Recently I decided to create a new episode of Angry Carrot, the mad vegetable who wants to take over the world for some reason. I posted a couple of teaser panels to the Martian Cartel forum and reproduce them here. Teaser 1: Teaser 2: More soon™!

This promises to be an interesting month. Possibly for all the reasons!

I don’t think I am going to reach 31 posts this month. This animated gif is just plain creepy. (EDIT: So creepy, in fact, that I am not including it as an inline image.) Creepy Julia Roberts animated gif

On Saturday night around 8:30 or so the power went out. A check of the neighborhood showed the lights were on two blocks east, on the other side of Knight, but were out as far west as I could see. I later learned that the outage extended to Cambie Street. The power doesn’t go out [...]

I finally got to heading over to the island again for the weekend of August 14-15th (I actually came back on the 16th) and as it happened it was during the annual heatwave, with record-setting high temperatures being set all over the province.

I like this one for the fact that the seagull picks up the pace once it’s got the goods, like it knows the jig is up.

Ahead of me in the “dammit, I’m having an actual cashier serve me instead of using one of those robot self-serve thingers” line at Price Smart Foods the other day was a guy who looked to be in his mid to late 30s. He was not in what one would call prime physical shape so [...]

Today I ventured downtown to watch the annual Vancouver Pride Parade, arriving on Robson Street about an hour before the noon-time start. The sky was overcast but there was no threat of rain. A sizable crowd was already gathered in the 1200 block where I chose to watch from. It would be standing room only, [...]

Apropos of nothing, tonight I made a picture of Angry Carrot dipped in the colors of Pride. This, as with everything, makes him angry. Others, however, may enjoy the Pride festivities around Vancouver, including the Pride Parade on Sunday, which attracted a staggering 600,000 people last year.

My camera is a trusty little Canon point and shoot digital and it takes fine photos for a goof like me who doesn’t pretend to know anything about photography besides “don’t put your thumb in front of the lens” but it’s rather mediocre in low light situations, leading to very noisy images. At night it’s [...]
