What?! Micah who? These:
I don’t get it?
Let me explain…
Each year on November 18 to 21 The Ontario College of Art & Design (OCAD) holds its signature fundraising event the Whodunit? Mystery Art Sale – an exhibition and sale of hundreds of pieces of original art donated by artists who are famous and not-yet-famous, including well-known and celebrity artists, OCAD faculty, alumni and students.
So, at Whodunit? ‘07 i came across these two pieces (each 5×7) i thought were pretty cool and decided to buy them and to my surprise, wait for it… were created by contempory Canadian artist and curator Micah Lexier! Both handwritten in pencil the top says “Mitch Robertson made this.” and the bottom “Kelly Mark made this.” who btw are also established artists in their own right! Genius!!
This has been a long time coming to say the least. With commercially run Linux web servers on the rise and continuous nudging from my OCAD colleague Ramtin Lotfabadi – Manager, Online Architecture & Development, i have started my foray into Fedora, the open source Linux operating system.
First impressions are extremely positive. Start up/run-time is super-fast. The GNOME desktop aesthetic is much like the Mac OS with a hint of Windows XP styling. Finding your way around is relatively easy as well; just a matter of getting acquainted which really takes no time atoll. The only real learning curve i could see would be the Linux file system and how that is utilized.
So anyway, i decided to buy a new computer to run the system and also act as a file-server on our home network housing all our music, pictures and other miscellaneous data. In implementation though a couple of requirements/challenges came out of this scenario:
- Both computers on the network (one Linux, one Windows) need to be able to communicate with each other in order to share files
- The Linux computer needs to be able to stream our music to any computer connected on the network

My wife Leslie at Nine Months Pregnant
So here we are at nine months and counting… Little Stella’s going to be here so soon!! We can’t wait!
Still, however, trying frantically to get the place in order to accommodate. I’m sure though it’ll all fall into place; life has a funny way of doing that at times.
We’ll know what to do, right?!
My wife Leslie and i just had our second trimester ultrasound Tuesday March 17, 2009 and here are the pics to prove it! Until you see this for yourself you don’t really feel that your expecting. This just completely solidifies it! What an awesome experience.
There you have it, our little one in the making!
My wife Leslie and i had our second ultrasound on Tuesday, June 23. Here are the pics to illustrate our experience.
Our little Stella is getting very big now into the third trimester / eighth month of pregnancy so getting an overall body length pic was out of the question, instead the RN had to narrow it down to specific areas i.e., Stella’s head and feet. Check it out! Six weeks to go!!!
The next image is a little joke played by the RN; look closely Stella’s trying to tell us something! Hehe.
