Finally fully working camera again

Tuesday, November 28th, 2006

In August of this year, some pressure from an unknown source cracked my LCD screen, and since then I have been using it without an LCD screen (quite difficult, but still usable).  A week ago, I ordered a replacement LCD from Foto Geeks and I received it today (coincidentally the day I was home).  Following Andy’s LCD replacement tutorial I successfully replaced the cracked LCD screen I have had almost for half a year.  Wondering what the cracked LCD looks like?

The replacement was without problem except I made two scratches on the backlight, and nearly damaged the backlight ribbon cable, but hey at least I can see the camera settings without trying to guess whether the flash is on or off.

So while I was running a couple of errands, I quickly went out to UBC to see how the snow is over there.  Along the way I took some photos.  Presenting…snowy Vancouver (and its buses):

Guess I should go back to studying now =)

That white stuff that falls from the sky

What seemed to be impossible occurred today:

UBC Vancouver is currently experiencing a campus-wide power outage. All UBC Vancouver classes are cancelled for Mon. Nov. 27.

Yay time to rewrite English presentation, prepare chem lab, finish computer science assignment and study for finals :)

LRT and Subways: The future of Vancouver?

Sunday, November 5th, 2006

Ivan Chan, a friend of mine, recently showed me one of his animation projects, “Environment Modeling of Street and Subway.” Looks like Vancouver doesn’t it, considering the street “furniture” and signs? Except Vancouver doesn’t have a street-level LRT nor a subway,… yet.
