what is it with twitter that makes people forget how to find things on their own, or how to communicate using any other medium? I now refuse to respond to tweet messages that are essentially “I’m too lazy to google, but am hoping you can google for me” or “I want an answer, but don’t want to read the tonnes of great, in-depth resources available online. please spoonfeed me.”

fracking twitter.

the antique coffee mill does a much nicer job of grinding the beans – big chunks, all neatly ground, with no burning or dust.

I love the look of this forecast. The piles of snow are melting quickly – hopefully I’ll be back on the bike early next week :-)

30 second exposure taken just after dusk (the sun had already gone down, and the sky was black to the naked eye). I didn’t have a tripod, so I just set the timer, exposed for the dark sky, autofocused on the lights, and planted it in the snowbank for the shot :-)
