Brave New World
So as of October 2008 Joy and I will be officially parents. We just had the first ultrasound to discover a single fetus of 13 weeks (see photos below).

Quarterlife
English-language channels here in Switzerland are very limited--CNN, BBC World, BBC Prime, and some random MTV shows. And to top it off they don't have closed-captioning, so I can't even watch them with the aid of subtitling--I have yet to pick up German.
So I was exploring alternate forms of media and came across a web-based sitcom Quaterlife through an article on the CBC website. The Quaterlife site is some sort of social network site for people whom are creative, and such, but also contains the 36-episode series (approximately 10 minutes per episode).
I started decided to give the first episode a look. It kept me interested so I watched another. Come 2am I had watched all the episodes--you can thank the short, well linked episodes for my inability to stop watching. I recommend checking out the trailer here.

Switzerland Status
I am still here. I haven't posted as much as people would like because of the fact I haven't done too much that is exciting. Yes, I am in Switzerland. You wish you were to set the sights, so do I. Yes I had a weekend to do so. The truth is I really don't enjoy sight-seeing by myself.
Over the last few work trips that I have been on by myself, I have realized that I am not a lone-traveller. When I am done work for the day I usually sit back and read a book. It allows you to escape the reality that I am all by myself ever so far from everyone I love. Alas, with my sob-story I did still go for a walk on the weekend, so yes I have some pictures. Although they aren't very exciting or good (and I appear to have dust in my camera and I don't have any of my cleaning equipment here).
So on Saturday I went out to see what there was to see.
I drove around a little in the beautiful weather--note the lack of MPH on the instrument panel.
And I walked along the Rhein river. It isn't to exciting at this point since it is fairly near the source.
I found some sort of bunker thing. If anyone knows what this is please let me know.
And from the backside.
And it looks like the Swiss were thinking of Joy when they made these steps.
