Asleep at the Wheel 40 Miles Left to Go
Leaves are falling all around, It’s time I was on my way. Thanks to you, I’m much obliged For such a pleasant stay. But now it’s time for me to go, The autumn moon lights my way. For now I smell the rain, And with it pain, And it’s headed my way. Ah, sometimes I […]
Ok, that was a pretty damn fine weekend. Mark, Coop, and I headed out to Van to meet up with a whack of others for Ryan and Rachel’s wedding, a spot of drinking, and general catching up with a bunch of friends. The flight out was pretty good, but Air Canada managed to separate our […]

Here’s a fun little parody of Apple, Sony, Nintendo, stereotypes, and the marketing industry all at once. In the style of the latest “I’m a PC, and I’m a Mac” ads, someone put together a PrayStation 3 vs. Wii ad. Funny, but it’s also a pretty scathing commentary on marketing when you think about it […]

It’s unbelievably depressing, but it was so nice to have them here for the weekend. Apologies for the quiet, I’ve been dealing with my basement turning into a bathtub (twice!), […]
Two nuns are riding their bicycles down the back streets of Rome. One leans over to the other and says, “I have never come this way before.” The other nun whispers, “It’s the cobblestones.” (from stickboy)
And by one of those days, I mean one of those good days. They’ve been a little widely dispersed of late, so it was nice that it came along on a day where the weather was damn near perfect. I managed to get a tonne done, including making a batch of fresh Pico de Gallo […]
