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.

The Advertising Artwork of Dr. Seuss – Early drawings of Dr. Seuss’ adwork before he wrote children’s books. Some pretty neat stuff.

Today is Sandy’s birthday! She is 24, uh, 21! Yeah! And, I finally finished my homemade digital picture frame on the weekend. 5-minute epoxy is my friend. The frame is on so it looks nice, I just have to figure out how to mount the power switch nicely on the front and cover up some […]

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 […]

We went mini-golfing to The Putting Edge, which features glow-in-the-dark indoor mini-golf courses. […]

Looking like a pirate is fun but only having one eye annoys me (idea)@Everything2.com – Freaky true story about why wearing glasses is a Good Idea. Not for the squeamish. I’ve really got to stop reading everything2 while waiting for scripts to finish running and do some real work instead. Oh well, it’s lunchtime now […]

I spilled a glass of water all over one of the bookshelves this morning. You’d think that the aftermath of such a boneheaded maneuver would have woken me up, but I’m sitting here sipping my second coffee of the morning. I mopped up everything as fast as I could, and had to throw out half […]

I think ‘cull’ is my new favourite word. It just rolls off the tongue, and it can be applied in a variety of circumstances. I always thought it meant to select for purposes of destroying (eg. to cull a herd), but apparently it only means to select from a group. Yeah.
