6 Months, 5,000 hits
I started this blog in June of this year. Back in late September I started to wonder if I could hit 5,000 hits on this site by December 1. That would have been 6 months of life for my little bloggie-poo, and seemed like a reasonable goal. Well, it looks like I missed by a [...]

This lingering cough…
It just won’t go away. For a week now I’ve had this lingering cough that’s driving me nuts. I don’t feel particularly bad, but I get these coughing fits that last for like 10 minutes. It’s driving me nuts. The worst part is I sleep and I cough in my sleep and when you cough [...]

Winter Wonderland
OK so I take back what I said about the snow being gone by noon…heck if it keeps snowing it will probably still be here tomorrow morning which will, of course, make for one uuuuugly monday morning commute. Since I generally walk that won’t affect me much, other than getting down the steep hill to [...]

It started snowing yesterday afternoon, and this morning I see that it’s stuck. This is a rare thing in Vancouver, and tends to make the whole city grind to a halt as all the people forget how to drive for a bit. For those of us who grew up in places where it really snows, [...]

Pee yer pants laughing Video OTD
OK so usually family baby videos don’t do anything for me…generally only the parent finds the funny stuff their kid does funny…but this…I almost fell outta my chair laughing. It’s just… well watch it.
BTW…i found it at this blog thanks to a referral from Scobleizer.

More comments, dammit!
So I notice that my blog gets comments from 5 different people. Only 4 different people. I get several unique visitors a day (it’s more than 5 by a long way, but still a tiny number as blog stats go. But hey…there is no specific topic here and it is fairly new, and both of [...]

Geek Girls – oh how I loves ‘em!
I kinda have a thing for geek girls…not sure why. Nothing like a hot, smart girl, preferrably smarter than me (although that’s not all that difficult to achieve) who can give the good lovin’ AND fix my home network. Mrrrooowwwwrrrr. Even better if she can recommend the best graphics card and help me remove the [...]

My books
I read alot. I go to bookstores and spend too much money on a regular basis. I get caught up in books and rarely find one I figure to be bad. I tend to buy books at random and don’t have a particular style that I prefer. When I was a kid I was into [...]

For the geek on your X-Mas list
Christmas goodie of the day:
As we approach the holidays, some classics just never die. For the Star Wars geek on your christmas list, send them this lovely link of happiness. Now for me it seemed to stall a bit, hopefully it works better for you. Thanks to my pals over at Futurelooks for pointing me [...]

Water water everywhere…
…but not a drop to drink. With apologies to the ancient mariner.
I live on the side of a mountain, quite near the bottom of it. I’m not sure what the name of the mountain is; I know it’s not Grouse or Seymour. It’s actually between the two. As most of BC’s coastal range goes, [...]

The Internet: 2 years to legal!
So apparently the World Wide Web as we know it had it’s 16th birthday yesterday. I’m a little bummed I missed it…it would have been a great excuse to buy a DQ ice cream cake. It’s hard for me to believe that the internet is only 16 years old; I think of all the hours [...]

It’s been a while since I’ve written a poker post. So it’s time. This weekend my gmail account showed a comment on a poker blog I haven’t written in for like 2 years. Of course my first thought was spam, but i still went to check it out. Turns out it was neo-spam…some guy just [...]

I’m one of those hockey fans that really annoys part time fans. I watch the games in the years when the team sucks as much as when they’re heroes. I happily take any tickets to games I can get. I don’t boo my team when they’re chewing goat on the rink and I don’t leave [...]

Billy Talent is one of my guilty pleasures. I have both their Cd’s and think they’re a great bit of rock and roll. It’s loud, aggressive, and these guys are great live too. They are touring the north eastern US right now, and if you have a chance and are into punky pop, check it [...]

So it’s been a few days since I last posted; I’ve been a bit under water, as they say, and have had trouble finding time. Yesterday was a crappy day; it seemed like bad news piled on bad news which was stacked on crappy news and depressing information. It’s not often that all the stars [...]

I picked up this CD on an impulse purchase the other day and I’ve listened to it a few times now. It’s really growing on me. I have always been a fan of somewhat self indulgent and probably over produced rock opera type of CD’s, and this one fits in pretty well. The one thing [...]
