We all know that Google targets ads to each of us based on how we browse the web, but it’s interesting to have them spell out the knowledge they have on you. They put up this page that will tell you some demographics and trends they have derived about you. The ones, in fact, that they use to target those ads to you. Check it out!
I’m (apparently) a 35-44 year old male who’s into record labels, yoga & pilates, cameras, people & society, travel, and…beauty and fitness!? Interesting…
Also, I have a new website that’s (I know this is always the case) almost done! I think I’ll be doing some blogging there, but will continue to crosspost because of all my tumblr peoples. Check out the new place if you have a moment:

Has anyone tried this new airbnb thing? People rent out there rooms to travellers passing through. Seems to be much cheaper and more authentic than hotels, and a bit more comfortable than some CouchSurfing situations might leave you. I think I’m going to try it. Just signed up for my account - link me up!

“The great omission in American life is solitude; not loneliness, for this is an alienation that thrives most in the midst of crowds, but that zone of time and space, free from the outside pressures, which is the incubator of the spirit.”
-Marya Mannes
Merry Christmas everyone. May you find some solitude on your holidays.
Looking back, a lot sure happened in 2011.
I entered three very different images in a photography competition that a local photo store put on recently. I always find it interesting what shot stands out to a judge when there are no genre rules - this time they picked this one of mine!
They printed it and it went up on display at Henry’s Regent (here in Winnipeg) mid-November and should be up ‘til the end of December(ish). Check it out if you happen to be in there oggling some new gear. :)
Flying back from Churchill on Sunday night I really hoped to see the northern lights out the plane window. No such luck.
This is pretty cool though.
