I’ve discovered one very good thing about changing jobs. Now, when I tell people where I work, they don’t bitch to me about their experiences with my company (mainly because they’ve never heard of it). That’s actually a much nicer bonus than you’d think it is.

Ok, so Soulwax is my new found fave band. Electro-rock, as prii calls it. Here’s a new way to learn the alphabet: It’s not you, it’s the E Talkin’ I think the thing that scares me the most is how insanely quickly they make it from A to Q. Eif.

Don’t visualize. Poor right brain, soak it with beer, and everything will be better.

Bill Simmons nailed it right on the head. And we are all victims of a once-likable league that screwed itself up beyond repair, the same way you screw up a relationship by drunk-dialing too many times. The NHL made two unforgivable mistakes: expanding more recklessly than Krispy Kreme and paying their players way, way, way […]

The Illini are 22-0, and are crushing the opposition. Thirteen treys. Twelve steals. Four of five starters scoring in double figures. Their second straight road win against ranked opponents. Their fifth win of the season against ranked opponents (in twenty-two games!). Awesome, simply awesome. For the record, I think Dukie is full of shit; these […]

I receive around 50 legitimate messages a day, but I’m used to around 400-500 total per day. DSPAM is now doing it’s job fairly effectively. I’m surprised, because it didn’t […]

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 […]
