News just in: deap has moved venue, after one night at Oxford Koala Hotel conference facilities a.k.a. “Club Shit”, to club Nakita near the corner of Pitt and Bathurst. This new underground venue has been screaming for a quality club night since it opened a few months ago, and deap just might fit the description.… Continue reading deap + Nakita = 🙂

Today I bought my new digital camera, a Canon IXUS V. My criteria were that it had to be ultra-compact (fit in a mobile phone pocket), 1600×1200, CompactFlash and have WIA drivers.
