"Pan-Pan, Pan-Pan, Pan-Pan
You are not here but I can feel you.
You are not late but I do miss you.
We’ve never met but I always think of you.
You’re in my dreams but I can’t yet touch you.
They said you were gone but I’ll wait for you.
If you care about it, I’ll give the world to ...

Ghosts of the past

Letter to a StrangerWhatever you do,Wherever you roam,Whoever you touch,However brief the smile,You’ll always leave a part of yourself behind,Since people, places and momentsGrow a memory of their own.Through the silent stroke of your presence,You keep changing my existence,By little or by much,Forever.I wrote the Letter to a Stranger a long time ago, for someone long forgotten; or maybe was it for no one in particular?Why do we spend so much time running away from our p...
Across the Strait of Georgia
February 8, 2006
I miss the ocean. I miss the sound of waves out my window and the silent presence of an infinity of water at my back door. I miss the familiar vibration of a boat's hull slicing through calm seas, and the hum of engines, and the crackling of the radio. I miss looking up at the sky to anticipate nature's moods and outrun squalls.
So I offered myself a boat ride. I hopped on the Tsawwassen - Swartz Bay ferry and went to Victoria.

"Les aventures d'un GO désorganisé" sur Google Book Search

Among these, their Gmail webmail which has become my one and only email, and the fantastic Google Earth providing worldwide satellite photo coverage through computer based software.One of the newcomers is Google Books. Google has undertaken the gargantuesque task of scanning boo...
Aerodynamics and life - Part 2
February 1, 2006
[Still rambling...]
Stalling was relatively straightforward. Things were even, ample warning was given and our senses weren’t really that bothered.
In comes the spin. Since in life things are rarely balanced, one wing is going to stall before the other. Angle of attack is probably high; we’re living slowly and climbing, pushing the envelope. Maybe we also try to change direction while fighting our way up. All of a sudden, one area of our life is going to spin out of ...
The Digital Art gallery revamped
January 31, 2006
I had a few moments on my hands and started playing with old photos, wondering which ones would make good paintings. Here is the result. In most cases, I've tried to use photos that do not appear anywhere else in the photo galleries, but there are a few exceptions. As a reminder, these are all "digital paintings"; in other words they are photographs which have been turned into paintings through the use of a software filter and then hand-retouched with the help ...
It's a dog's life

And so it's only logical that this year is the year of the dog. Dixit the Chinese calendar. The Chinese New Year parade was held yesterday January 29th through the streets of Chinatown. Bright colours and rainy day.
