I make things on the internet
We were doing some stuff with Paint Shop Pro today at camp, I sat there doing this picture. It was doing it on the projector after everyone else got started, a few of the kids noticed but the rest kept working on whatever image they were creating.
Omar emailed me this photo that he took of me at camp. I never saw him take it, so it was fun to find in my inbox. This is also my first attempt at using the uploading functionality built into Moveable Type and Kung-Log. 
Let the masses rejoice, as parliament has voted to strike down an act that would have seen dwarf-tossing banned in Ontario.
No more wee little kids this week, we’re doing computer camp with the older kids. It’s fun, half way through the day and i haven’t had to yell at anyone or tell them what to do fifteen kabillion times. I also have access to a computer the whole time, that’s always fun.
Apparently, the Canadian government has decided to become a drug dealer.
Meanwhile, a packet of 30 seeds from the federal government will cost $20 and dried pot will cost $5 a gram.
According to the RCMP, the street price of the drug varies from $10 to $25 a gram, Cripps-Prawak said.
“We did not try to be competitive with the black market,” she said. “What we did try to do is establish a price which is reasonable, based on costs associated with the production and implementation of the program.”
The marijuana will come from an underground lab in Flin Flon, Man., where the government is growing the plant for research into its medicinal use.
The ‘underground’ lab part makes it sound pretty shifty, but it’s the truth… the lab is in an abandoned mine. And, “We did not try to be competitive with the black market,” that’s pure gold.
Estonian wife carriers have won the international wife-carrying championship for the sixth year in a row. The grand prize is the woman’s weight in beer, approximately 45 litres of ale.
One week of camp down, seven left to go. Last week was kindergarten to grade 3, it’ll be the same this week. The highlight probably had to be one of the kids in my group on our trip to the zoo. One of the kids in my group had a really whiny high-pitch voice, but he was well-mannered and easy to look after.
We were at a fence in front of the lion’s cage, and he had his head down inbetween the bars, looking at the cage. Me and Michael here him say, “Excuse me, Excuse me.”, in his whiny high-pitch voice. Michael looks down at him and says, “Is your head stuck between the bars?” He says, “Yes.” in the whiny high-pitch voice, and kind of trailing off. It might not come out so well without the live imitation of the voice, but it was really cute and funny. His head wasn’t really stuck, he just misjudged it a bit because his hat was pretty thick.
If I stay in Canada after school ends, I’ll probably end up living in Vancouver; temperate climate with snow and cold one hour away by car. If I go abroad, it’s likely that I’ll be back in Canada by 2010, the year Vancouver gets to host the olympic winter games.
My sidebar thing doesn’t seem to be updating anymore, it could be this new version of kunglog, but that doesn’t seem quite right. First day of camp tomorrow, i must prepare for the onslaught of little ones. Be brave. Be brave.
Update: of course it wasn’t the software, it was a human error: no closee off anchor tag mean no link appears.
I haven’t really been up to a whole lot lately. We’ve been doing planning and whatnot for camp, that’s where the day goes. The night goes to me sleeping, watching movies and touring around town. I’ve been trying to do some more reading lately; been through You Shall Know Our Velocity (it had me laughing out loud) and the first Harry Potter book, i figure that i should be done the first three in a couple of days. Go summer!
