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...

Driving around today, I noticed a van beside me in traffic with 88.9 something something on the side. Unfortunately, this is another fucking classic rock station. Yes, exactly. That is exactly what Halifax needs. We have a huge shortage of classic rock s...

Spam of the week: From: Adam Phelps <AdamPhelps@0451.com> Date: Mon, 12 Jul 2004 17:49:18 -0060 Subject: Q22 Silence. Stuck out my head. Nobody. And I went on my way, whistling a tune. Jonathan sighed. The price of being misunderstood, he thought. ...

Plans are starting to come together for our road trip to Boston. We've been researching campsites so we can travel on-the-cheap, and I think we've settled on Wompatuck State Park. It's about 30 minutes south of Boston, so we should be able to drive to the ne...

I've implemented a new feature that will let you guys not only decide whether to post a blog entry to the home page or not, but decide from 4 distinct levels of privacy for them. While coding the feature, I was thinking that it would be cool if everybody coul...

For those of you who have always wanted to try real absinthe, but haven't wanted to import it from France, now's your chance. Vin Art Wines will be offering tastes of the green fairy this Saturday from 1 to 5 pm. Not only can you pick up a bottle of this s...

There are two fairly major concerts happening on the Dartmouth waterfront this summer. The first being Wilco on July 12th, and the second being NOFX on August 14th. Some of you might know that I have a hard time paying the fucking crazy prices that so-call...

Check my Flickr photos for some pics of the pub crawl. If you have photos of your own, post the URLs in the comments. I think a good time was had by all, even if Beth didn't win any awards :) Originally posted on Sunday, 2006-05-28 at 23:21:19.

The official LOST podcast from LOST producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse says that in the 3rd season of LOST, there will be no re-runs! The first six episodes will run un-interrupted from November, ending with a mini-cliffhanger, and then will not air fo...

If you've ordered a t-shirt for the Seal Clubbing pub crawl, it is now in my posession. Please call my cell (488-8291) to arrange a time to pick it up today (and pay me if you haven't already), or you can just get it at the first bar of the crawl (Rogue's Roo...

I had a phone conversation with Ian Frosst about the LOST season 2 finale. Now you can hear it too. A personal theory: I think that the fake Henry Gale is really the fiance of Penelope Widmore that she was going to marry instead of Desmond. Her team in t...

An organization called Doors Open Toronto sponsors an annual event where the general public can have free access to "architecturally and/or culturally significant properties that are either not usually open to the public, or would normally charge an entrance f...

Don't read any further if you haven't seen the finale yet (and you don't want to be spoiled). What the fuck is with Jack taking a call on a land line? He hasn't used a land line for the whole fucking season, he's getting planes and submarines patched into ...

Just downloaded the first episode of the UK edition of Big Brother. I can't express to you, the reader, how much funnier it is than the American version. Let me count the reasons: 1. Accents. Even just inside the UK, there are countless accents. Manche...

A grand total of 48 shirts were ordered this morning. To anybody who didn't get their order in, well, too bad; you had ample time to do so. Again, here's a link where you can pay me for the shirt(s) you ordered. Originally posted on Thursday, ...

Frosst and I talk about the 2x22 episode of Lost, Three Minutes. He's on satellite internet, so there's a little bit of lag in our Skype connection. I don't know if we have any actual insights, but we had fun. Originally posted on Wednesday, 2006-05-17 at 2...

My brother got me to try this beer that his Austrian friend Ingo brought over from Germany, and I have to say, it's pretty good. Listen to the audio review for the full scoop. Originally posted on Tuesday, 2006-05-16 at 21:10:37.
