1.1 Gigawatts!?

Flux Capacitor

I was going through Engadget when I found this post. Now I can get me my very own Flux-Capacitor. Someone quick! Find a Delorean, 1.1 Gigawatts and a place where we can hit 88 mile per hour. I hope it comes with Mr. Fusion so I don’t have to go nuclear.

A little bit of everything

The day that I took this shot, it had been pouring rain for most of the day, and had let up in the afternoon. In fact, we even had a chance to see a double rainbow for the brief moment we actually saw the sun. It was also our Tree Trimming Party at work so we were all staying a little later. I was taking a few pics of the party, when I looked outside to see if the weather was any different. That’s when I saw this and had to snap it.

Thanks everyone for coming out to my Birthday dinner. I had a lot of fun and hope that you did as well. My jaw and abs were hurting so much from the non-stop laughter. Thanks for all the gifts as well: they are all awesome.

Wishlist mailing list

I’ve started a wishlist mailing list for the individual lists.  Lindz was asking how to claim a gift without the original person finding out what they are getting.  In answer to that I have started a mailing list that people can have their names added to receive updates on gifts. So, please mention that you would like to be added on the comments for that list and email everyone which gift you would like to claim.  If anyone has already claimed it, please respond and let people know.

iLost my iPod

Lost: iPod Nano 2Gb 2nd Gen Nano.

So this Sunday I was shopping Metrotown with Lina and her nephew Tyson when I lost my iPod.   I don’t know exactly how or when, but what I do know is that went AWOL at Metro.  As usual, we were listening to Maroon 5 in the car–Tyson’s favourite band–in the car, so I know that it was still in my possession.  We did our round of shopping, headed back to the car and took off to get my car washed.  I thought it might be a fun experience going through the car wash with Tyson.  Again, he wanted to listen to Maroon 5 but the iPod was nowhere to be found.  Looked in my bag, Lina’s bag, in all the compartments and under the seats.  Nothing.

After the car wash, which took a while because it was busy, we headed back to Metrotown to see if maybe it was dropped by the parking stall we were in.  Nothing.  At this point I had given up on the iPod and decided to go back to Lina’s Mum’s so we could grab her stuff and drop her off at the ferry.  Well on the drive home Tyson said that he was very sad.  I asked him why and he said “because uncle Ryoh lost  his  iPod.”  His one comment cheered me up for the rest of the day.  This guy sure knows how to make me smile.  Too cute.

Anyway, I’m still a little saddened by the loss of my iPod as it was just shy of 6 months old.  Oh well.  I guess it’s my fault for not paying enough attention.

As Lina and I were walking around Victoria this weekend, I noticed this lone cherry blossom. It’s a cold mid-November day (just below 10 Celsius) and it’s been windy. How strange. Is it a late or early blossom?
