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...

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...

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.

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...

Whee! Spine.cx (in its current incarnation) is one year old as of the 11th of August. The traffic on the site has definately increased during that period. It doesn't seem like that long ago that I was posting about reaching 100,000 hits, and we're almost at...

We're going to be starting a new (hopefully weekly) feature on spine.cx that's basically going to be a "Dear Abby" type of thing. Only it's not Abby who will be answering your questions. The principal answerer will be Kim, or Butterfly, as she goes by here. ...

What sort of site should Spine.cx become? That's the sort of thing I'm thinking about lately. Should it move toward a certain genre of topics or stay the mish-mash of everything it is now? Do you think having other active authors (i.e., people besides me) p...

Yeah, a blackout party doesn't work so well for things requiring electricity to function, does it? :) The astute and dedicated among you will have noticed that spine.cx was down for a period this (Monday) evening. The cause? A rogue self-immolating power ...

It was a sunny day not unlike today that Spine.cx was born back on August 11th, 2001. Well, this particular incarnation of spine.cx anyway. I've had the domain name since 1998. Originally, this website was not much more than a place for photos. And I didn'...

Hot on the heels of the ground breaking (ok, not really) photo display system is the stupendous, incredible Calendar! It'll let you keep track of your day in some rudimentary fashion. You can post events that are either private (only you can see them) or pub...

It looks like I must begin the search for a roommate yet again. My current roommate is moving out at the end of May. If you know anybody looking for a place or is just toying with the idea of moving, gently, but firmly, nudge them over this way. I've got one r...

SYDNEY (Reuters) - "Crazy Ants" are devouring the famous migrating land crabs of Australia's Christmas Island and may have killed off up to half the crab population in the past few years, a conservation official said on Wednesday. http://reuters.com/news_...

I finally have something to be proud of. I'm the fifth most screwed up individual on the Internet, according to The Screensavers and their "Web's Weirdest Personal Crusades" article. I guess the Subway Petition isn't dead after all... Originally posted on...

Right now, the forums (where all future photoshops will go) are totally seperate from this main site. That means that users have to create two logins, and that's a pain in the ass. I have a solution, but I'm not going to have the chance to implement it until...

I don't have a high enough normal article to photoshop article ratio to keep posting all the "photoshop this pic"s that people want me to post, so I've made a place on the messageboard area where you can go and post your own. Go nuts. Originally posted on ...

I've been inspired by Google to come up with some holiday or special event-based logos for this web site. I figure with all you photoshop types out there, this shouldn't be too hard. I'm looking for a better halloween one that I have right now (see top of ...

I'm working on a way for users to be randomly given the ability to moderate comments. This may take a while because the more I tinker with it, the more I find that this software is held together very tenuously with strands of thread :) What I'd like to ...
