A Canadian court has rejected a motion that would have allowed file sharing netizens to be sued. Looks like it's open season (as if it wasn't already) on file sharing. The original article on CBC.ca is here. The Recording Industry Association of America...

I figured if I was going to start posting more frequently, I would go out and actually take some new photos too. There are two new albums posted for your viewing pleasure. One of them is my (albeit short) visit to Point Pleasant Park on Saturday, when they...

Hold on just a minute, this isn’t something I’m offering to the general public; rather, it’s something I have just experienced. Some friends and I were at the Granite Brewery on Barrington Street and started to eat supper, continued drinking beer, and decided...

Yeah, I know it's been over a week since I last posted something on the main page, but honestly, it's because I've been either working or sick. This post will make the wait worth while. I am announcing the 8th incarnation of the Feelin' No Pain pub crawl f...

That's right. On my bus, people get in, stare at the door, and do not talk to anyone else for the duration of their stay. Unless you're with friends, in which case talking is allowed. This is because the rest of us get to eavesdrop on whatever interesting c...

I'm worried about Merrill's. It's been an institution in my perception of the downtown scene for as long as I can remember. Since getting a job basically across the street from it, I've been there for lunch a number of times and I've brought nearly all of my...

I'm not sure if the title yet applies to the HRM employees or the retarded fuckers on the road this morning, but it's possibly a little of both. They had a curfew on for two nights so they could clean up the streets. They closed off downtown so they could wi...

Undergrads, one of the best animated shows ever, in my opinion, has finally come out on DVD, but guess what? It's not available in Canada yet. Sure I could order it on Amazon, but I think I'll wait. The rips are coming out online (I've got 6 episodes), so I...

The WB network has announced the cancellation of one of my favourite shows, despite increased ratings over the same period last year. They are at least allowing them to finish the season, but I have my doubts as to how they're going to end the series graceful...

For anyone who doesn't yet know about the best web browser out there, here it is: Firefox. Previously named Firebird, previously named Phoenix, still the same great browser. Tabbed browsing, automatic pop up blocking, sheer blinding speed, and, well, the fa...

There a couple of links from Slashdot that I found very poignant to whom I think my readers are ;) It's not plagarism if you cite your sources, right? Building a home theatre PC. Something I am currently thinking about; yeah, I have a computer that's hook...

The BBC uses real media format to stream their videos and such, but were annoyed (as we are) that RealPlayer came bundled with spyware and other crap that nobody likes. They commissioned Real to make them a player with no ads or spyware, but because they are ...

Many of you probably have never heard of such a movie. Those of you who have will know that it's one of Bruce Campbell's later movies. That's right. Bruce Campbell from Army of Darkness, the campy, horror/comedy classic. Anyway, it's playing at Park Lane...

After putting out several films together, such as Monsters Inc., Toy Story, and most recently Finding Nemo (the most successful animated film ever), Pixar has announced that they will be severing ties with Disney, who distributed their works. As usual, the ...

Not to be outdone by the American's $20 bill, the Canadian government has released a new $100 bill with the usual ramp-up of anti-counterfitting features: Watermarks, holograms, metallic strips, etc. Check out a picture in this story. Originally posted on...

Is it just me, or is the Queen of England knighting people like it's going out of style? Originally, I thought, fine, she can knight whomever she wants, but at least up until now she was confining herself to British citizens, as they are the only ones who can...

"No scents is good sense", or so the new signs in my office tell me. It's supposed to be the start of some sort of campaign to get us to stop wearing scented products to the office for people who are sensitive to them. What about the people who are sensitive...

Read a story in the Daily News today that said the president of Labatt Breweries of Canada wants to position Keith's in a "splashy marketing campaign" that could make it the most popular brand in the country. It goes on to say how Keith's will always be brewe...

So, Eastlink recently started offering a new set-top box that can decode and display HDTV. "Why is this significant to me?" you may ask? "Well", I would answer, "HDTV is not only the most significant update to television as we know it since black and white g...

You would think that we, as Canadians, would have this winter driving thing all worked out by now, but after last night's 15 cm snowfall, I can see that we have not. I witnessed some un-smart things being done by people this morning. For example, sliding int...
