On Monday, I went to Harrison Lake with the folks. It was touch and go weather-wise, but it stayed mostly cloudy with a bit of sun peeking out whenever it can. It almost took us 2 hours driving to get there with a short stop at KFC. We didn’t go the Highway 1 way, rather taking the Highway 7 (and semi slower speed 90km/hr vs 110km/hr) route. There were no one around so I assume it was an easier ride. (I wasn’t the one driving…)

Quack.

 

Just Peaceful.

 

Showboating, eh?

The entire time we were joking how there was no difference looking at the pictures taken at Harrison Lake or from the stops we took at Alaska. Giant lake, trees, glaciers. Hahaha. I guess it’s because we’re so used to seeing this that it doesn’t faze us anymore.


I haven’t be very active with photo retouching and uploading them to Flickr or Facebook. I’ve been pretty slack on myself this week. I find myself playing Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 the past few days and today started playing Sims 2 again. It certainly brings back memory seeing the old legacy families that I used to have. (I remembered to save the neighbourhoods and the downloadables!)

It’s a Late Night edition of Friday Five… of Links!
  • Shit My Students Write – Students BS their work every day. Now you get to see how bad it is. Don’t eat or drink while you read this.
  • Nerdi - A collection of useful sites and tools for web design, such as the Grid System, Colour Generator, etc. I definitely recommend bookmarking this!
  • Dribbble - Looking for inspiration? Look no further to this site where users post bits and pieces of their WIPs (Work-In-Progresses???).
  • GetGlue - Like Foursquare, check into what you’re doing or watching to earn stickers (..and the points don’t matter!). You can even early physical copies of the sticker. I’m still waiting for my order… it’s been 2 months, I think. Whoops.
  • Ninite  – This site should be pretty popular and well-known. But nothing like reiterating it again. Select the programs you want and it downloads all in a batch! It includes useful programs like web browsers, media, run-time, messenger programs.
PS: No, I have not seen Harry Potter yet. /hides
Also, I think I’m going to forgo the tags. It’s pretty useless if I already have them sorted by categories. Going to fix that tomorrow or Sunday, depending if I go out tomorrow.
