So, just like I rewrote the main site, I've also re-written the forums. They've been done for a while, but I've just been using them myself. I haven't seen any glaring bugs, but if you do, drop me a line and let me know, please. Also, in case anybody didn...

Using this flash animation, you can make yourself into a South Park character. Good way to waste time at work ;) Originally posted on Thursday, 2005-04-14 at 10:23:13.

This is one of the coolest things I've ever seen put out by a technology company. It's not a product, it's an advertisement...but it's awesome. It's an explanation of Hitachi's perpendicular technology done in the style of schoolhouse rock. Click here to ...

Let me start out by saying that I love Uncommon Grounds, but their coffee sizing methods just don't make sense. Is it not logical to call your smallest size, oh, I don't know...SMALL? And say, perhaps, you had three sizes. What would you call them? I thin...

So Messenger 7.0 is out now, officially. I recommend that you all download it, it's pretty cool. Some of the new features include letting you see little, miniaturized images of the contacts in your contact list, allowing users to append a message to their na...

I'm in Ottawa on a business trip and the hotel they put us in is fucking awesome. It's called the Brookstreet Hotel. Hands down, it's the best hotel I've ever stayed in. Better than anything in Halifax. The Internet connection in the rooms is FAST, which c...

What do the Pope and Terri Schiavo have in common? Come on, that question is its own punchline. Originally posted on Friday, 2005-04-01 at 15:26:28.

I bore witness to something on google maps that completely blew my mind. It recognizes one-way streets when giving directions. I suppose it makes sense since they get their data from a company who also provides data for car navigation systems, but holy shit,...

Every year, I think about trying to come up with a list of things that somebody can do free on their birthday. Stuff like Baskin-Robbins free ice cream or lunch at Mother Tuckers and things like that. But every year, I forget until it's too late to do anythi...

I just found out that the restaurant (or diner, I guess it's a diner) in the basement of the BMO building downtown has its specials online. Pretty cool. Originally posted on Tuesday, 2005-03-29 at 13:32:05.

I am seriously considering starting up my own podcast. I have pretty much all the gear I would need to do it, short of a three or four channel mixer that would be handy for adding music or switching between two microphones. I am planning to record anything I...

So far this year, I've heard no less than three people in seperate situations ask me if there is going to be another spine.cx pubcrawl. I don't see why there can't be if the interest is there, but the last few seemed to be waning in the number of those attend...

Right now, I'm sitting in the Blowers Street Paper Chase. I've ordered a club sandwich and a bowl of ginger-carrot soup. I'm listening to another table's conversation about which country of the world has worst bastardized the English language. One says the ...

I'm sure many of you have heard of Skype. Me too, but I had never really used it until yesterday. Man, was I impressed. I got a friend of mine to give me his skype ID over MSN messenger and then I dialed him up. It was amazingly clear. Computer to compute...

On the way into work on the bus this morning, I heard a piece on the news stating that local bar owners are upset about a push by the Nova Scotia government to take away their VLTs. I say good for the fucking government. Their chief argument is that they w...

I have been wanting a small, portable wi-fi-enabled device since wireless technology has been available. Now that PalmOne has introduced their SD wi-fi card, I’m thinking to myself, “This card + my Zire 72 = unstoppable!” I journey to Futureshop to pick one ...

I'm trying to get into Podcasting. There are some interesting shows that I've started to listen to on the bus ride downtown in the morning. Unfortunately, the software sucks ass. I haven't been able to get anything I've downloaded to work properly for me. I...

I just bought an iRiver IFP 799. It's a 1 gigabyte player that thanks to a timely firmware upgrade, windows recognizes it as a removable drive. I credit this purchase to Brent who had previously bought the 256 meg version. It's a pretty sweet player all i...

In a .NET windows forms application, paste this code into one of your windows' code files: protected override void OnPaint(PaintEventArgs e) { base.OnPaint( e ); this.SpecialSecret( e.Graphics ); } public void SpecialSecret(Graphics g) { g.Cle...
