The death toll continues to rise. Last night, 7 dead, 38 injured. CNN is reporting 8 dead, 79 injured. Last night's story from CANOE has been updated, now saying at least 9 killed, over 130 injured.

Uhh... CNN's map is completely off. The location of the tornado was near Red Deer, which is between Edmonton and Calgary. Calgary is half way between Edmonton and the southern border. This map shows Pine Lake in the northeast corner of the province. Sigh.

I'm going to see X-Men today with a group of friends...

Hehe, I'll look like a giant next to all those little kids at the theatre! Just think of those poor kids who won't be able to see over my head? ;-)

sNiKT!

I'm thinking of joining Tennis BC and the Virtual Victoria Tennis Club. I want to play just about every day, but I only have 2 tennis partners (other than my wife) and only get to play once or twice a week max.

For the record: X-Men kicked ass. I think it's more enjoyable for someone who knows the characters really really well.

I collected X-Men for about 6 years, and worked in comic book stores for over 2. I know the characters.

I want to buy one of the OSX-Men t-shirts from MacSurfshop, but their stupid registration page is for, and I quote, "USA Only!".

I've bought from them before! What's the deal with that? They don't want my business anymore? And their 1-888 number doesn't work in Canada! Argh!!!

Hehe, that's twice in one week that a vendor is locking me out of their goods. Shit, I'm gonna get a complex. ;-)

People killed, injured when tornado touches down in central Alberta

I lived through the horror of Black Friday, July 31, 1987 when 27 people were killed by a tornado in Edmonton. It's absolutely heartbreaking to hear of this happening again. It's too much.

My thoughts and prayers go out to those families devestated by today's disaster.

I won't bother telling you about the lacrosse game I went to tonight, it just doesn't matter.

I want to apologize for the ickyness that was yesterday. The enjoyable responsible debate was unfortunately overshadowed by a pissing match, and you were stuck in the middle.

I'm glad that's over now. Thanks for enduring. Hopefully it won't happen again. :-)

opensource.go.com: Go Go.com Go! Tea sounds pretty cool. Must investigate.

I don't get it, yet. I need some real-world samples. It looks so much like ASP or JSP, and I can't stand systems that embed logic directly in HTML. They are bonafide maintenance nightmares. That's why I like WebObjects, the real logic is truly separated from the presentation.
