Went out for dinner tonight with Arwen’s mom & faux pa, and since Fridays are kinda special for us, we chose sushi at Downtown Sushi in our old stomping grounds. They’ve got a little upscale on some of the fancier rolls, bucking the standard Vancouver “sushi places almost outnumber Starbucks” pricing of $3-$4 for your…

Nerd Alert
I’m not going to put up photos for another day or two, but I’m taking shots daily, so maybe by tomorrow or Friday. In the meantime, if you got a few bucks kicking around, and can’t think of anything better to do with them than give ’em to some sorta good cause, like maybe Movember?…
NobemverPoMoustyclonobo
Long post warning: You has it. November 2nd. No point in posting the picture of my alleged moustache, ’cause there’s hardly anything there unless I have *just* finished shaving with a Bic, and I don’t have a camera or the patience to even bother getting anything approaching a macro setting for some hairs on my…
NaBloPoCycloMovember: Day 1
Hi, I have decided to join a global movement that is bringing much needed attention to prostate cancer.  I’m doing this by growing a Moustache this Movember, the month formerly known as November. My commitment is to grow a moustache all November and I am hoping that you will support my efforts by making a…
Ny Fangers Are Spre.
Warning, geekery ahead, and not the fun “hey, press this button and blow up your computer” kinda way that I often think about, but just some nuts & bolts thoughts about New Jobs, and Units of Work, and Things. Rambliness. So, we’re into week four of the New Job (or is it week five?) and…
No, really, I’m still here. Honest.
Started a new job (2mo contract) last week, and so I’m just trying to figure out where I’m going to fit into the mayhem I see in front of me. Nice people that I’ve met so far (all five of them or so), and the new location looks like it’ll be a good environment. There’s…
…and other things I wouldn’t have understood in 1993
Today, via Firefox and then Filezilla, I installed a plugin for WordPress, which collects my Tweets daily and turns them into a post, which will THEN be pulled via RSS into Facebook as a note, which will confuse the Legion of John Burtons. Of course, say stuff from back then (1993 or so) to kids…
Don’t eat molten lava (even if it does contain pepperoni).
This post triggered by SuperSecretVault, so don’t tell anybody. Not to be confused with SuperSpecialQuestions. Oh wait, is there a SuperSecretAnswers.com? Maybe I should grab THAT. When I was a young buck, having just migrated across Canada in a two-toned yellow Datsun 210, I got a delivery/driving job in a pizza place (Smitty’s Pizza of…
24: Too stressed about tomorrow to post.
Just watching The Hour with George Strombatromboneaphoneapolis, and David Byrne is on, and he looks, oh, maybe 40. I think he’s been taking lessons from Bowie, or something. He’s got white hair (like me!) that’s kinda sticky-outy on one side (like me!) and rides his bike around town (like me!) and has worked with Brian…
19: XSims360, Hulk, Devious Bastards, and Computers Make Me High.
The new front end on the XBOX360 (that got rammed down my throat tonight before I could watch a movie) is cute and seems like it might be fun. Much like the first 5 minutes of The Sims. Unfortunately, unlike the Sims, there’s nothing to DO with the character/avatar thingie you just created. Watched the…
