Paul Romein

Hiking up Mount Seymour yesterday, we took some rad shots of some Whiskey Jacks. Here’s the best one that I shot:

A few of us old chums went down to the new bowling place near Silver City Coquitlam.  It was my first time down there, and I found it pretty slick looking!  The wait on a Friday night was about an hour, which is about on par.  Some of us grabbed some bubble-tea from the strip-mall it’s part of, but we weren’t able to indulge in some beer because the restaurant isn’t open yet!  Here is a print out from our two games:

Legend: B Rye = Brian Romein, Fox = Karilee, Goob = Jessy’s friend, Lady XIV = Ange, MCWOO = Mike Waddell, OGIE = Jessy, Paulish = Me!

A neat new thing I learned this evening was from the guy at the beginning – it takes about 15 minutes per person for a game.  I took us on average about 13-14, but its still an awesome way to guess how long you’ll be bowling for!

Mark brought his Nikon D80 SLR with us and took some pretty epic shots! The best that I’ve seen so far is this crazy panoramic shot he took up from the very top of the Black Tusk!

There’s also a whole bunch more in a photo album on his website.

I was on my way to film an interview this morning, on an on-ramp for the freeway, and I happened to look over to the car beside me and see this:

I instantly knew what it was and whipped out my camera to take a shot – but for those of you who have no idea, it’s one of the cars that are taking pictures from that rig to make Google Street View! And for those of you who have no idea what it is -

Google Street View is a feature of Google Maps and Google Earth that provides for many streets in the world 360° horizontal and 290° vertical panoramic views from a row of positions along the street (one in every 10 or 20 meters, or so), from a height of about two meters.

Don’t worry, only geeks are really jealous of my sighting of the Google Car!
