Stopped on my way home to take a photo. Ottawa is such a beautiful city at night.
About
restraint.org is a loose collection of writing, links, ravings, photos, news, fiction, and bad poetry by Jairus Khan. This website has been here (off and on) for ten years or so, and was around in various other forms for three or four years before that.
I spend most of my off-hours working (in Ottawa, Canada) to promote underground music, arts, and media, and trying to keep independent music from being smothered by the hopeless anachronism known as ‘the industry’. I DJ and promote concerts/festivals regularly, make occasional beep-beep noises in an industrial-metal band, and recently released a CC-licensed debut album for my own industrial-slash-experimental-electronic project, Ad·ver·sary.
When I’m not working with, promoting, listening to, or writing music, I design very angry websites, flyers, book jackets, and the sort for various arts projects. I supplement my music/design income (roughly enough to buy a pocketful of buttons a month) by developing counter-hacking courses and moonlighting as a web coordinator for the man.
I also bake very tasty cookies.

I am so glad we live here.
is it me or does it REALLY remind you of that walk back to the hotel in Frankfurt that night? the more i look at it the more i’m reminded of it and our very long but very wonderful walk along the waterfront; the silly German drunks playing by the play structure, the narrow winding streets, that ancient church and wonderful architecture we saw along the way, the crazy spider mazes, those HUGE maple leaves and so much more….i can’t wait for more of our adventures to make more memories… :D
i love you.
