Petawawa

This past week I have been working from Petawawa. I was sent here along with a few other people from DST to do designated substance surveys in 40 building on base here. My role was quality control - basically I take the samples that the field guys get and organize them and ensure nothing was missed. So this week has pretty much been me sitting in a hotel room on base going through samples for most of the day, doing as much other work as possible but not really getting anything accomplished there for lack of time and then at night hanging out with the other people here and going out for dinner somewhere in Petawawa or Pembroke. I was supposed to meet up with a friend from high school who is currently living in Petawawa but I ran out of time and he is unfortunately not going to be here next week when we have to come back - which really sucks.
I have realized that I don't mind this work - though I haven't been doing the sampling which is much more exhausting work than mine.

Muh Na Muh Na

I remember seeing this on the muppets when I was younger and later found it on the net and downloaded a version of it.



Many people have done versions of this since it was created and WoW users are no exception. The next image is two taurens and an undead character from World of Warcraft doing the same thing. I think it is one of my favourite imitations of the original.

Colour to a Dog

"It is no more crazy than a dog finding a rainbow. Dogs are colourblind, Gretchen. They don't see colour. Just like we don't see time. We can feel it, we can feel it passing, but we can't see it. It's just like a blur. It's like we're riding in a supersonic train and the world is just blowing by, but imagine if we could stop that train, eh, Gretchen? Imagine if we could stop that train, get out, look around, and see time for what it really is? A universe, a world, a thing as unimaginable as colour to a dog, and as real, as tangible as that chair you're sitting in. Now if we could see it like that, really look at it, then maybe we could see the flaws as well as the form. And that's it; it's that simple. That's all I discovered. I'm just a... a guy who saw a crack in a chair that no one else could see. I'm that dog who saw a rainbow, only none of the other dogs believed me."

The Bus Strike Song

The OC Transpo workers were on strike for 51 days. The strike is over now, the O-Train is on the tracks today and the priority buses will be back on the roads next week (mind you full service won't be back until possibly April). It no longer matters who was at fault, just that it happened and will soon be completely over.
