I need to learn to take an iterative approach to life (I will discuss that interesting philosophy at a later time). I’m often so bent on doing things right the first time that some things, even important things, never get done at all. I feel like I’m careening down life’s highway at a billion km/h [...]

My collection of Ben Folds EPs from Attacked By Plastic arrived yesterday, and are amazingly awesome. Speed Graphic, Sunny 16 and Super D are all quite good, as is The Bens EP, a collaborative effort by Ben Lee, Ben Kweller and Ben Folds. Smile / Like you’ve got nothing to prove No matter what you [...]

I took a good look at utools.ca with Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 yesterday, and I must say that I feel sorry for the people who use this browser on a daily basis. May I suggest: , the super fast, more secure, open source browser available for most computing platforms?

Happy New Year, one and all! 2004 was an interesting year (as they all are), and I hope yours went (and went out) well. A year of adventures and amazing potential is upon us! Make the most of your 2005. Cheers!

Laura: Thanks for the fleece blanket (it’s already been put to good use)! I [...]

Yes, it’s that time of year again. This wonderful term had to come to an end sooner or later, and exams are now in full force. Vanquished: [cut="See a list of the vanquished"] (10 Dec. 2004) (14 Dec. 2004) (15 Dec. 2004) (16 Dec. 2004) … and believe me, it was UML hell. (20 Dec. [...]

As I attempted to execute the “perfect pump” at the local 7-11 gas bar (and failed miserably I might add – $25.01), a good friend from high school let me in on one of the lesser known techniques used to stick it to The Man whilst filling up self-serve style. I felt that this should [...]

Looks like I shall be headed to Toronto after Christmas after all – just not for Congress itself. “Pre-Congress” should be a fun time and provide more interesting New Year celebrations than ‘Peg City can offer. Itinerary (thus far): Fly to Toronto the evening of the 29th, arriving at ~12am on the 30th. Wait until [...]
