Just when I was mentioning how it feels like winter was on it's way, I head out to Frank Clair Stadium on a GORGEOUS day to catch a glimpse of the tiniest chance of the Ottawa Renegades slipping into the play-offs. Well, most of us, knew that was not going to happen. It was a 43-23 win for the Alouettes. BUT...it was a beautiful day to be at a football game in the fall. Thanks to the people who slipped that ticket into my hands. I had a great time, in a great location! Pictures are here or in the "October 2005" link.

Was there a Battle of Ontario hockey game on Saturday night? I don't know if 8 to 0 for the Ottawa Senators is a battle. Also, I think Darcy Tucker died! No really...after seeing him sprawled on the ice after a hit (if you call that a hit, more of a "sorry for bumping into you", Mister Volchenkov).

It was a good day for sports in Ottawa (minus the Renegade loss), set the clocks back and Catch the Senators - Flyers game on later tonight!

Nothing going on here

Well, I hope everyone is doing well. Not much going on here. This past week has been a week of sitting around the house with a very sick daughter, who seems to be having bad reactions to all the medications being prescribed to her.

No new journeys, as weather has turned from summer to winter (almost). Seems like the hot temperature was months ago. Which reminds me...DON"T FORGET TO TURN YOUR CLOCKS BACK an hour tonight!

Have been trying to soak up all this crazy stuff for my course that I am enrolled in. History of electronics is quite boring (to some!). But I have to start somewhere.

Taking a break this today as I am heading out to the Ottawa-Montreal football game at 3:00 (look for me on CBC). Then it's back home to catch the Ottawa-Toronto hockey game (don't look for me here).

Let's see.....

The 360 making nice progress in Japan, but the PS3 still dominates.

The Xbox has had quite the rocky road in Japan. Saying the Japanese gamer isn't interested in the console is sort of an understatement. Saying that the Japanese gamer would be willing to pay you money so they wouldn't have to look at one would be closer to the money.

You have to keep that in mind while looking at the results of Famitu's new study on the how the Japanese are looking at the next generation of systems. While 24% as wanting one and 40% undecided don't seem like huge numbers, from where they were with the XBox it's an almost startling improvement. Of course the PS3 is still way ahead, but that doesn't surprise anyone. The Revolution seems to have a healthy amount of support as well.

There are some interesting numbers here, and it looks like the 360 may be closing in on the Japanese market quicker than many had assumed.

Digital TV switch in April 2009?

A new bill working the rounds on Capitol Hill would see the mandatory and complete switch to digital TV coming on April 7, 2009. At that time, all broadcasters would be required to turn off their old analog towers, or if you listen too closely to CNet, you'll even have to stop your own TV from broadcasting (" All television sets in American households must air digital-only broadcasts by spring of 2009"). I've told me TV several time to stop running that pirate TV station, but it just won't listen.

Some stuff I am studying tonight....

By adding energy, such as heat or light, it is possible for a valence orbit electron to absorb this energy and move into the valence orbit of a neighboring atom. An electron freed from its valence state is called a free electron. Because a single cubic inch of copper contains approximately 1.4 x 10 to the power of24 free electrons, a veritable cloud of free electrons moves about in a piece of copper. An atom that has lost one or more valence electrons has a net positive charge and is called a positive ion. This concept of free electrons is extremely important, because free electrons make an electric current possible.

As an electron moves from the valence orbit of one atom into the valence orbit of another atom, it leaves behind a space that it used to occupy. This space is often referred to as a hole. By definition, a hole is the absence of a negative electron and cannot be electrically neutral. Consequently, holes are considered to be positively charged and equal in magnitude to the negative charge of an electron.

I feel like I should have went to my science classes!

I do beleive that the GACL should be starting any day, if they have not yet! I wish I could be there, but because of class, I had to give you up this year. Maybe I can get hold of the SLOP and standings electronically to add a GACL page to the blog (hint hint Susan, could you find out). That way a few of use that love to read it can check it out every week!

It's 11:00, Thanksgiving Monday. Relaxed Friday night, went to the Sens game Saturday night, had a nice relaxing Thanksgiving Sunday, relaxed again today and ended it with another Shoot Out win over Toronto. Overall it was a great relaxing kind of weekend and started to get to work tonight on my schooling. Not looking forward to work tomorrow, one more day of nothing would be great.

Any how, hope you all had a great Thanksgiving weekend! (forgot I had a camera...few pics, or was it the laid back weekend)

It was a great home opener in Kanata. I've added a few pics from our view at the game. Sorry about some of the fuzzy pictures (camera is not that good)!

This Saturday is the Ottawa Senators home opener. So, I will not be up at the lake till Sunday, just in time for Turkey!

While we were using tents and left our various gadgets at home, we were certainly in the minority in places we went camping.
