I know I rarely post these days...but this article I think is a must read with regard to resource management in health...

Depeche Mode North American tour details.

Please warm up please quick!! The -26 C high (-14 F) is not cutting it...especially compared to what I was dealing with a few days ago. I know it's a dry cold...but it really stings ;_;

Love,

Once again, that time of year :D

If you want a card (and this year, I AM going to get them done during December), drop off your e-mail address in this entry (screened for your protection). If I managed to forget to send you a card last year (I think I sent everyone one -_-), let me know and I'll make sure to get you a special card (aka not in my bag o' cards).

For those a little uneasy about trusting LJ with addresses, you can e-mail it to darkfacimile@gmail.com :D

Happy holidays!
Stephen

Hola all...

Will be in San Francisco from December 5th-11th for a conference/vacation. Suggestions on where to go/eat/?meet-up are encouraged :D

This comes courtesy of ming_ling who I had the chance to meet yesterday as we both happened to be in Vancouver :D (and sadly, both of us got trapped by Book Off again ^^;; )

Hullo all:

I have the occasion to be in Washington DC next week...and I am looking for suggestions of things to do/visit and places to eat during my two and a bit free days. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated :D

Just as a one sentence update that I'm still about...and am hanging in there. Am using Facebook as primary communication source now and more just lurking on LJ.

Drop your address off if you want a card. Addresses are screened...[clearly, it's obvious I HAVEN'T started yet...so you can still get one if you want one XD]. Also, I do note that the word choice of "Holiday"* card was intentional XD

*Isn't Chinese New Year a holiday as well XD;;;;

It's that time once again...holiday card time!

If you would like a holiday card, post your address here and one shall be sent your way. Entries are screened. To make things interesting, the cards will likely be done in a sleep deprived state XD;;
