Your favourite contest has re-appeared at your favourite coffee-and-donut shop. Yes, Roll-up-the-Rim is back at Tim Hortons. If it's anything like last year, I'll buy at least one coffee a day for the two or three months that this contest is on, and I'll win...

A co-worker of mine posed an interesting question about elevators. (Wouldn't my object oriented programming professor be excited if he knew we were about to discuss elevator theory.) Have you ever wanted to take back a button that you pressed in error on an ...

Most, if not all, of us receive some spam in their email. And we hate it. We curse the people who would use such an underhanded tactic in their attempt to advertise to us. Whether it be for a no-hassle loan, or for porn, or maybe even for that penis enlarge...

Yeah, I'm selling my car. I could only find one photo of it and it's of the rear. I'll try and take a few more. Anyway, it's a '95 Taurus, blue in colour. It's got power everything; seats, mirrors, brakes, steering, & door locks. Air conditioning for thos...

I don't think I'll ever run out of things to rant about. Let me set the scene for you... It snowed last night, as most of you will have realized by the time you read this. Ray and I head to the ski hill. It's promising to be a glorious day. The temperat...

I don't know how many people outside my own office ski, but you are welcome to join Ray (who won't login) and I at Wentworth on Saturday. There are two more spots in my vehicle for anyone who would like to come with us. Drop me a line if you are interested...

It wasn't long ago that I was remarking how cold it was, but I would gladly trade the craptacular weather out today for a sharp drop in temerature. I can't believe that it's 6 degrees out. Just think, if we went back to Friday afternoon, and if it was below ...

Two brothers in California strangled and dismembered their mother, and obviously it is the result of watching The Sopranos. I can't begin to express how messed up that last statement is. Anybody who kills and dismembers anybody is a pretty twisted fuck. If ...

Does it seem unusually cold to any of you other Haligonians? Maybe it's just me, but I think it is cold. Silly cold. Shit ass damn cold. Some people have been saying that it's not any colder than it should be, but the the past three or four years have be...

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...
