City of Ottawa emaps

If you live in Ottawa you should checkout the emap service that's available on the city website.

You can search for an address and then zoom in on it. Just remember to enable "Air Photos 2005" in the map options and you'll see a detailed picture of your property. Make sure "Property Parcels" is selected and you'll see your lot boundaries as well.

Thanks for the tip Derek.

Desk lamps and fires

I just noticed a sticker on my computer desk lamp. It reads, "CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE USE ONLY TYPE BLAH BLAH BLAH BULBS".

Gee thanks, but next time can you suggest the type of bulb that will completely eliminate the risk of fire?!

How about this one?

CAUTION: EVEN IF YOU USE THE RECOMMENDED BULBS, YOUR HOUSE MAY BURN DOWN TO THE GROUND

Or,

CAUTION: TURNING ON THIS LAMP IS A FIRE HAZARD
