See ya later yellow paint! At long last we are getting the interior of our house painted! Woot Woot! A friend of Liz’s is giving us a really good price and unfortunately painting is one of those things that I cannot STAND doing for larger areas (such as the entire living room and kitchen!) so we’re getting it done professionally. Sweet!

Unfortunately, that means that we’re living in a pig sty for the next few days while things are [...]

Well this is a first for the my blog, but I figure I’ve got a pretty good readership of smart people here on the Island, so I figure I’ll post it. I recently was contacted with one of those “Do you know anyone looking for a job?” questions and although I don’t personally, perhaps someone out there is.

I don’t know much about the company but it’s called Direct Sales Force, and they are looking to hire a number of [...]

I really don’t mean to sound off on the deliver agencies around the Island and over all (like my rant on UPS and my really bad experience with one of Purolators drivers), but I have to say that they really don’t have the residential customers in mind when they do business. Should they? Well that’s up to them. Personally I think they should really have the non-business customers in mind a lot especially now when online shopping is going gang-busters [...]

So apparently I’m kind of on a spending spree, first it was the new computer – and now, myself and Liz have ordered iPhones.… (no, I’m not real happy about this being so close to having my line of credit paid off), but the time has come. Both Liz and I have saved up for awhile and we both really love the iPhones, and the new iPhone 4 now has us hook, line and sinker. Every time I play with [...]

So instead of doing a video of the official drawing, I simply went to http://www.random.org/ and put in the amount of comments I received (which was 12 in total) on my post back on July 29th.

I put in Min 1, max 12 and the random number turned out to be 9!

Going down the list and it turns out Jill Hardy was the winner of the free hand car wash!! I will be contacting her shortly to figure out [...]

I wear contacts, in fact I just got another years supply not that long ago that should do me for awhile, but one thing that I never really noticed before but do you realize how expensive saline solution is? It is! $14.99 for two bottles unless you get it on sale and it lasts what.. maybe 2 months if you wear your contacts regularly. There’s not much we can do about that as we need the contact solution in [...]

I broke down yesterday and ordered a new computer. I’ve got lots of reasons for doing this but the number one was that it’s time – and mine is having a tough time keeping up with today’s tasks. I am currently running a Pentium D 2.8 which is Dual Core, and will work wonders for my parents where it’s heading – but for all the photography pixel-crunching and the odd video and over-all hard drive space – It’s time for [...]

I have a very big love-hate relationship with Future Shop. I love that they are here and that I can go pick up the latest (not always) tech in a matter of minutes if I wanted it badly enough, but I hate that they mark up certain items and really screw the people that don’t know any better or fail to do a little research.

They are however, a business. And businesses need to make money – Future Shop [...]

Today was one of those wonderful days where I literally had nothing on the agenda to do. The best part is that I had actually planned to do nothing … and for the most part, I did a good job of achieving that. A few weeks ago my roommate had decided to move out so over the last few days he’s been moving his things from the room downstairs. Ironically enough, Liz met a new “CFA” (you all watched Regis [...]

There are certain benefits to being a photographer – certainly you get to meet a lot of amazing people and it’s really exciting to get a great shot that you can’t wait to show off, but another benefit which I just found out Tuesday at the PEI Photo Club’s monthly meeting is that you have a lot of business owners in there, and some of them have some awesome ideas.

Last Tuesday, shortly after the meeting began, two folks stood up [...]
