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...

Inspired by some ideas the previous article, I have a similar style question: Obviously all of us who read this website use computers. A large number of us work with computers. What kinds of ergonomic inventions do you use that you find you just can't live ...

I was over at Brent's today, checking out his new computer. He got his case over at MysteryByte Computers, that place that you can see from the Armdale rotary, but can't figure out how to get to (I guess that's the mystery). I was just wondering if any of y...

Make your friends say whatever you want. All you have to do is upload a photo, tell the app where to position the markers for eyes, nose, and mouth, and type in what you want them to say. I'm especially fond of the "Scottish Male" voice. You have to downlo...

Shame on me for not posting any new articles in a whole week...Hopefully the pub crawl more than made up for that. Anyway the photos are up here so go comment and rate them. Will any of this new batch make it into the top 10? Just keep in mind that I wa...

Everyone hopefully realizes that we indeed have our 40 people, and the crawl is now moving forward. Shirt design has been finalized; it changed only very slightly from the original mock-up that was posted. Can you spot the difference? :) You can pay me any ...

Ron MacLean is apparently NOT returning as the anchor-man of CBC's long running Hockey Night in Canada. After 17 years an argument over money has put him at odds with the CBC. Ron was asking for a salary of $600,000/year, pretty steep if you asked me. I don...

And not just the psychiatric kind. The problem is that (as of right now) there are only 21 people signed up for the FNP 6 crawl. I don't think that's enough people to even warrant doing it, which kind of, well, sucks. If I can't get at least 40 by October 5...

It's been recently talked about by Famous Players Cinemas to allow beer to be sold at the concession stands at movie theatres. You wouldn't be able to take it into the actual theatre though, just drink it in the lobby. So, do you think it's a good idea? H...

Following, in the article, is a tentative list of bars for FNP 6. I took into account your suggestions from the poll. I know you can't please all of the people all of the time, but hopefully this list will appeal to the most of the people most of the time. ...
