Just a quick note so people don’t think I forgot how to count. Yesterday we shopped. All day. The kids went to grandma & grandpa’s place for the night, and we shopped the heck outta Vancouver.  Actually, we mostly shopped the heck outta North Vancouver, and a little of the downtown core. We bought…

28: Six Hundredth Post? Srsly?
This is my 600th post on this incarnation of this blog. I had another one at Blogger for a while, and I think I have them somewhere, I’ll have to make sure they’re back in my archives. Maybe another 15 posts or so. Elissa is over for our quad-weekly visit and Pimms-fest. Booze-amahol is inherent…
17: What have you been DOING to this guitar?
Just caught a commercial for Guitar Hero World Tour (looking suspiciously like some OTHER three-piece band game by another company who simply bought the development company) but here’s the cooperative cross-over from hell: Kentucky Friend Chicken. Really? REALLY? Anybody’s who’s ever been passed the five-buttoned Guitar Hero controller immediately after a particularly sweaty-handed rendition of…
N’mo Day 6
Life on Mars should be a very bad show, based on the elevator pitch: A cop in present-day New York gets hit by a passing car, and wakes up in 1973, still a cop in New York. There’s some odd crossover from present day (people he knows in 2008 are younger in 1973), and the…
Nap’mo 5: This is going to suck.
I’m changing the titling so as not to offend KarlaBabble (like SHE ever comes HERE any MORE), but mostly ’cause yeah, I agree that the vast majority of my own “I’m going to write every day for X days” challenges are deeply depressing to myself, ’cause I don’t usually get past day three before skipping…
I’m such a slacker.
I used to make this trip to/from work as often as possible (I was shooting for three times a week): View Larger Map Now I make this trip, and it takes about 4 minutes (6 if I hit red lights). View Larger Map Gotta love a 4 minute commute. Oh, and since it’s all uphill…
Oh, are you still here?
This was going to start as a little piece talking about how much more time I spend at Facebook, but I don’t spend much time AT Facebook, I’ve been spending time chatting with friends VIA Facebook. See, there’s this chat system, and it’s meant to allow users who are on FB to chat with others…
One thing Apple does a little *too* differently, and F-Lock YOU!
Okay, riddle me this, Apple Fans: Let’s say I have a list of 26 songs (let’s call them “A” through “Z”) in iTunes, and I want to select *some* of them. I click on the beginning of my selection (let’s say “L”) hold down shift, and start cursoring down to select “M, N, O, P”…
Yeah okay, but what does it MEAN?
So Arwen and I were Googling “don’t irritate your new boss” looking for the source of this creepy baby picture on the back of a parenting mag, and found this utterly weird translation page… about gardening… or something… I think. It’s like I was warned about a certain psychedelic experience many many years ago: It’s…
This just in… Microsoft’s COFEE for Police – Can D0Nutz be far behind?
So Microsoft quietly released a USB drive to a bunch of law-enforcement officers to allow them to collect data (passwords, Internet history, cookies, etc) from “live” Windows machines. While this is “breaking news” today (probably more now, but this search only showed two pages on Google as of this morning), it seems that people have…
