Let’s see. What’s going on over here? Caught part of the recent Golden Globes awards “press conference,” which was just kinda painful. Mary Hart from Entertainment Tonight fame just couldn’t seem to figure out how to turn it off for a moment, which gave her segments this weird “The Office” tension. You kept expecting her…

Been a while, and there’s been lots goin’ on.
So, uh hi. Long time, no see, eh? What have I been doing? Let’s see. Family: We’re good, all things considered. Xmas was stressy and rough, but only due to external circumstances (see Housing, below). Considering what we were up against, I think Arwen and I did extremely well. Nobody got hurt, and the kids…
Tennis Player vs. Soccer Player? That’s *my* idea!
Nifty video from Nike Momentum (drum circles cause adrenaline, who knew?) via the often interesting and always well-written How Advertising Spoiled Me. In the video, stars (it’s Nike, they can afford it – I’m surprised they don’t have them breakdancing), are squaring off, sorta, and you end up with tennis players slamming a ball at…
And we’re baaAAaack.
So, after the main drive on our server decided to pack it in after only six years of: running on a sad little Pentium III 733 Windows 2000 server (and IIS, ’cause they said it couldn’t be DONE) not enough air flow multiple power surges and outages three different low-profile power supplies a warm day…
Wow, and I thought *I* could talk fast.
…and to think I was going to go to bed at 9pm tonight… HA! So, for no particularly good reason, I’m sitting here at 12:13am, listening to the Kern County, California Law and Fire Radio Scanner (open that with Winamp, MediaPlayer, or iTunes, I’m assuming). It’s sort of amazing, that there’s so much going on,…
BC Place Deflated Today – Here’s The Clips (broadband only)
Pretty awesome. Here’s the playlist from YouTube of the videos as posted by my buddy SkonenBlades while he was at work (a Yaletown gaming company that rhymes with Stocksrar). Don’t know if his video’s all over TV yet, but he emailed it to our YahooGroups list just after 3pm. Check it out.
Sharpening the blades, geeking out, and the Force.
Hello everyone. Another long rambly thing from me. Feel free to skip. I won’t be hurt. Heck, *I* probably won’t read this thing again after tonight. This week has been a good one, even though the (sudden. actual.) snow here in Raincouver has been messing with my commute. I’ve been playing with the “real” version…
Way funny: headphones that HOLD your iPod (Nano)
Okay, I would understand if someone made headphones that would hold an iPod Shuffle (especially the new and smaller Shuffle), but these are just plain… stupid. The writeup is pretty funny on CrunchGear. I’ll stick to my Logitech Bluetooth headphones, thanks even if they are prone to cracking.
Vista and Office Final
Geekin’… sorry for folks who were reading me for the warm fuzzies. So, I’m writing this from a machine that’s running the *REAL* honest-to-goodness Vista Ultimate. Downloaded from MSDN a mere two days ago. I’d played with some of the Betas and Release Candidates, and for the most part kept thinking “Yeah, it’s sorta pretty,…
CanBlogAwards? Why was I nominated? Oh, ’cause I’m a tech blog (allegedly).
Put that under your mouse and click it. It was recently pointed out to me that I’d been nominated for the Canadian Blog Awards in the category of Best Sci/Tech Blog. I asked aloud why this was the case, I was reminded of a few of the geekier things I’ve posted about in the last……
