We’ve decided to get out last weekend and spent a few days in New York state. Current New England season is mud, but we got some excellent spring snowboarding done so it was great. We did a bobsled run in Lake Placid – you can check out more pictures on Flicker if you follow the link from the side panel.

I just watched the Rick Mercer Report and they were having a female hairy leg contest in Whitehorse.

It is always fun to find your face on the Internet when you least expect it. Here are some fun pictures from 2004 Linux Symposium closing party.

Here is a picture of Chris and myself with our Linux pal Tony from Intel.

And another one with Werner from Argentina

This picture is particularly funny because it was taken just before Werner found out how seriously we take ‘3:OOAM no more drinking’ laws. He neatly escaped forced repossession of his cuba libre by suddenly disappearing.

All these and more fun pictures are brought to you by our favourite Linux chick Julie.

I magically hurt my back earlier this week and was bedridden for over three days. From this incapacitated state I had nothing to do but read novels and watch the Olympics. I always preferred winter to summer Olympics, but have not watched much winter sports since I was young. Man, have things changed! I was amazed at women’s moguls event and we watched skeleton yesterday with our jaws pretty much glued to the floor. It is nice to have two countries to cheer on, it means more medals! Yay!

The canal finally froze over and I’ve got my wish. It is just as well since I don’t think I will have a chance to go many more times this year. Next week we’re going to Lil’ Thomas’ b-day party and the weekend after that is Belle & Sebastian concert. In the mean time there is school and work and all the other fun things in life.

Nevertheless, it was great to get some sweet sweet ice time. Even though I can go faster on skates when being absolutely still and pulled along by Chris than by the power of my feet I really enjoy being out in the winter and moving. Yay!

To counterbalance yesterday’s irritations, today was all about cute.

Here is a cute kitten for you all to enjoy. I saw the picture on cuteoverload.com who got it from kittenwar. Cute!
