Asaph looks pretty cool as a way to quickly reference and quote other pages/images on the web. I’ve been feeling like I should add it or something like it to this blog to replace all these Tradenotes posts, as but most of what I do is links with commentary, similar to what Gruber does on Daring Fireball.

Look into my eyes. Still got your pocketbook?

An elephant paints an elephant. I wonder how long it took to train it to do that.

The Gloggomobil is a music box you can program yourself with little pegs. It’s too bad that it costs $1000+.

Yesterday We walked around the Canadian Parliament buildings (Ottawa is the capital of Canada), which are very close to our hotel (the Westin, in the background of this picture).

This morning, we had brunch at an Indian place, and then bought some tasty berries at a sidewalk fruit stand. Ottawa has a canal right through the middle of it, and this is a view of the parliament buildings from the river, which has a ton of nice walking/biking trails around it.

After dad got out of his meetings for the day, we rented bicycles and went on a 16km (roughly 10 mile) ride down one side of the canal and up the other . Amy and I rode this tandem bicycle, which was quite fun.

More to come…

Merry Christmas Iraq!
