I have never really wanted a laptop, but I managed to get one from work in a game of chance. I started to find it very useful because I was able to work on the same computer wherever I was. Slow VPN connections were no longer really an issue. Embracing th...

Spine.cx was moved yesterday from its previous home in the basement of the building on the corner of Quinpool and Windsor, to its new home in Purdy's Wharf. I think it likes it there. Better view. In other news, Old Navy opens in Moncton on September 30th...

It's that time again. Time to think about Sunday shopping. Surely you didn't forget about the pain and the anguish we went through at the end of the Christmas shopping season when it went away? Well, on Oct 16th there is a municipal election for the Halifax...

I saw The Village last week. Didn't really have time to write about it though. This is M. Night Shyamalan's latest effort (and fourth that he's both written and directed). For those of you who haven't seen The Sixth Sense, Unbreakable, or Signs, this one ha...

Today I saw something I've never seen before. Nor do I ever expect to see it again. It was the damndest thing. Jeff kicked a power bar, the things with multiple power outlets that you can turn on and off, and it fucking blew up. It exploded with a fury a...

One of my favourite bands, Chixdiggit!, is playing in Halifax tomorrow (Friday) night at Stage 9. As good as they are on record, they are even better live, so I suggest that anyone who can check them out should do just that. As for Stage 9, I'm still tryin...

I know, I know...I haven't posted anything in over a week. I'm a big slacker. Well, here's some new photos: First, we have some Tall Ships and next we have a house being demolished by a backhoe. Talk amongst yourselves. I'm busy. P.S. T-shirt guy, I...

My roommate bought this portable electronic media player the other day. It's very cool because it's really small, and plays Ogg Vorbis, my preferred format. Another cool feature is that it can record in realtime to MP3, which means, depending on the quality ...

This time they've gone too far. Well, maybe not too far, but certainly far enough for me not to like it. Perhaps you've seen the signs they've posted. I've seen them around the Bayers Lake area. "Take Back Canada", they say. From what? From social progre...

They are finally tearing down the decrepit, condemned, old parking garage on the corner of Granville and Sackville Streets. It's been a long time coming, some would say. It's stood there for a number of years, useless; a shadow of its former self. Perhaps i...

I have had a black Simple Plan t-shirt, size large, donated to me by a generous benefactor. It doesn't even come close to fitting me, so I thought I would give it away on the website. I wanted to post a picture of it, but every time I tried to get the pictur...

Find modern songs too long to listen to? Can't wait to hear the closing chords and get on to something new? This album may be just the thing for you. It's 100, yes, one hundred songs squeezed onto one 80 minute CD. By forcing himself to find really, real...

What's the last thing you would expect when you wake up in the morning? For me, the last thing I would have expected was for my eyelid to be turned inside out and swollen like an altar boys's tuchus. Honestly, I wish I had a photo of that for you (stay tuned...

Yeah! I was at the Technology museum in San Jose today and I got to ride a Segway. At first, it's not very intuative, you just feel like you're going to tip over when you lean, but you get the hang of it fairly quickly, and it becomes pretty natural. Still, ...

From: Dragos Ruiu To: bugtraq@securityfocus.com Subject: Caveat Lector: Beastie Boys Evil Date: Wed, 16 Jun 2004 01:10:23 Well I truly regret actually purchasing a copy of the new Beastie Boys album to support them. It seems that Capitol Records has...

They couldn't have picked a better day for a transformer explosion: Sunny, 25° I'm standing by the window in my office on the 12th floor of a downtown office building and I hear a huge BOOM and then all the power goes out. Fantastic! I'm very happy that V...

So, yeah, my party happened on Saturday night. I'm still working on getting the webcam's photos turned into some kind of stop-motion video. It worked pretty well while it was light out, but after that the pictures just turned out black. Bummer. Anyway, t...

Friday was Jeanine's birthday, so a bunch of people went out for drinks and eats at Mexicali Rosa's. Unfortunately, I accidentally ordered their 'contest food', simply because it was a good deal. After finding out that I could get my picture on the wall and ...

I've done some stupid things in the past. Some of them really stupid. This ranks up there with the best of them. My brother convinced me to attempt eating a 72 ounce steak at the Lone Star. It cost $40, but it was one of those, "If-you-can-finish-this-meal...

Ok, so I'm driving home and the street one block down from me is roped off with police tape. Cop cars all around. You'd think, "WTF?!", right? Me too. Naturally, I pull over and walk back, camera in hand to see if I can find out what the hell is going on. ...
