There is a exposition at the MDQ of Tom Thomson’s works. Been there. Done that.

I think that’s what makes these paintings special to me. Anyone for a quick trip to Qc City?

Another cold inspired story: a Russian man had to be rescued after his penis stuck to a frozen bus shelter while he was urinating.

Classic… well at least he could cry for help, unlike when your tongue gets stuck somewhere.

A Chinese man has broken his own record by standing naked in sub-zero Siberian winter conditions for 4 hours in temps that reached -29°C.

Awesome!! Did he actually stay standing still and upright? Impressive. I hope it wasn’t windy. Were there bets on how many digits he’d loose in the adventure? Or maybe he had none left to loose, since he apparently held the previous record of 3h46, set in 2000…

CURRENT CONDITIONS
Nov 29 2002 1:00PM – Dorval Airport
Heavy snow

I prefer the french version:

Conditions actuelles Aéroport de Dorval
Nuageux. Neige et poudrerie élevé

Poudrerie is the seal of quality of a good tempête.
And I’m listening to Printemps été from the album « Menteur » by Jean Leloup…

Now the fun part is that I actually love this weather. I’ll happily walk 40 minutes in it tonight. Plus the dog walk (the dog loves snow too). And I might just x-c ski this week-end.

Adam C. Engst is a journalist that I respect a lot. Apart from writing the ISKM, which really helped me make the jump from the BBS scene to the Internet, he publishes TidBITS, a Mac-centric (sorry everybody) webzine that’s been around forever.

So ACE just published a nice little summary of everyone’s favorite US Law: the DMCA. In ACE’s words…

Hey, this makes me think: what ever happened of XNS?

On my last order, I forgot to add something. Ok, what I really want is this puppy, but for the 3x price difference, I’ll settle pour la marque maison.

Can’t wait for the trails to open!

Yeah, so basically, if anyone is ordering anything, let me know so I can piggy back: the free shipping deal is over. (I wonder if I’ll ever find a girl who’d want to have her wedding list at MEC… hey, I know someone who did)

Did anyone notice the pile of old concrete slabs by the store’s construction site? I wonder what they’ll end up doing with those. Anyways, the artist rendering on the website was clearly made by someone who never saw the actual site… It includes trees and grass… Two things that don’t exist between l’Acadie and the train tracks Yet it ignores the surrounding monstrous stores.

Two nice set of pictures from Montréal and Québec taken by french tourists. including shots of couple very elaborate graffitis. I guess I just tune out and don’t notice them most of the time, but some of those are quite nice, unlike tags or other scribblings that just seem to pop up everywhere.

C’est Brightblue qui va être contente: le pont est réouvert.

Vu le film de ski de Warren Miller ce vendredi.

Pas de message social ou politique, mais pas non plus un film d’hollywood typique. Et les prises de vues étaient superbes

Constats: la planète est jolie, je suis pas mal moumoune en ski et j’ai hâte à la neige.

Listen.com to Offer Dollar-a-Track Burn-Your-Own CDs…

Cnn.com and /. also picked up on this yesterday apparently.
So will Listen.com offer the same service to unsigned artists? Like EMusic does? I mean, it’s all about distribution, right? (oh yeah, and it requires a Windows client and they dare use the Celestial Jukebox name)

Hier au lunch j’ai été témoin d’une conversation intéressante sur les feux de forêt et leur effets.

Ce matin je tombe sur cette série d’articles sur le sujet de l’art de la régénération forestière.

Actually… I ain’t got any… damn…

Euh… Free the mouse! (umm… that one isn’t exactly mine…)

Can’t think under pressure….

Ma rame préférée est une Ray Kettlewell (une Ray’s Special de 64″). Par un heureux hasard de Google, j’ai vu qu’il a un site maintenant.

Mon amie Eugénie est en Chine, dans la province du Guanxi, pour enseigner l’anglais.
Je suis un peu jaloux, envieux, content? L’ensemble de ces réponses?
