dude, you’re getting a … wait, pass the j man!

‘Dell Dude’ arrested on pot charge – heh. heheheh. Funny. Dell Dude. I’m waiting for Ellen Feiss to get charged with presenting a forged prescription now. (Just kidding!) beep beep beep beep beep beep beep! I worked my ass off today, yet again. And interrupting my normal work was the task of recursively retreiving the […]

News front pages from around the world – cool stuff. If only the images were then linked to the stories online… Today’s caffeine intake: high.

there’s no place that I couldn’t be without you

Pthhh, let’s see. I had a cold all last week, and a ton of work to do. I worked my ass off to meet as many deadlines as I could, and it felt good, even if the cold medication made me feel as if I was floating 3 feet off the ground. Yesterday it hit […]

well what do you know…

CBC News: Powell’s evidence fails to sway most of Security Council. Surprise, surprise. The show-and-tell session seems to have been filled with mostly hot air and unconvincing satellite photos. I’m sure I could pull up some satellite photos of some factory in the US from TerraServer and label some round things “chemical storage” and some […]

concertos, with only one ‘o’

Yes, that’s an awful title. I know. My favourite way to give back to musicians lately is to attend concerts instead of buying CDs. Consider that the vast majority of artists will only get half a dollar or less per CD sold, while they get a decent percentage of the ticket price at a concert. […]

*sniffly*

Sandy’s got the flu. I’m not feeling too great either – I think I slowed down enough for this cold to catch up with me. And I’m out of tissues at work. Great.

“That’s it, I’m going on a diet. No more butter in my coffee.”

one of my favourite pasttimes: communicating through Simpsons quotes. Seems like NewtonTalk is down right now. This, of course, sucks ass. I’ve been informed that a trouble ticket has been opened with our new hosting service. Update: it should be back shortly. Today’s Penny Arcade: it really is like that every time I go to […]

looks a little nicer now

I added a banner image at the top. It’s a little huge right now (120K PNG), but it’s not permanent. I personally like how it turned out, but please let me know what you think of it by leaving a comment in this entry. It should look fine in Mozilla and IE 5.5+.

scary ’cause it’s… well, scary.

Cool-2b-Real is a pretty scary example of the culture-website-as-marketing-tool meme. This is a site that seems to be aimed at getting more young girls (seems to be age 12 or less, looking at the ages to eat, well, beef. Brought to you by America’s Beef Producers, of course. Especially check out the poll (“What type […]

things I didn’t know about my manager, but I do now

Used to listen to hip-hop Owns a pair of 1200s (DJ turntables) Used to mix house tracks Apparently, all of this activity stops when you turn 30. Damn, I haven’t even bought my 1200s yet, and I’m gonna be 23 soon!
