I wrote this up as part of a discussion from boingboing, but I should post it here. These are the gadgets I carry around regularly. On the belt, a Motorola V101. Sure, it’s ugly as sin, bulky as hell, and sucks for actual voice calls. But it has a screen that you can actually read […]

I’m back, 100% feeling fine. Returning to broadcasting at ya. Sandy and I found a new apartment on Friday! It’s around the Don Mills & Sheppard area of Toronto, right across from Fairview Mall. It’s a nice building – possibly the only really nice one in that area – and it’s right on the subway, […]

Yesterday it hit me like a sack of potatoes falling on my stomach. Today I am back, but running at around 80% capacity. My cell phone does strange things when its battery gets really really low, like either turn on every pixel in the display, or just give a garbled display. Or the display is […]

I saw the following on a small unassuming sign at the north door of the CBC Broadcast Centre in Toronto: The CBC is looking for people who would like to be in the audience at a special live edition of The National to be aired on March 6, 2003. The show would start at 8pm […]

I left my wallet at home today. Need I say more? I have $2.72 on me. Looks like a hot dog lunch for me… Damn I’m hungry.

I’d already given Sandy her birthday present from me, an AVC Soul III MP3/CD player. She got various little things from her mom. I spent most of the weekend […]

Hey, it’s been about a month since I moved this page to using MovableType, and I’ve been pretty happy so far. Looks like it’s time to upgrade to version 2.63, though. Mmm, features and bugfixes.

I just spend an hour trying to figure out why my script wasn’t writing any output and not producing any error messages. I left out one tiny little damn statement. Grrrr………

I didn’t go to Sleater-Kinney on Monday. I am somewhat kicking myself for this, and if you’d like to come and give me a swift kick in the ass and yell “WHAT WERE YOU THINKING, MAN!!!!!” then be my guest. But when the friend you were going to go with informs you a hour and […]

This morning I had a rather harrowing experience on the 401 (very long, large highway). I was on a ramp that was joining with some other ramps to create the collector lanes on the 401 Eastbound around Dixie Rd. in Mississauga. As such, there was lots of nice empty pavement in front of me and […]
