Asleep at the Wheel 40 Miles Left to Go
Today I shipped my less-than-two-month-old camera back to Canon for repairs. In the process of shipping it I learned several things: I really dislike packaging fragile things for shipping. Think “snowball made of cardboard and bubble wrap”. I should be more careful with carpet knives if I expect to have all my fingers when I […]
This is so you.
But I thought this was really funny. So I’ll share.
Well, fuck. Seems I have a wee bit of a problem with my new camera. It looks like the glass filter that covers the CMOS is cracked (the lens is sparkling, and when I look at the sensor I see a line going side to side that matches the shape I see in the pics […]
It is just before the England v Brazil match. Ronaldinho goes into the Brazilian changing room to find all his teammates looking a bit glum. “What’s up?” he asks. “Well, we’re having trouble getting motivated for this game. We know it’s important but it’s only England. They’re rubbish and we can’t be bothered.” Ronaldinho looks […]

Well… it may not be new, but I just noticed it today. Check out the “A song about this tee…” link on the upper-right-hand side of this page. Have a look at the tee first, then play the song. If you’re sufficiently twisted like me, you’ll giggle. Yet another reason why threadless is the best […]
I think the meaning of the standing ovation has been lost somewhere along the way, or it might just be that in Ottawa people don’t get it. That sounds pretty pretentious, but I can’t remember the last performance of any kind in Ottawa where people didn’t stand and applaud at the end. I like the […]
Look! A manual exposure! By me! Not involving a trench coat and a bus! And it looks like I may even have a clue! And how about all them exclamation marks!!! (damn you, prii) Thank you Canon for making it easy to fake it, and thank you even more Bryan Peterson for an outstanding reference […]
