Through Jeff MacArthur, via Mike Lazazzera, I bring you the funniest video I've seen this year. It's a fantastic spoof of those classic Hinterland Who's Who videos that always used to run on TV when you were a kid. A few years ago, I wanted to see if my co...

Who would have thought that they could improve on the condom? I mean, everybody knows they suck, but they do the job, right? I must admit, I haven't thought about it much myself, but you wouldn't think there was much room to advance in prophylactic technol...

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 ...

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...

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...

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...

CBC is now offering podcast versions of what I'm willing to bet are your favourite shows. Have you ever wanted to listen to Definately not the Opera, but haven't been able to, because it's on right in the middle of Saturday afternoon? Now you can download th...

I didn't want this video to get lost, so I stuck it up on YouTube.com. It's from back in 1999 when I was on electric circus: Originally posted on Saturday, 2006-03-18 at 22:00:13.

Congratulations to Spine.cx's own Flashy and Triad who are getting married sometime in April. Sorry, but I forget the exact date. Here, Flashy looks absolutely absorbing in her TP wedding dress: Originally posted on Sunday, 2006-03-12 at 23:41:31.

I calculated my taxes and all that jazz, and by my calculations (actually, the calculations of UFile.ca), I'm getting approximately $343 back from our new Conservative government. I am seriously thinking about picking up a piece of technology from Apple in th...

I don't know how many of you guys listen to CBC radio, but you probably know that I do. For the last year or so, a curious entity known only as "Promo Girl" has introduced shows, announced upcoming programs, and the like. I always thought she sounded kinda h...

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...

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...

My friend (and boss) Jeff Pick just had his second kid. Another boy...I'll let him explain the sitution: On Thursday March 10th @ 11:43AM, Crystal and I (well, mostly her as I simply held the camera) unleashed another child containing my (apparently very cut...

Ever wonder where your money goes when it leaves your grubby little hands? I don't mean your "money" in the ephemeral (potentially electronic) sense, I mean the physical bills that you spend at retailers. Well I have. But it was only recently that I came in...

I have had a black Simple Plan t-shirt, size large, donated to me by a generous benefactor. It doesn't even come close to fitting me, so I thought I would give it away on the website. I wanted to post a picture of it, but every time I tried to get the pictur...

For anyone who doesn't yet know about the best web browser out there, here it is: Firefox. Previously named Firebird, previously named Phoenix, still the same great browser. Tabbed browsing, automatic pop up blocking, sheer blinding speed, and, well, the fa...

The BBC uses real media format to stream their videos and such, but were annoyed (as we are) that RealPlayer came bundled with spyware and other crap that nobody likes. They commissioned Real to make them a player with no ads or spyware, but because they are ...

Merry Christmas (or insert appropriate holiday here) to all you crazy kids out there. Hopefully everyone got what they wanted, whether it be material, spiritual, or emotional. This Christmas certainly was an unusual one, even if you're only speaking about t...
