Long live Wikipedia !

Lately, whenever I want to look up information on a famous person, a city, or any other known entity my first destination is Wikipedia. Gotta love that resource !

I just wish Google and other search engines would rank Wikipedia entries higher. Not only would the users be redirected to great information, but that would also spark more additions to Wikipedia. After all, Wikipedia is created by users like you and me (all information on Wikipedia is entered and edited by simple users), and so the more people know about it(and understand how it works), the more people edit Wikipedia, and so it becomes more accurate and bigger.

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.

Fun times at Revolution Nightclub in Waterloo

If there is one place I'm going to miss in Waterloo, it's the Revolution Nightclub(or simply Rev). I've been going there for almost four years now and that place just keeps on getting better and better. I generally hang out in the Purple Room, that's where trance/techno/house is being played. What's interesting is how crowd has changed in the Purple Room over the years. When I just started going there it was mostly ravers in baggy pants, lots of people high, few girls. These days it's almost 100% typical clubbers, people are just drinking and, surprisingly, there are many good looking women. Over the past 3 years I've been primarily going there on Trance nights, which happen once a month. The resident DJ is Dennis Hahn . It's always great Trance/Tech-Trance when he is on, and the crowd is going nuts ! I rarely step outside of the Purple Room, however. The music in the mainroom sucks, and the crowd is very thuggy-looking(makes me wish they had a dress cod
