Product Management, Productivity and Personal musings
This past weekend, Nick's parents wanted to visit the Capilano Suspension Bridge. The Bridge is a pretty well-known Vancouver tourist attraction and I had been to it on a high school band trip more than ten (eek!) years ago. I didn't remember it well and was a little bit skeptical about the whole thing, since …
{This is actually my left wrist, the worse of the two. The radiologist labelled it wrong.} Today marks two years since I broke both of my arms falling off my bike on the way to work. I wanted to do something to celebrate last year but I ended up having the last of three surgeries …
... my house. I snapped these while Nick and I walked back from returning a co-op car this weekend. It was a perfect fall day, crisp but sunny, perfect for taking photos.

I think Thanksgiving is my favourite holiday and this year was extra lovely. We went up to Whistler with some friends and cooked the whole weekend, interspersed with games of crib, Great Dalmuti, walks and wine. It was cozy and lovely and just like a Thanksgiving should be.
{Heaven with red wine.} Last Friday I got a massive craving for pasta carbonara and having never made it before, figured I should give it a whirl! Turns out, it's a super easy dish to make, though it doesn't entail an alfredo sauce as I originally thought, is just as decedent tasting. Nick and I …
Most graphic designers swear by their Macs. This cute, little video is a tribute to the beautifully designed computer that let's designers make ideas real, on the day the man who designed them has gone.
