Bal en Blanc 2006

Last weekend(Apr. 17th) I went to Montreal for a Bal en Blanc party. Bal en Blanc is an annual "rave" where everyone wears white. The party is huge, with about 12 thousand people in attendance. This year's DJ headliners included Armin van Buuren, Infected Mushroom, David Guetta and Deep Dish.

Unfortunately, Armin van Burren sucked, his new style is slow and boring. Nevertheless, Bal en Blanc was a huge success, and I really enjoyed the party. I didn't have a watch with me, so imagine my surprise when I found out that it was 11:30AM when we went home(I didn't expect to stay that long).

It was awesome seeing my friends from Toronto and Montreal, for some of whom it was a first big party. They weren't dissapointed !

This was my 3rd Bal en Blanc party, and the 4th year in a row that I party in Montreal for Easter. Let's hope this trend continues !

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.
