They're playing here, in Halifax, tonight, at Stage 9. Originally posted on Monday, 2006-10-23 at 14:23:55.

How I could I write about the Halifax Pop Explosion without playing music? I decided to put my thoughts in an MP3. Check it out. Links: Shotgun and Jaybird The Sourkeys Pony Up! The Diableros Duchess Says Originally posted on Monday, 2006-10-23 at...

Just now, I went and hooked myself up with a feedburner feed for my personal blog here on Spine.cx. What's really cool is that I found out that I can have all the links that I post with del.icio.us, and all the photos I post on Flickr spliced into the feed wi...

Last week, I bought a Motorola SLVR L7 from a guy on eBay. It's basically like the RAZR, but it's the candy bar style of phone instead of a flip phone. So far, I'm liking it. It's not that I didn't like my iMate Jasjar, but there are some obvious advantages...

The actual release version of Firefox 2.0 is due out this week. It's got a bunch of cool features, but a couple of my favourites are the following: Session restore. If the installation of a plugin or theme necessitates a restart of the browser, or *gasp* ...

As I'm sure everybody here expected, I made it my mission to go out shopping on Sunday. I headed for Bayers Lake and shopped at both Futureshop and the Superstore. Futureshop was completely unprepared for how busy their store was going to be. Only one che...

In case you hadn't caught it, Spine.cx was mentioned in the Halifax Herald a couple of days ago. I'm wouldn't be surprised if you didn't catch it; it was quite inconspicuous. It was only after it was pointed out to me by Brent that I saw it myself. Anyway...

This case for the Motorola RAZR makes it look like it was made by Michelin. I suppose it might also save it from a fall down the stairs: Originally posted on Saturday, 2006-10-07 at 15:28:39.

A Nova Scotia judge has issued a ruling stating that the provincial government went beyond its powers by preventing grocery stores from opening 7 days a week. The article goes on to say that the Premier would "clear the way for wide-open Sunday shopping". ...

So, the Rolling Stones were here. They set up on the Commons nearest the corner of Cogswell and North Park streets. North Park street was blocked off and the traffic light pattern was changed. I am not going to complain about sitting on Rainnie drive at a c...

After receiving confirmation from the powers that be, I am more sure than ever that Spine Radio will hit the actual airwaves tonight at 0100h. I realize it's a bit late to post this in the hopes that anyone is going to listen live, but if you're curious what ...

This has got to be one of the funniest fan-made videos I've seen in a long time. Of course, I probably find it funnier than most because I watched every damn episode of the Transformers like I would break out in hives if I didn't. Rodimus, give me back th...

For anybody who listening for it like I was, Spine Radio was NOT broadcast last night (Tuesday @ 01:00) on CKDU, 88.1 FM in Halifax, nor was it the previous week as I had thought. I sent an email to the program director at the station and she's looking into w...

Earlier tonight, Apple released iTunes 7.0, mainly a vehicle to allow the sale of movies through the iTunes store, and an update to the video iPods to allow them to play downloadable games. I'm happy because the updates fixed a few of the biggest problems tha...

Firefox 2.0 Beta 2 came out a couple of days ago, and despite my bad experience with Beta 1 (that I suppose, in retrospect, I should have blogged about), I decided to throw caution to the wind and give Beta 2 a try. In 1 1/2 days of use, I have been pleasantl...

I need a hobby. Well, a hobby other than one that involves me sitting in front of a computer. Anything that doesn't involve me being sedentary. I've established for myself that I hate softball, so that's out. What else is there? Recently, while on my tr...

My step-brother, David Picco is going to be touring Atlantic Canada in the next few weeks. (He's from Newfoundland, but is currently living in Toronto.) He's playing on Saturday, August 26th at Ginger's Tavern on Barrington Street, and then again on Wednesda...

Blogger Dave Cheong has come up with a list of 18 ways to stay focused and more productive at work. I'll bet one of them is not posting on your blog...unless your blog is your work...I wonder what that's like? Originally posted on Tuesday, 2006-08-15 at 10:0...

I mentioned this a couple of weeks ago in a Spine Radio episode, but Brobdingnagian Records is giving away albums for the measly cost of packing material and postage. I can't think of a much better deal. When they're gone, they're gone, so stock up! Origi...
