I’m going to take a break from posting links to hilarious or enraging stories in this post, and instead go back to some personal items of interest, like I did last January. Most of the links in here will be to previous posts, since quite a bit has changed for me over 2007. To recap:

From the UWaterloo LiveJournal community:
Google Maps and Google Earth apparently now both have high-res (the closest zoom level) images of Waterloo Region. The comments thread seems to indicate that the images were taken last year, sometime in the spring.
I was sitting down last night at my system when the O letter key on my new MacBook keyboard flipped off. I’d noticed it was on a slight angle compared to the other keys, but the keycap and little plastic attachment sprung back in my face. I wasn’t even typing on it at the time [...]

In other news, I just wrote an essay for English that has made me [...]
Today was the first official day of classes up at UW, which means that tomorrow is free from any obligations. I have an afternoon tutorial for English 109 that is not applicable, since the first official lecture hasn’t been held yet. I did attend two classes today:
Math 136 (Linear Algebra 1), and

I’ve arrived home from Markham – my work term officially concluded on December 22nd – and I’m settled in, for the most part. The entire Christmas holiday seems to have gone by far too quickly, because I’m headed back to school within a day. For the most part, my preparation for classes has been limited [...]
