Thank God for trees.

Tech and the Automotive Industry...

The wiz and I are at the very beginning o f deciding on what our next vehicle will be.  The Xterra we have is coming to the end of it's lease, and it's always exciting (and a wee bit frustrating) to fina a new vehicle.  We started early this time, last time it took us too long to decide and find something that was worthy.  ;-)

Leasebusters is our standard tool for picking up a lease-take-over, but we saw advertising on the side of an apartment building on the DVP for Releaseme.ca
Both sites are interesting, releaseme.ca is fairly new, and leasebusters has been around for a few years now.

We have been doing some comparison reviews, especially with gas costing what it does now, and it's curious that some automotive sites allow for competitive manufacturers to be included in their comparisons (Mazda and Nissan), and some manufacturers don't allow for this comparison feature (Ford).

If you know of any other Canadian leasing websites, i'd be thrilled if you shared.

Amidst a Sea of Cardboard...

Yes, the packing is well begun, so well begun that the place is resembling a labarynth in a recycler's night mare. It's a good thing we've only got a week more to go, else we would likely put the dog in a box and be done with her.
Last night we took apart the crate designs beds for the chickadees, and what did we find: cookies, rings, and the dog's dentabone under the mattress. I can't begin to try and explain.
Considering the limited square footage of the tower, it's amazing that we've managed to sack away over 60 boxes of belongings. I'm not even going to go into details of the garbage we've parted with ;-)
Ok - I will - last night we threw away 3 keyboards, 2 mice and 21 metal clothes hangers. There.

Have Berry, Will Travel

Curious, over the vacation I was desperately trying to get extra work bits resolved.  I found myself on Hwy 89, between Alliston and Walkerton.  I managed to tether my berry to my laptop, dial into the internet, and VPN into a Netmeeting. Now, how bizarre is that? The only downfall of the whole solution, I couldn't make a voice call with the berry, and maintain the VPN tunnel, but internet connectivity was just fine, thanks.

;-)

7 Days in the Blink of an Eye

... wow. That may have been the fastest vacation on record.  7 days has never gone by so very quickly.  Between Muskoka, Lake Huron, an emergency bid for a customer, and the wildest weather on record, it's nice to be home.  Now we've got 3 days of vacation from vacation before heading into a short work week. Of course, that also means fewer days to be packing and organized before the move.

How very silly were we to jam everything into august?
Very. Now i've got some catching up to do around here.
