Wow… I didn’t even this this website existed. I’m so pleased to see it! [via]. I’m a huge Petit Nicolas fan! I’m pretty excited to see Histoires inédites du Petit Nicolas, Tome 2 is also out!  Nice! Also: Le blog du Petit Nicolas

If you haven’t heard, Firefox 2.0 has been released. If you’ve never used Firefox, you don’t know what you’re missing. Download it now! It’s far superior to IE (don’t even get me going on how…) but mostly you’ll see prettier websites and better response times. The add-ons are just as fun and make life much [...]

I love it when technology works with people to try to create and share the ‘human experience’. [via Fast Company issue 110 November 2006] From biomapping.net: Bio Mapping is a research project which explores new ways that we as individuals can make use of the information we can gather about our own bodies. Instead of [...]

We’re a household that’s is changing out most of our bulbs to CFLs. Please read this article and consider doing the same in your home. Recently the city and hydro company put together a program to give one bulb to each household. It’s a great idea for once you try out one of the newer [...]

It’s been very dark in the morning when I wake up since the sun usually has not yet risen. This is going to brighter when we change the Daylight Savings time this weekend. But before this change, I did get a photo of the sunrise this morning: If you live in an area that observe [...]

While I’ve no finishes to show off, I thought I’d show some work in progress. I’ve been working this piece on and off for quite a long time now. In fact, since I finished Savannah’s Curtsy I have put off a new start for the sake of finishing this one. Here’s where I am of [...]

As I’ve mentioned before, this was the first year in many that I found classes I wanted to take and some interest in going to the CreativFestival. Weekend of October 20-22 was the event at the Metro Toronto Convention Center South Building. I was signed on for two knitting classes, both on Cables, one with [...]

This past Canadian Thanksgiving I packed my suitcase and took myself to NYC to visit all my friends. It was the first trip in over a year, (I’m shocked myself!) and it was well overdued. I stayed with two friends, Cynthia in Brooklyn at her new apartment and Theresa in her apt in Manhattan. As [...]

I’ve been on a personal mission of sorts to go to every major museum and now I might have to do libraries! Check out this post of awesome looking libraries to go see in your travels. While I find the whole ‘porn’ reference strange, it can’t deny the power of the photos. [via] Just for [...]

at graphpaper.com, there’s a 6 part series on Class and Design that is fascinating. Part One. [via] A recent issue of Fast Company and Part Six of this series also mentions Antenna Design. They are the ones who designed the MetroCard machines for the MTA (NYC). I was recently once again using the machines and [...]

In time for Halloween, the Bent Creek Boo Z25 kit is done! Again, a fun and fast stitch. Yes, I managed to mess up something on it, but it’s about enjoying the process and not needing to make it perfect, so I left it ‘wrong’. I still like it. I had a nice meeting of [...]

I was away back in New York visiting my friends this past long weekend. While I was away, G took some photos of Flour. Here are the great photos: Look how dirty she is with those brownish paws. I’m the cutest dog ever! Expect to see some NY photos in future blog entries.

I just went to walk Flour and hand to run back since it started to storm snow! A lot of wind and snow blowing sideways like it was January instead of October. But it’s so typical of Canada… there’s always snow before Halloween. And if you’re unlucky, you’re in your costume and has to trick [...]

One of the tagging trends that I enjoy right now is geotagging. The ideal way to do this is to have GPS devices that will record the precise locations for the application in question. But most of us don’t have that, and it’s perhaps something we’ll see more of in the days to come. So, [...]

I’m really liking how this looks. I might not try to use the different colours or maybe as many different colours in mine. The details are lovely and should be a nice frilly girly touch. SO MUCH YARN, SO LITTLE TIME!: Socktoberfest feature: The Latvian Twist Cuff
