If you’re looking for more people to look in on from time to time, I’ve added James and Kjell to the assorted (and motley) crew to the right.

It’s been a really long time since I’ve taken any vacation which didn’t involve Ottawa as a destination or the place I spent the majority of said vacation. The primary reasons for this have been school and work. When I was in school, I was broke, so didn’t go anywhere other than a car camping […]

So I have tickets purchased and everything. A real vacation that doesn’t involve work somewhere along the way. I’m psyched. Even though I’m flying Mapleflot, I’m still psyched. 🙂

I read this, and all I could think was “wtf?” The suicidal man who authorities say caused the chain-reaction train derailment that killed at least 11 people has been charged with multiple counts of murder and could face the death penalty, the district attorney said yesterday. It just strikes me as odd that you’d want […]

So for those that don’t know, I resigned my position at my current employer late yesterday. I’m going back to working for a hw/sw company, and am really looking forward to it. I’ll be spending two and a half weeks tying everything up, then will be starting the new job. It’s public knowledge at my […]

Today is Robbie Burns day, and I’m currently in Toronto. McK had pointed this out earlier, and when I called shaver to see if he was around, he pointed it out as well, and mentioned that they were celebrating. Being the celebrating sort, I joined them at the Duke of York for dinner. We all […]

So it’s done. If you don’t know what “it” is, check back in a few days. I’m feeling strangely fine, and considerably less stressed than I was. One of my vendors told me today “you sound happy”. She’s right, I am.

Today I proved that I can wake up at 05:20, pack, drive to the airport, shave (while driving to the airport), grab a coffee, and make a 06:15 flight. I also think I set a personal best this morning for number of times using the word “fuck” before 06:00. That said, I made it to […]

Today is the day I start training for the National Capital Marathon. It’s not until the end of May, but between now and then I have to get to the point where I can run 60-70km/week (before the taper), so I have a bit of work to do. Kjell is going to come out for […]

Eif. I think I know what I’m doing with a significant portion of my life for the next little while. Burnout3 is the most entertaining game I’ve played in a long while. Remember when you were little, and you got the Hot Wheels out and play-crashed huge wrecks? That’s the name of the game. Race […]
