Things I’ll (Eventually) Miss about Edmonton

You don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone. Well, to be fair, that’s not exactly true. I’ve left cities before, and I’ve missed aspects of them a lot. So now, wisened, I get to enjoy things as they happen.
When Helene and I moved to Edmonton, I didn’t expect to like it very much. I [...]

Life at BioWare – July 2008

One of my purposes in creating this blog has been to write about my work. I have been doing very little of that in the last months, and there’s a simple reason for this: I’m working on an unannounced project, which means every little piece of information could be damaging in the long-term to the [...]

A Tiramisu Full of Win

Hmm… Tiramisu…
Saturday night was the “BioWare Food Club @ Home”: a house party, hosted by Theresa and Alain, for the food enthusiasts of BioWare. (Yes, I had a hand in setting it up.) Dozens of guests and dishes converged on Theresa and Alain’s place, and we got to enjoy an immense variety of meals and [...]

NO CARRIER

Wow, has it been three months already?
You know how it goes… You see a friend every day, and you have tons of stories to tell them. But don’t see them for a year, and the next time you meet, you’ll be hard-pressed to find one interesting story to tell them. Know the feeling?
That’s a bit [...]

Work and the City

Now that Helene and I have been in Edmonton for three weeks, the question I get from my family and most of my friends is, naturally: how do you find it?

Back to Work!

Yesterday (February 11th) was my first day at BioWare. Yep, that means I’m officially employed again! Whew, it was about time.
Obviously, my first day went by in a blur. It’s amazing to see how busy I am already, and it took all of 4 hours for me to get sucked into meetings and critical questions [...]

Where the hell have I been?

I’m back with a new blog! Given that I promised I’d create one more than a year ago, I’d say I’m pretty late; so I won’t hold it against all of you who moved on to greater and better blogs in my absence.
Most likely, the majority of you know me in real life, and are [...]
