Making An Invoice
Happily, I finally get to write up an invoice for something. This is good
news.
Here’s
a page with a handy list of items that need to go on an invoice.

Plum Chutney
The bounty of Ontario continues to roll in, and I continue to need to find
new ways to deal with it. I’m making grape juice out of my concord grapes
(a very, very small amount of grape juice, actually, but I figured it was
better than chucking them before I managed to eat them all) and I’m
planning on making chutney out of my plums and apples.
Here’s
a chutney recipe with plum and apple.
Here’s
another one.

More on Permeable Pavers
Here’s
a page that provides some more information on the positive effect that
permeable pavers can have on watershed problems caused by run-off.

Replacing Asphalt
We have the remenants of the driveway extending into our backyard. We also
have spacein the driveway that we don’t use for cars, and which I’ve
blocked off for the moment with two planter boxes. I was looking up
information on how to remove asphalt and found this
site which suggest that if you still want to occassionaly park on part
of the driveway, but also have it be a green space, you can use something
called permeable pavers. The pavers, shown on
this
page seem like a really good idea.

Canoeing in Cold Water
I love canoing and I like the idea of extending the canoeing season.
Previously, when I’ve gone canoeing in the fall with people, we were
all just really really careful to avoid tipping. However, it occurred to
me that there are probably some steps you can take to reduce the danger of
being dumped into cold water. And sure enough, there are.
This page
provides a number of good suggestions. Happily, I now own a wetsuit, so I
may start with that, but I love the polar fleece idea.

Jerusalem artichokes
This summer I planted some Jerusalem artichokes in my front yard. I didn’t
know too much about them other than that they are indigenous to this area
(the east of Canada, generally speaking), and that they have edible
tubers. Consequently, I was a bit surprised by the way the little teeny
plants that I planted kept growing, and growing, and growing. Tonight I
found
this
site, which explains that they can grow up to three meters tall. Aha.
Good to know.

Camcorders Galore
I’m looking into camcorders, because I’m going to need one for my third
thesis project. As with most consumer electronic equipment, there’s lots
to learn.
Here’s
a PC world video camera buying guide, and
here’s
a beginner’s buying guide from camcorderinfo.com. Of course, I also need
to know what to do with the video once I’ve shot it. Ultimatel, that will
involve a lengthy process of data processing, but first I need to get it onto my
computer.
