Product Management, Productivity and Personal musings
With the Labour Day long weekend upon us (and plans for a trip to Portland, sadly scrapped), there are quite a few things on my to do list. Yes, I should be soaking up the last bits of summer (though I just have a feeling, summer is long from over ... wishful thinking). Since I've …

{Last weekend, we stopped at Nick's parents' cabin on the way home from a wedding in Innisfail to pick fruit and harvest the garden. Some times it's just nice to be out in the sun, doing physical work.} The last two weeks have been so fun but so hectic! We've been to the Motherland and …
Every time I come back to Alberta, I'm struck with how beautiful it is. Maybe it's because I grew up here, but I don't think so. The colours are magnificent, especially this year, with all of the rain. But, I'll let you be the judge.
I love being part of the process of book making, but my book making doesn't look like this! Above is a video of the making of Jonathan Safran Foer's Book of Codes. He basically made a book from another book. (Mind a little blown? Ya, me too. Check out the finished product, here.)
{My sister and I in 1987. Terri Whetstone photo.} Today is my sister's birthday. If I could have anyone in the world for a sibling, I'd still pick her. She's probably the funniest person I know and the most loyal. Happy birthday Ann! Can't wait to celebrate with you this weekend.
I mentioned in a small joys post from about two weeks ago that I had just got a book back from the printer that I was pretty proud of. Here are a few more pictures, just because I think the photography is amazing (it was done by the author, not me) and because maybe I …
Remember awhile back when I was lamenting my lack of guestbook? Well, I finally got one, er, found one. When I was cleaning out my bedside table to paint it (which you can see, here), I found a lovely Japanese-style book (as in it has one long page that is folded accordion style) that I …
I came across this video yesterday (well, Nick sent it to me). I love the idea of wearing men's shirts but since most men aren't anywhere near my height, men's shirts tend to fall below my knees, in a not-so-attractive way. This video shows how to convert a guy's shirt into a dress, a skirt …
This weekend was spent in Whistler with a group of girlfriends. We had a lot of fun: painting our toe nails, eating delicious food (I made pancakes, again), drinking wine, swimming in the lake and gossiping more than was probably good for us! It was a really nice way to recharge before a very busy …
{Last night's dinner was delicious! (You can see more photos here.) Nick cooked and Laura made dessert. We said good bye to Maia who's heading back to Montreal to resume law school. We'll miss you!} This week was a quick but productive one! I've started a few new projects that I'm really excited about. The …
