The next day, I explored Vancouver. It was a lovely sunny. In fact, I neglected to wear sunscreen and got sunburned. I foolishly carried around my rain jacket expecting the weatherman to be right and not thinking Vancouver in October could be so nice. First, I wandered around Gastown, which is the oldest area of […]
The next day I wandered around Seattle before driving to Vancouver. I walked down to Lake Union, wandered past the ships in [South Lake Union Park](http://www.cityofseattle.net/parks/parkspaces/southlakeunionpark.htm), and up some steps to Queen Anne Hill. I saw some seaplanes which fly to Victoria.   Then, I drove to Vancouver. It was raining the whole way […]
Two weeks ago, I took a week-long vacation driving to Canada. I spent the first night in Seattle. That night, I went to the restaurant, [SkyCity](http://www.spaceneedle.com/restaurant/), at the top of the Space Needle. The food was excellent. Expensive but worth it. The view was also magnificent. It would have been better in daylight but the […]
* Trust your eyes over the weatherman. If the weatherman says it is going to rain, but it is sunny outside, then you will carry around a rain jacket uselessly all day. Yesterday was a nice warm sunny day. * Always bring the nice umbrella. After the sunny day, it will rain constantly and having […]
I arrived in Vancouver today. The outskirts look a lot like Seattle or Portland with forested suburbs. The downtown is unique; it has a lot of glass towers. A lot of them look like apartment buildings. The only place I have seen something similar is pictures of Asian cities. The hotel I am staying is […]
I had this long entry (for a mobile one) about visiting the Space Needle when I accidentally hit a button and switched to another app. Blazer helpfully forgot the text entry field. So now I hate it.
This entry was posted from my Treo. Sure, I was sitting in front of my computer. But I could have been anywhere I was willing to type of the little keyboard. Which is fine for typing short messages like ‘Buy’, ‘You jerk’, or ‘I’ll call when I find a real computer’. But not for long […]
I have had my new Treo 650 for a week now and I love it. It replaces a old cell phone and Sony Clie. It is a little thicker than both of them but still small enough to fit in a pocket. I like not having to decide what piece of electronics to take and […]
Something interesting happened today at my apartment. I was sitting at my computer around 3pm when I heard a loud bang and the power went out. I looked outside and saw a car had run into the power pole on the corner. I went outside and called 911. The power pole had been broken in […]
A month ago I went to the [Portland Rose Garden](http://www.parks.ci.portland.or.us/Gardens/IntRoseTestGarden.htm) and took some photos. Here are some roses for Rose. [](/photostack/rosegarden)
