two beers and a fruit cup

Ok, that was an interesting day. I went to bed way too late last night considering I had to be up at 3:45 to catch a 6am flight. I woke up to what I thought were snowplows early in the morning, but it turns out it was some tectonic shakin’ and bakin’. In any event, […]

just about ready to go…

…one more game, and gopher‘s boys will kick off March Madness as the number one seed. A win tomorrow will give them an undefeated regular season, as well as a probable unanimous #1 seed in the tournament. No team has has finished the season undefeated and won the NCAA tournament since the 1976 Indiana squad. […]

time flies

Words can’t express how much I’ve missed you every single day over the past eleven years. Love, always. (you taught me that 😉 )

sarcasm done right

A nice little bit on some of the absurdity that can come with copyrights, and extensions that the idiots who pass laws down South keep popping in. Unhappy Birthday to everyone. 🙂

cibc grabs some more

I’m guessing the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce is pulling out all the stops in retaining its customers after proving how competent they are. I dropped my CIBC Aeroplan card three or four months ago because, at the time, I wasn’t doing enough travelling/spending to make it worthwhile. I keep getting statements because up until […]

Then I thought about it, […]

what is deadsquid.com all about, anyways?

I get this question a lot, and have always meant to have a short history on the subject. Here it is: A long, long time ago, on a university campus not so far from here, a small incubator company was born. Its founders had convinced the federal government that they should try this cool new […]

who’s old? run’s old!

Ok, seriously. What’s with all these references to getting old from the pups? Did people take a creaky pill this weekend, or is it just because it’s the end of February and we’re all about ready for a spring rejuvenation? I wasn’t feeling old today (still don’t, but I’m wavering). Today was one of those […]

sled saturday

If coop is old, what does that make me? I’m curious in that “oh look, a cement truck” kind of way. I’d say axe is not allowed to answer, but he wouldn’t listen, and where would be the fun in not getting smacked down after leaving the door wide open? Saturday night coop and Kristina […]
