Shoe Collection for 2009
Again, I got to do another fill-in slot on-air at CKCU-FM 93.1. This time, it was for Kristal’s Method because Kristal (the host) could not make it back to Ottawa from Toronto. Plus, it was a Civic Holiday in Canada. It was the second time to host a radio show. I dunno if the one from CBC Radio 3 with Craig Norris counts because I talked through the phone and I didn’t use any equipments. I did co-host on Kristal’s Method on the day that the Polaris Music Prize unveiled their Long List. I would say that I have been on-air 4 times.
Here’s this new player to listen:

All I can say is thank you for making me the go-to guy when needing help, Kristal.

A New Shoe Added to My Collection

Even though, we’re counting down to the end of David Tennant’s run on Doctor Who, I decided to get one more Converse shoes. This time, it’s a blue Chuck Taylor All-Star. Tennant as the 10th Doctor brought on a “geek chic” in terms of fashion. It got me hooked to wearing Chucks but not with the colours he wears (red or white). I found out that filming for the Fifth Series of Doctor Who, the new companion is wearing Chucks and it’s blue. In a way, Doctor Who is still continuing on with whoever wear Converse shoes.

Finally, An Update for the Nintendo DSi

If anyone have not noticed on Facebook that I changed my profile picture. Finally, Nintendo released a firmware for the Nintendo DSi where you can upload a photo to Facebook. For awhile, I decided to not upload photos onto Facebook because of rumours about ownership and copyrights to the images being used. With the DSi, I’m just going to put photos, even though the quality is not like the usual digital cameras.
Here’s the link through Flickr on the photos I took from the DSi. http://www.flickr.com/photos/lenny-wu/sets/72157616932624621/.
