Asleep at the Wheel 40 Miles Left to Go
3899 I decided to pass on the whole “eat” thing at lunch, and headed over to Jacques Cartier Park for a round of disc golf instead. The water was pretty high along the river, so hole #1 was underwater and unplayable after the drive. The rest of the course is pretty dry, and it was […]
3883 It’s fun being a Leafs fan in Ottawa (disclaimer: I thought Alfie’s impersonation of Mats was pretty damn funny, and it was a shame that a Lady Byng candidate such as Tucker was on the receiving end of a questionable hit). No, really. People send you the nicest things in the mail. I will […]
3853 Just got back from Cranford, NJ after spending a great Easter weekend with Walt, Lee, and the kids. There was brunch, chocolate, fresh Mex, wine, beers, and a little walking of a line. As always, it was great to stay chez Trotta, and pictured here is Jake, now nine months old, and acting out […]
Because moggy posted hers, and I’m awake too early for my liking, and everything I have to do I don’t want to, I will procrastinate instead. Here’s a pictoral represenation (in red) of the states I’ve visited down South. create your own visited states map Yes, I actually have been to Kansas. It was like […]
I’ve always wondered, how gaseous does Guinness make you? I’m not convinced the stuff they serve in Europe is the same as the stuff they serve here. Every time I drink more than a pint or two here at home, I wonder if they don’t spike the stuff with dissolving gas cartridges of some kind. […]
Well, I feel like a complete and utter idiot this morning. Last night I was at the gym, and was running a little late getting back for WoW night. It seems in my haste to get in front of my PC on time, I left my gym bag in the back seat of my car, […]
3845 It seems that this is what you get from Blizzard for your $15/US per month more often than not these days. My favourite part is the “Okay” button. Dear Bliz, it’s been going on for months, and it’s not ok. I’ve been sitting on the fence about whether the game is worth it these […]
3839 The folks over at the Roundcube webmail project have released (8 weeks ago) the first beta of their web client, and it’s installed for all the friends and family to give a whirl. Unfortunately, a preview window didn’t make it into the beta release, although I’m not convinced that’s a bad thing from a […]
On one hand, it’s a depressing figure because I’ve got such a way to go. On the other hand, I’m just under 1/7th of the weigh (sic) there, which is a great start. I want to get down to my goal weight from a couple years ago, which I never quite made after tearing up […]
/misccrap/blog/sttng_lives So, after the fastest date in recent memory (87 minutes), I started working on my ST:TNG pin last night. I traced pretty much every wire, and repaired a number of solder joints while verifying continuity. I finished this afternoon, and when I figured it was all good, flipped the switch… and got a garbled […]
