Borrowed from Matthew. :)
If you fast forward the video below to around the 2:55 point you can catch the Jr High kids/staff reaction to the announcement.

Flickr added a little easter (or would it be Christmas) egg. Any photo that you add a note to with either 'ho ho ho hat' or 'ho ho ho beard' will give you a little beard and/or hat to add to your photo.

See the photo on flickr here.

Flickr also recently removed the upload limit for pro users (previously 2GB/month) and also upped the limit for free accounts from 20MB to 100MB/month.

No better time than now to give the gift of flickr. :)

The above is my 'badge' from twitter.com. You can tell the world what you're doing at any time of the day through the web/mobile/gtalk. So now you can follow along with your friend's boring lives more closely than before.

Needless to say, I'll be addicted to it for the next little while if you want to follow along.

Ricky Gervais from Wired:

Until we actually have the virtual suits and it's like The Matrix, I'm not investing too much time in it. When I was growing up, they said that in the year 2000 we wouldn't have to walk to work because the pavements would move and we'd all have jetpacks. So they lied to me once and they'll probably lie to me again.

Birthday Girl Gets a Crown, Originally uploaded by iChris.

I'm not sure if I'm allowed to say her age to the public, but we celebrated Sue's birthday on Saturday with friends. We ended up at Saba's (google map link) which served up an awesome African style supper for us. I'd highly recommend it if you're up for trying something different than the usual Boston Pizza/Fuddrucker's/pasta Saskatoon seems to have an abudance of.

Thanks to everyone for helping make it a great birthday party - (no thanks to certain family members who can't keep their mouth's shut!)

The countdown to Mexico can now begin! :)
