Crawl & Order: The day after

Spine.cx Archive 2005

The Crawl & Order pubcrawl went off last night without a hitch, save perhaps for the crap-ass weather. The photos are up over here, the pubcast is over here, and you can comment on anything about the crawl in here. Originally posted on Sunday, 2005-05-22 at ...

Garrison's Jalapeno Ale

Spine.cx Archive 2005

I visited Bishops Cellar today with my 10% off coupon from The Coast. Got a whole bunch of stuff I've never tried before. Right now, I'm drinking Jalapeno Beer by Garrison. It smells like the nachos from Empire theatres. Even the crappy cheese; it's amaz...

Wireless is almost ubiquitous

Spine.cx Archive 2005

I am almost convinced that wireless can and will be everywhere. Right now, I'm in the basement of my grandmother's house in St. John's, Newfoundland, and I'm stealing wireless from somebody in the neighbourhood. It's tremendous. The signal is almost non-exi...

Website feature!

Spine.cx Archive 2005

I have told a few people this, but I'm sure most of you don't know: You can get redirected to your blog through snazzy personalized URLs...you just stick your username in front of blogs.spine.cx. For example, mine is http://steve.blogs.spine.cx. Makes it ea...

Pink Razors

Spine.cx Archive 2005

Chixdiggit have a new album out, it's called Pink Razors. Man, just when you think they can't rock any harder, they come out with something that rocks fucking harder. I think Chixdiggit is probably my favourite band of all time, eclipsing my previous favouri...

The new Doctor Who

Spine.cx Archive 2005

There's a new Doctor Who series and so far, it's awesome. Obviously since we're in an entirely new decade for Doctor Who, the special effects are an order of magnitude better than you've ever seen. The Doctor is in his 9th regeneration and is played by Chris...

The second podcast

Spine.cx Archive 2005

So, we got together at my place and recorded a second podcast. This one has Jeannine talking into a much better microphone. Thanks to Matt Muise for lending it to me. We run the gamut with this one...talking about everything from how to prounce 'scallops' t...

Spine.cx's first podcast

Spine.cx Archive 2005

Yes, it's true! Spine.cx has entered the pod-o-sphere. I'm guessing that some (probably many) of you have no idea what podcasting is or why it could be useful to you. The short version is that podcasting is the downloading of binary content via RSS syndicat...

The Subway Thing

Spine.cx Archive 2005

For posterity, here is the original Subway rant that pretty much got Spine.cx on the map. I just wanted to make sure it wasn't lost. Bring Back the Classic Cut An Online Petition Picture this, I'm at Subway, and I'm looking forward to sinking my teeth ...

New Forums!

Spine.cx Archive 2005

So, just like I rewrote the main site, I've also re-written the forums. They've been done for a while, but I've just been using them myself. I haven't seen any glaring bugs, but if you do, drop me a line and let me know, please. Also, in case anybody didn...

More companies should do this

Spine.cx Archive 2005

This is one of the coolest things I've ever seen put out by a technology company. It's not a product, it's an advertisement...but it's awesome. It's an explanation of Hitachi's perpendicular technology done in the style of schoolhouse rock. Click here to ...

I thought everything was relative

Spine.cx Archive 2005

Let me start out by saying that I love Uncommon Grounds, but their coffee sizing methods just don't make sense. Is it not logical to call your smallest size, oh, I don't know...SMALL? And say, perhaps, you had three sizes. What would you call them? I thin...

This Ottawa hotel is awesome

Spine.cx Archive 2005

I'm in Ottawa on a business trip and the hotel they put us in is fucking awesome. It's called the Brookstreet Hotel. Hands down, it's the best hotel I've ever stayed in. Better than anything in Halifax. The Internet connection in the rooms is FAST, which c...

Google maps is officially the best website ever

Spine.cx Archive 2005

I bore witness to something on google maps that completely blew my mind. It recognizes one-way streets when giving directions. I suppose it makes sense since they get their data from a company who also provides data for car navigation systems, but holy shit,...

Birthdays in the HRM

Every year, I think about trying to come up with a list of things that somebody can do free on their birthday. Stuff like Baskin-Robbins free ice cream or lunch at Mother Tuckers and things like that. But every year, I forget until it's too late to do anythi...

The Montreal Grill

Spine.cx Archive 2005

I just found out that the restaurant (or diner, I guess it's a diner) in the basement of the BMO building downtown has its specials online. Pretty cool. Originally posted on Tuesday, 2005-03-29 at 13:32:05.
