Paul van Dyk at Guvernment

Last night(June 24) me and a few friends went to see DJ Paul van Dyk(Ranked number 2 DJ in the world) perform at Guvernment nightclub in Toronto. I didn't go to the party with many expections. First of all I was worried that Guvernment would be overpacked with people(it's usually impossible to move, forget dance - that's how packed it gets), but most importantly I was worried that Paul van Dyk would play the same set he played 2 months earlier in Montreal, and everywhere in general for the past 6 months.

To my big surprise Guvernment wasn't overpacked and Paul van Dyk played a completely new set. Not sure why people didn't come for Paul van Dyk, after all PVD is as popular as Tiesto here in Canada, and Tiesto's party two weeks earlier had way more people.

Paul van Dyk played mostly hard driving techno and tech-trance. Not much emotional banging Trance that he is well known for. My friends were somewhat dissapointed since they expected more melodies. I was actually quite happy with the set, since it was a good refreshment from a typical Paul van Dyk. Paul played for almost 3 hours.

This was definitely a great party. Possibly the best party at Guvernment yet.

The wonders of photography...

Finally, two months after buying a Canon Powershot S60 I got to read it's instruction manual today. My knowledge of digital photography has been really minimal, so reading that instruction manual really opened my eyes to the wonders of photography. I was amazed at how many camera options one can configure in order improve the quality of the pictures. After reading the manual, I turned to Google to find more resources and tutorials on digital photography, and quickly found an excellent website http://www.dcviews.com that has an incredible collection of tutorials on all kinds of topics related to digital photography. Obviously I cannot become a great photographer right away, but I hope that after reading all that information today, my future pictures are going to be at least slightly better than the ones I've been taking up until now.

Trip to Santa Barbara and Los Angeles

This past weekend(Nov 13,14), myself and three other Google interns from University of Waterloo went on a trip to Santa Barbara and Los Angeles. While Los Angeles might seem like a typical destination for a US visitor, one might wonder - "Why Santa Barbara? What's so special about it?" Well, as it turns out, back in the day a lot of us were avid viewers of soap opera "Santa Barbara", an so were kinda curious to see what the real Santa Barbara city looks like. And so, early morning on Nov 13 we departed to Santa Barbara on our newly rented Kia Rio. The weather forecast looked very promising - around 23 degrees celcius for both days of the weekend. Amazing, considering it's a middle of November. We arrived in Santa Barbara around 4PM. The town looked great. However, it somehow felt like a toy town. It's hard to explain. If you've watched the movie Truman Show you'll understand what I mean. Seems like people don't really work there, but r

GMail - Is 1 Gig really enough?

When GMail first came out many people(including yours truly) were blown away. Many thought it was an april fool's joke(GMail came out on April on 1st), only to discover that it was true. One GIG of email storage - unbelievable ! But is 1 GIG really enough ? I've been using GMail for a little over 5 months and I've already used up more than 100MB. It appears to me that our storage demands are growing at an ever increasing rate. At first we were sending plain text, now we are sending digital pictures(whose size increases as MegaPixels on the cameras continue to increase as well), and soon we will probably send Videos. Additionally, many people(including myself) started using GMail for back-up and storage purposes. So no, 1 GIG is clearly not enough. At least not in the long run.
