Archive for December, 2006
Taken on my walk around town last Sunday with the Canon A80. It’s such a difference world in a downtown core during the day on weekends. A completely different vibe. The army of suits and briefcases are absent, and there’s far less honking.
I went around this building a couple of times to look at it [...]

I Have No Idea Who These People Are…
0 Comments Published by Gail December 15th, 2006 in Toronto, cameraphoneI pass by MuchMusic (Canada’s equivalent of MTV) on my way home from work, so sometimes I stop by out of curiosity. I guess I’m too old for MuchMusic’s demographics if I have to ask, “Who are they???” But since I don’t watch TV — or own one — I suppose the whole cult of [...]
Toronto City Hall Christmas Tree

It was a little gusty this afternoon, so out of all the shots I took after work, these were the least blurry. I’d need a tripod for this situation, but I’m not keen to lug a tripod to work and back. So I made do by setting the camera atop a rubbish bin.

I took some video of the ice skating yesterday on my way home, hoping — not in a schadenfreude kind of way — that there would be a bit more falling and maybe the occasional wipeout so I’d use music with a surfing sort of tempo and the videoclip would be more interesting. No such, [...]
The silly version that I made with the Flickr Christmas flash hat. (There’s a beard version, too, but I wasn’t about to give the kids beards!) The “normal” version is here.
I got an envelope in the post filled with lovely drawings from the Ms, and a set of the older three Ms’ school photos. They’re [...]
Exhibit A:
I bought a latte yesterday at Starbucks in the Sick Kids Hospital (which has a pretty good selection of food vendors, FYI, out of the four big hospitals in that area), as I do from time to time. I looked at the sleeve and noticed some real irony here. Click on the pic to [...]
I carried a giant cellophane-wrapped snowman home on the subway today and watched everyone wonder the same thing that crossed my mind: is it filled with CHOCOLATE?!?
*munch munch*
Why, yes it is!
It must be said: I work with great people. The managers are all competing to outdo each other in decorating their offices to raise money [...]
