Not much to say...

It's been a busy week. Not much exciting has gone on... well, that may not be true, but I tend to be focused on other things than blogging this week. Our resource centre at UBC went under construction (along with the rest of the hospital) at the end of last week/beginning of this week. That has kept me pretty busy trying to keep everyone aware of what is going on, rescheduling volunteers, moving computer equipment, etc. At this point, I feel good about it. I think everyone is aware and I've covered pretty much everything. Few more emails to go out today - but that is the case everyday isn't it?

One little thing that is neat (although I found out about this last week). Schmap, an interactive tourism guide, has selected one of our photos for their Boston Guide. It is a photo of the Duck Tours. I should actually credit that to Katie, as she is the one who highly recommend the tour to us (as she and her husband had lived there for a couple of years, we figured they knew what they were talking about :-). If you would like to take a look at the guides, go to www.Schmap.com.

They contacted us a couple of weeks ago to give us the choice of having them consider the photo for their guide. Once we agreed to it, although we do keep copyright of the image, they took a look at the photos they had to choose from and made their final selection. It sounds like they find all of their images through Flickr. They are certainly not the only ones to do this. We've had a number of our India photos chosen for various guides and webpages, which we generally don't mind.

Well, time to go do some more stuff around the house. General pick-up and then off to work for an hour to meet one of my volunteers. Hope you all have a good weekend - and don't spend too much time on Friday afternoon surfing and reading blogs!!
