We’re going out for supper at Mr. Mikes.
Aizlynn’s Fernie gift
Aizlynn asked me what I was doing for my birthday. I had nothing planned.
I know it seems weird to think that that question seemed weird. But it did. “Nothing …” I felt a bit… Anyway, in an email a few days later she offered to pay for three nights at a B&B in Fernie, BC during their Harvest Feast & Fest.
At the time, BC was rife with forest fires. Last year it was mid-September before a state of emergency was lifted. So I thought this year there would be no point in making reservations.
I also thought I’d be employed by then, but I’m not.
So I’m going. I’ll be there from Sept. 13 to 16, 2018.
happy birthday to me
Happy birthday to me.
Not for a few days, but soon.
speaking of ‘way back’
Do we need a way back to using paper? Do we need to abandon technology?
Digital Devices in the Classroom: A Learning Aid or Toxic Distraction for Kids?
The article talks about whether it is beneficial or not for kids to use technology in the classroom.
Way Back Machine
Has anyone heard of the Way Back Machine? It’s a set of archives from websites. Mine is in there. If you ever want to go way back in time, this is a way back to what my website used to look like.
You can even go back to how it started as allaninkorea.net.
It takes a few moments to get the archives to come up as this is … well … archived. Interesting nonetheless.
teardrop revisions
I have a list of revisions in my head regarding the teardrop trailer.
- Five feet wide, not four. If you’re going to build something, make it comfortable.
- Aluminum trailer, not steel. If you’re going to pull something, make it lightweight.
- Aluminum frame, not wood. If you’re going to build something up in the air to face the wind, make it stable. The walls should be fastened to aluminum. The doors should be inserted into an aluminum frame.
More ideas:
teardrop v 2.5
I’ve been working on this teardrop trailer (the computer model on Revit, not the real one with wood). This is the latest design.

retired domain names
I’m retiring three of my domain names: flexesl.ca, flexesl.com, and parkbridge.org.
min. 3 years experience
I’ve been searching non-stop for employment since convocation in April. I have had a few interviews and spoke with several employers, but pretty much all positions posted online require minimum 3 years’ experience. There are repeat job listings rewritten with “This is not an entry-level position” included in the job description.
