It's clear that I suck at coming up with new polls. Post your suggestions for new ones here. There's a maximum of 12 choices, and one of them should probably be "Other", unless there is really a finite number of choices. I'll consult with my colleagues, a...

I am giving away a bunch of old hardware that is not necessarily crappy, as the title of this article implies, but is stuff that I just don't need or use anymore. This is including, but not limited to, two pairs of computer speakers, two monitors (a 15", and ...

First person to post in this article (that wants them) gets two tickets: Oldtimers' Hockey Challenge (14th Anniversary) Legendary Hockey Heroes vs. Law Enforcement Allstars Saturday, January 11, 2003 @ 6:00 pm Halifax Metro Centre Oh what fun. Origin...

As many people know (and relish!) a new bill concerning smoking in public places has come into effect as of 01 Jan 2003. This website, has all the information you should need about these new regulations, including the bill itself. The thing I find the most...

What do you all think about attempting a virtual beer bash? Webcams, headphones, Yahoo Messenger and the OH- of your choice? Meet online at a given time, etc. Hey! No cab costs. No line-ups. No bad weather. Cheap booze. I'm such a loser. Originally pos...

Late last year, a number of people were asking me when the next pub crawl was going to be. If you recall, however, I had quite a bit of trouble rounding people up for the last one. I have no real desire to put one on if only a few people are going to go; we ...

Welcome to 2003. It doesn't really feel any different, does it? And where the hell are the flying cars? Aren't we supposed to have them by now? Originally posted on Wednesday, 2003-01-01 at 09:50:04.

I'm not sure too many people noticed the small mention down in the Events section, so I thought I'd give it a little more prominence. Please indicate on the event if you're planning to attend. It would be nice for them to keep track of the number of people...

After three days of pining, I finally got to see Star Trek: Nemesis. I liked it, which should come as no surprise to anyone because I'm a rabid Star Trek fan. Season 7 comes out on DVD before the end of this year, and that'll complete my collection of all th...

I'm probably more psyched to see Star Trek: Nemesis than the average person, or even the average geek. Now, I'm not going to be dressing up like a Klingon or anything, but I can probably answer most trivia questions without breaking a sweat. Insurrection was...

I saw this movie mentioned on Penny Arcade and I found myself wondering why I'd never heard of it before. The trailer looks amazing. Lots of guns and cool fightin' moves and stuff like that -- that's always good in my books. I'm kind of surprised it's not a...

Marc wrote something less wordy than, but similar in sentiment to: "Consumers seem to want to shop on Sundays, that much was obvious. The really curious bit is that retail clerks don't seem to mind it either." Originally posted on Sunday, 2002-12-01 at 20:0...

I'm in line at my favorite local purveyor of warm, toasty processed meat goodness, $5 at the ready and fully populated subway card in hand. My overly-friendly sandwich artist informs me at the cash that due to "new regulations" in order to use my Subway card,...

I was at Pitchman's, which I have become convinced is the new JJ's. It's weird because I used to frequency Pitchman's when they were non-smoking and the only people that went there were other people in their mid-twenties trying to escape the nauseating haze o...

There have been a number of things running around in my head for the last few days, but I haven't had much time to devote to the site. I think I'll get them down in writing now, while I'm able... 1. I think I've actually managed to convince Ray that there...

So I guess we got some snow. Much snow. Who actually managed to get to work today? I spent half an hour just trying to get *back into* my parking spot :) Regale us with tales of your tales of snow-covered adventures. Originally posted on Thursday, 2002-...

I'm usually not one to go for the novelty CDRs, but these ones from Verbatim are particularly cool. They depart from the standard burnable disc in the way that they look like old-style vinyl 45 RPM singles. They're probably twice the price of standard CDRs, ...

You'll notice that the Spine.cx logo has changed to a Remembrance Day themed one. This is not because I've suddenly embraced religion, but rather that I think that Remembrance day (or Armistice day, or Veteran's day or whatever Americans call it) is one of th...

Jam Master Jay, a founding member of the pioneering rap trio Run DMC, was shot and killed at his recording studio near the New York neighborhood where he grew up, police said. Two men were buzzed into the second-floor studio shortly before shots were fired ...

Don't feel like lining the pockets of annoying little children with sugar? Want to get out of the house? If you've answered yes to either of these questions, then feel free to join us at the Oasis on All Hallows Eve, sometime after 6:00. Much merriment will...
