    fell out of an arch design I was studying, and I thought it was too nice to throw away. Must’ve been something about the falling leaves that made me choose colours like these.

    Here’s the SVG, if you care to:

    I’m at the OEA conference. The energy industry is a strange little ecosystem.

    Nice view of the falls, though.

  • you suck, Hershey’s!

    We made a special detour via Smith’s Falls, and the Hershey factory store had no Payday bars. Aargh!

  • I’ll be your terrorist for the evening…

    I’m at YYZ, and despite the Canadian passport, I’m still Mr Designated Searched Guy. Thought that the passport might’ve changed things, but no. Sigh…

    It does mean I no longer have to do those dumb visa waiver things, yay!

    Neat eBay find; an unused Gillette Travel razor:

    Gillette Travel Razor

    It is absolutely tiny, and it looks as if it has never been opened, let alone used. The blades are still in their cellophane wrapping, and the razor has its cardboard “blade” in place. I wonder how old it is?
    The case doesn’t look very robust (it’s that cardboard leatherette that falls apart at the slightest use) but I’ll be able to shave in style anywhere in the world.

  • halloween fallout

    One forgets how quickly — and how extravagantly — a carved pumpkin goes mouldy. It’s positively fluffy.
