oh yeah, another thing
I saw Tony Shaloub yesterday. I was walking up Church St at Queen, where the big Henry’s camera store is, and a Cadillac Escalade parked on Church St across from Henry’s. Tony Shaloub wearing some sunglasses got out of one side, and some other guy got out of the other side. I saw Tony, recognized […]
Finally, an excuse to wire all floors
I bought a broadband adapter (aka Ethernet card) for my GameCube yesterday, $29 pre-owned at EB. A pretty good deal I think. Plus, I’m planning on setting up my PowerMac 6100/66 in the basement, now that i have an extra monitor to use with it. So now… I need to figure out how to get […]
Sad news for UTS folks
CBC News: Toronto student killed in solar-powered car – The student is Andrew Frow, UTS class of 2001. I remember going to high school with him at UTS, even though he was three years younger. This story is all over the place now, including slashdot.

go ahead, do your worst
comments are re-enabled again. Despite it being a short week due to holiday Monday, it was still busy as all hell at work this week. At times my mind felt like liquid metal. I’m not sure why… Jordan got Sandy and I hooked on The Flaming Lips. I think we listened to Yoshimi Battles the […]
Just what happened yesterday
Last night when I got home I was incredibly tired. But it was the day to put a second coat on the “Blue Monster”: that’s the huge wall in our stairway that we’re painting blue. I moped around a bit and then did it with some help from my friends Mr. Extension Pole and Mr. […]
John Shirley on marketing turning into brainwashing
In this guestblog writeup on BoingBoing.net, John Shirley talks about what I’ve been thinking about marketing for the last 10 years: the lack of ethics, and the extreme tinkering with brain control going on. Best part of the writeup: A marketing guy at Toyota complains–he’s complaining about this!–that young people “have the total ability to […]
