Saturday morning we all (my in-laws, my wife and I) woke up early, to leave the CRAPPY hotel I rent :s, and head on to Place-des-Arts our nearest subway station for the practice and pole position.

Once in the track I start testing the shutter speed of the A200 against the REALLY fast F1 cars to see if I catch a few of them freeze, so since it was a sunny day I start a 1/1000, but the details in the cars looks blurry, so I head on to the max 1/4000 and try to catch a car, but became extremely difficult because I want to take a close up to the car.

After about 45 pics with only an empty race track or a tiny part of the car I change the setting to continuous shooting and just wait for my lucky shoot and after a few laps with 130 of pics taken, I finally catch completely this gorgeous Ferrari at 1/400shutter speed.

On race day, I focus more on the race and less in the pics and stop worrying about the blur on the small details and took the pics at 1/1000

Here is a pic of Robert Kubica during his celebration lap.

Me pareció muy particular que una cadena de pizzerías (Pizza Pizza) regale un slice de pizza a cada asistente cuando los Raptors anotan más de 100 puntos, por lo que al día siguiente podíamos pasar por cualquier Pizza Pizza a reclamar nuestro slice, pero como era el Earth Hour y habíamos planificado comer pizza en la noche dejamos pasar esa ganga ja ja ja

Aquí pueden ver algunas fotos del juego:

También me dio mucha risa ver a la mascota de los Raptors enfrentada contra un fanático de NY que estaba en la primera final ja ja

Nosotros en el final juego

For the keynote we have a small introduction from Phil Sorgen (president of Microsoft Canada) and then Kevin Turner (COO of Microsoft) who gives really good keynote, because it was a mix between the speech and a demo.

The best new thing in this new version of Visual Studio is the ability to debug JavaScript, with the breakpoints, the watch and all you need. I think this is amazing. Windows Server 2008 it’s all about virtualized environments.

El lunes pasado (Día de la familia aquí en Ontario) Laura y yo nos fuimos al Toronto Autoshow 2008, y como Lau está trabajando en KIA, nos regalaron un par de entradas. Durante nuestras 4 horas de caminada vimos carros de Bentley, Ferrari, Lotus, Porsche, Maserati, BMW, Mercedes, Hyundai , Ford, GM, Mazda, KIA y algunos otros.

We also saw some concept cars, like this new Prius , the hybrid option from Toyota.
