Pacific Mall

Yesterday we went to Pacific Mall in Markham, which is apparently the largest Chinese indoor mall in North America. It is quite a place to go, especially for an ignorant white man like me. I’d never been, as it was built while I was in Guelph doing my degree. There is a ton of stuff […]

big truck gets stuck

Yesterday, a delivery truck got stuck just in front of work here due to the temporary insanity of the King St Streetcar Track Reconstruction. It was pretty interesting, and I took a handful of photos, which you can see here.

monkeybike

oh. my. god. There’s this company in the UK that offers a service to drive you home in your own car after a night of drinking, in order to prevent people from drunk driving. How do they do it? Their people ride the Monkey Bike Puzzle – a 49cc 3-speed scooter that can be disassembled […]

Damn you, HMV!

I swear I’ve wrote an entry with that title before… HMV doesn’t have the new Guster album yet. HMV won’t have it until July 15. Amazon.ca does have it, and will send it to me for $18.86. Hrm.

good and crappy at the same tiem

Good: the Concert for Toronto. Except that SkyDome SUCKS for concerts. It was like having a concert in an oil drum. Bad: misato got 0wned by some script kiddies. Rebuild time. Bastards.

one word extinguisher

I’ve been listening to Prefuse 73 quite a lot lately. Jordan turned me on to them (him) a little while ago. So much so that I bought their latest album, which is pretty damn good IMHO. Also, freakin’ Guster is opening for freakin’ Sam Roberts on Sept 19th! Once I saw that I jumped all […]

Guess who just gave me a call? My car insurance broker. He had good news: because Sandy and I are carrying our apartment insurance on the same company as our car insurance, I save 5% on my car insurance renewal. I already knew that, thanks Scott. He also had other news: our premium is up […]

playing around

I’m playing with the site, tweaking some things and starting to convert the old pages to the new look by MTifying the whole thing.

Released: InPath driver for the Newton

I’ve just released InPath, a Newton driver for the InPath MW-400 serial barcode scanner. It’s a cool little scanner that was made especially for PDAs, and now it will act just like a keyboard with this driver. Thanks to Daniel Padilla for helping me out with this.

conGRADulations

Yesterday was Sandy’s convocation ceremony! It was great and brought back memories of my own convocation last October. Her mom, dad, Meem, and friend Laura came out as well. The ceremony was like all other convocation ceremonies: long and sometimes boring 🙂 I was waiting for her as soon as she got off the stage […]
