One Night at McCool's
I don't remember seeing this movie in the theatres, but it stared me down countless times in the video store. Liv Tyler on the cover looking so good, how could I resist? And she's a redhead in this movie! I broke down and bought a used DVD from Video Que...

My New Year's Party
Here's the ultimate test of how accurate a guesser I am of the size (or lack thereof) of this website's local readership: Everyone who reads this in time is welcome to come to my place to bring in 2002 like it ain't nobody's business. If you don't know whe...
Merry Christmas!
So Christmas is here....I want to hear all your stories about visiting with relatives and/or in-laws. All the bitching about not getting those argyle socks you wanted, and all the jubilation over the mass of swag that you now boast. Lay it on me. I can ta...
Universal to render significant portion of CD players useless
While implementing their "copy protection" scheme for music CDs, Universal Music will be simultaneously rendering most DVD players, car stereos, and computers unable to play their wares. It's quite silly, in a way: If I can't play music on my DVD player, in ...
Theatre room renovations: Part 1
For those of you that are interested, I've been documenting the renovation of my home theater room with plenty of pictures. Click on the link below for a bit of a description of what's going on in the photos. Pictures are here if you can't read, and just w...
I'm number 5!
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...
Build a computer controlled VCR
Our friends over at SandyWalsh.com have an interesting article on building a computer controlled VCR, complete with a nifty diagram. Check it out. Originally posted on Monday, 2001-12-03 at 13:24:27.
Eastlink screws the pooch
If anybody reading this gets their Internet connectivity via Eastlink Cable in Halifax, they may have noticed that they were unable to reach this site for part of Friday night and most of Saturday. My sources tell me that some routing thing-a-ma-bob that I do...
What the heck is with MSN Messenger lately?
Has anyone else noticed that MSN Messenger keeps kicking you off every couple of minutes, seemingly at random? I hope this is happening to at least one other person or I think I shall go stark raving mad. My own personal theory is that is has something to ...
Choose an icon for the Games topic
I need help choosing an icon. Right now the icon for the "games" topic is a Dreamcast. This is simply because I now own one, and it's the reason I created the topic in the first place :) Help me choose (a more appropriate?) one. Click below. Here are ...
Watch women beat each other with sticks
I attended my first Dalhousie Women's Hockey Team game on Sunday afternoon, and it wasn't an entirely unpleasant experience. The best part? It's free. There is no better admission fee than free. Everyone should come out to their next game. My sources te...
Holy retro, Batman!
None of the following text is mine, but I thought it was really interesting. Read it, and see how many childhood memories it brings back for you. I was wallowing in my own adolescence for a good half hour afterwards. If not, then you're either too young (...
Pan & scan Grinch vs widescreen Grinch
This is something I really don't understand. Amazon.com is selling two versions of How the Grinch Stole Christmas: one in pan & scan and the other in widescreen. It's no secret that I, as the anal-retentive bastard I am when it comes to video and audio, p...
Burger King makes Whopper for left handed people
Am I the only one who thinks this is total and complete crap? Read this press release and see if you can discern what (if any) difference there is between rotating the condiments 180 degrees and turning the @#$%! sandwich around. I absolutely cannot believ...
My Television is Calibrated
I finally managed to get my television calibrated by a professional. His name is Gregg Loewen, and he was nice enough to post on the forums a description of what he did. Click below for a graph of pre-calibration vs. post-calibration values for color tempe...
Forums.spine.cx
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...
New Halifax news site
My brother, who runs Twisted Pair Network Consulting, Inc. has started a site dedicated to Halifax, and the surrounding area. There's no place for user comments, and he definately needs to get some better icons :) But it's sure to prove useful. Most impor...
Spank the monkey
Another in the long line of Flash games that never cease to amuse me. You can actually spank a monkey. It's funny because there's a monkey, and you spank him. My top score is 822 mph, but I sort of found a way to cheat :) See if you can do any better. O...
Remembrance Day Ceremony Photos
Photos from the Remembrance Day ceremony at the Grand Parade in downtown Halifax. I didn't take very many, but I guess some is better than none. Click here Originally posted on Monday, 2001-11-12 at 09:03:30.
