Check Out ExpatExpense

Excuse #......
I guess it's been a while since my last blog. So, what's my excuse this time? None really, just Martin and Oliver keeping me on my toes. Surprisingly, even with a full-time housekeeper around, I find myself busier than ever. You know it's bad when that new Nike Sasquatch driver I bought over two months ago haven't even been near a tee box. It's a good kind of busy though being able to spend as much time as I do with my two boys and Jill while she's on her mat leave.

Shameless Plug
So, aside from changing diapers, wiping snotty noses and building train tracks for Thomas to run on, I've been developing a new website called ExpatExpense. It's a web-based tool that help expats such as myself figure out how much things cost in other cities. It's still in development so there are some broken links and not all the information has been filled or verified. But, I thought I'd let whoever stumbles onto this blog have a test run at it. Go to www.expatexpense.com and enter oliver/martin for the user id/password. Give it a try and let me know what you think of it. Any feedback will be much appreciated.

Picture Time
Here are a couple of pictures of us. I particularly like the one of me, Oliver and Martin. We just need to airbrush Jill into it. You can also go to www.joeandjill.ca for our new photo gallery. It doesn't have all the pictures from our old site since uploading all of them to my new hosted server takes freakin' forever. Singapore is a pretty wired country but Internet speed is ridiculously slow when accessing a server that is not within Singapore. Sure, I expect a bit of a slow down when downloading something from North America but 200 kbps on average? Come on, I can type faster. Anyways, before I get too worked up. here are the picture.
