Phew, it’s already August.
Had a great quiet long weekend.
Still recovering from my short trip to Vegas to see the Margarito/Cotto fight.
As you can tell from the photo above, we had a great time.
Eventually I’ll get to summarizing what happened during my trip last week, but for now
here are some highlights of my time at this weekend’s Powell Street Festival.
Food food food.
WaQs Sushi, a division of Snauq Enterprises Inc.
Hand-made in Victoria BC
Whoops, I guess candles don’t count as food…

Handmade unedibles… looks too good to eat.
More like handmade wearables.
I skipped the crazy long Takoyaki line,
But went for the freshly made red bean desserts.

Barenaked Ladies | WWDC Beer Bash
On my lunch break, just looking over my flickr account and wandered over to my favorites.
I quickly flipped through photos posted by Graham Ballantyne of the WWDC Beer Bash (Yerba Buena Gardens, San Francisco June 12 2008) with the Barenaked Ladies.
What can I say?
Je suis tres jaloux.

Curious to see if anyone had cellphone videos of the event, I checked YouTube.
This is a hilarious story involving Ed of BNL and one of the winners of The Apprentice awhile back.
Moral: Be sure to check your preferences of your programs on your computer…. especially sharing in iTunes… :)

Helvetica may seem just “plain” to the regular eye.
But this typeface is applied in many different situations and places.
Celebrated its 50th anniversary, “Helvetica is a feature-length independent film about typography, graphic design and global visual culture. It looks at the proliferation of one typeface (which celebrated its 50th birthday in 2007) as part of a larger conversation about the way type affects our lives.”
If you missed the documentary screenings in Vancouver back in August last year (they were quickly sold out), now you have a chance to have it on your iPod and your iTunes library.

Well… unfortunately just for US iTunes users as noted on the graphic link on their site.
Sigh, wasn’t Helvetica screened internationally?
Will they make the digital download available in iTunes in all countries?
Just like the iPhone, looks like us Canadians have to wait.

The Youtube example showcased tying earbuds around the first gen of the iPod shuffle. I tried it myself, and it’s a practical saver.
Finally I can avoid those embarrassing moments of taking forever to untangle my iPod earbuds while trying to stay balanced on the bus.
At home I don’t have as many hard-drives as the large amount at work.
Under my desk at work, I’ve accidentally knocked out my internet connection because the hub is loosely sitting on the floor….
While I’m figuring out which cheap “cable-management” system I should implement in the office, in the meanwhile check out ways you can de-clutter your cables in your workspace.
