Music spoof of the day
Maybe this is not so new, I dunno…but it made me laugh. Does it mean I’m a geek if this gives me endless chuckles?

OK so after my two “I’m afraid of Americans” posts, my friend in Philadelphia pointed out that maybe the title was a bit harsh. Especially if I end up having to move there…I can see the immigration guy now: “oh. You’re THAT twitchy67. So you want to live in America huh? No problem; let me [...]

Ok so I thought the chocolate chip pancake surrounding a sausage made the grade as the most unhealthy/unappetizing food substance ever, but noooooo…I was wrong. Oh how wrong I was. Check this out: Fried Coke. Seriously people…this is NOT GOOD EATING. I found the fried coke article right between an article on rising obesity and [...]

Does the Internet Suck?
Thanks to Mark Evans for pointing me to the original article and writing a (probably much better than mine) essay on the subject on his blog.
I mean anything other than time? Last week, MacLean’s magazine (a weekly news magazine up here in the frozen north kind of in the Time vein) published a story title [...]

My Heavy Metal week
It’s been an oddly nostalgia ridden week and a half or so for ancient heavy metal and me. For some reason the 80’s has been reborn in media recently and it’s all landed in my vision this week. In 1983 while in High school I heard Motley Crue’s Shout at the Devil and became a [...]

I *Heart* New York
So I got back last night from NYC, already planning a vacation there in the spring. I don’t know why I’ve never spent much time there before… To quote Frank Sinatra that’s my kinda town (er…it occurs to me, not really being a big Sinatrafficiondo and all, that he may have been singing about Vegas…but [...]

IF you were a Canadian growing up in the 70’s and 80’s you’re probably familiar with Triumph. They were the other big Canadian prog rock band, although more rock than prog. Where Rush was always bordering on pretentious intellectualism, Triumph occasionally had some fun too. Anyways, there guitarist/singer was Rik Emmet (who, by the [...]

Off to the Big Apple
So I’m heading out to New Jersey on Wednesday to meet with some customers, and they’ve invited us out for dinner on Thursday night in Times Square. I’m pretty stoked, as NYC is the one major US city that I’ve not spent much time in. It should be a good time.
My flights for this trip [...]

Whoops…GAH! Drank a coffee…
So yesterday I was at work and Brock decided he wanted to go grab a Tim double double (uh…coffee for all you non-initiated). As it’s right by a drugstore and I needed a pack of ciggies I went with him. He waited in the Tim line while I grabbed my smokes and once I had [...]

I’ve been listening to Frank Zappa alot recently. I’m not really sure what pushed me zappaward, but I’m glad i dusted off the ol’ Sheik Yerbouti CD and locked it into the CD player. Sheik Yerbouti was my first Zappa album and hence has always had a special place in my mind. The band of [...]

So here I am on day 8 of no caffeine. I can’t say that I really notice a huge difference in my life or my wellbeing yet, but I have been able to wake up with no problem the past few days. I don’t know if that’s ever been a big issue for me tho, [...]

Chris Kranky (great blog name, btw Chris!) writes in his post today that he feels consumer broadband VoIP adoption is done; on the downward spiral as it were. Chris seems to feel that since Skype has more web traffic than Vonage then Vonage must have reached all 3 million tech savvy consumers in its market. [...]

So after Duane blogged that I told him to quit caffeine and so he did (by the way, the truth is I told him to quit Diet Coke, not caffeine specifically) I decided I should too. So I did. I decided last Friday that Sunday would be my last caffeine for at least [...]

The Yardbin Swan Song
So Friday night was our last gig as a band. We had a few people show up, and had a pretty good time all around. Benjamin Keith went up first and did an acoustic set. This kid’s someone to watch I think…very good singer and fairly charismatic. His songwriting skills were right up there too. [...]
