Tidbits

  • Sleepover at Ikea - Maybe this is the only way to get to the $1 early enough…

  • A ramen bath - Japanese spa with special baths resembling instant noodles.  I wanna play!

  • Old age homes for dogs - 1) Old dogs don’t like to be abandoned at strange places.  2) Playing with young puppies will probably cause the older dogs to die faster due to exhaustion.

  • A remote-controlled pigeon - Oh the poor thing…

  • An article on a brilliant method of teaching grade schoolers about bats and rabies.  I smell a lawsuit.

  • Will trade beer for Crumpler bags.  Tempted by the beanbag and messenger bags…

January 23, 2008 | Travels, Waterloo |

So I’ll be off on my first trip of the year next week to Seattle/Vancouver/Whistler.  Going to attend a conference in Vancouver, so will try and maximize my time out west.  Should be fun, trying to balance lectures and work at the same time.  This will be my first…

October 29, 2007 | Food, Waterloo |

So with Mandarin and calligraphy classes at Renison twice a week, we’ve been eating out a lot.  Specially at University Plaza.  Ironic that I really didn’t eat there much when I was in school.  So here are the places we like:
