
Since I started blogging, iStockphoto has been my source of images to illustrate and accompany blog entries. The images were once cheap enough that a blogger who made no revenue like myself could afford to pepper the occasional post with an image to joosh it up a bit. Now, however, I think I’m going to [...]
Felix catfood: Which one would you feed your kittens?
Felix catfood: Which one would you feed your kittens?, originally uploaded by thatcanadiangirl. Out of the pack we bought recently, there was one pouch (on the right) which was completely empty (yet sealed), then the middle pouch was completely unbranded, which I find really bloody odd. And finally the left one is the “control”, the [...]
Find out if you’re still a child at heart in one easy step
Does this look as tempting to you as it does to both Russell and I? It’s like there’s an invisible force field pulling me towards those. Not sure if I would’ve managed to resist, had I been there!
Jack & Rose checking out Super Mario Galaxy
Jack & Rose checking out Super Mario Galaxy, originally uploaded by thatcanadiangirl. In their professional opinion, the game rates 11 out of 10. With the exception of intro scenes, which could do with some basic anti-aliasing. Best bit? That little blue hand that moves around the screen, definitely!
Jack and Rose: The kittens are home safe and sound
I promised everyone photos as soon as the kittens get home. I expected to have to stick the camera in the cat box, where they’d be hiding all nervous about their new home. Rubbish! They were chilled during the whole journey home, after about 5 minutes of meowing, then once home, they explored the entire [...]
FOWA: Some evening fun with Diggnation
After a number of interesting panels in the day, it was time for beers and Diggnation. Think of being 10 years old and looking up to your biggest, most favourite music star. Now imagine the excitement if you were told you’d get to meet them. That’s how I felt yesterday. I filmed a good part [...]
mobileCamp London
I’m spending the weekend in London for mobileCamp, a sort of ad-hoc gathering of people who work with mobile, or just outright love them. I’ve already posted a few pics on Flickr, and will add more throughout the weekend. The first panel was on the topic of S60 Web Widgets, which was a bit on [...]
