Weekend randomness, and ODSP is ultra evil.
The latter is obvious to anyone who’s actually using the service, but I’ll get to that momentarily. Jess and I spent the majority of this weekend thus far kicked back and relaxing. She graduates on Thursday, so we’re sort of trying to gear up for that. Also, because we haven’t … Read the rest

Bruins 5, Maple Leafs 2.
It’s safe to say it. We sucked. By end of second, we were eating a 3 0 disadvantage that didn’t get a whole lot better in the third. We got within one, and that was it. It wouldn’t have been quite as bad, but the fifth of five was an … Read the rest

The blog now has a new face.
After just over a month, I’ve hit the redesign button. Switched out the old theme, and giving this one a try. Not sure how much different it’ll actually be, but this is it for now. If it turns out the theme absolutely sucks beyond any and all belief, I still … Read the rest

I see a darwin award in your near future.
I’m not sure if this is normal for Ukraine, but it’s WTF-worthy in Canada. A chemistry student, mistaking an explosive powder for citric acid, dipped his bubble gum into it. And then, quite promptly, blew half his face off. I’m all for trying new and unusual things from time to … Read the rest

Winter tries to say hello to Rochester. Finally.
There’s about a 6-hour drive between Ottawa and Rochester, where I’ve been spending the last few weeks, which one would think wouldn’t amount to a whole lot of difference weather-wise–when we’re freezing, they’re usually freezing. But there’s been a winter trend that, until just yesterday and today, has been trying … Read the rest

Maple Leafs 3, Islanders 2.
I don’t know how it happened. I’m not even totally sure it did. We actually didn’t suck last night. Well, we weren’t playing like a team that deserves a playoff spot, what with blowing a 2-goal lead in the third only to scrape out a winner at the 16 minute … Read the rest

Mike makes the news for simply doing what he loves.
I’ve been following Toronto Mike since probably early-ish in 2007, when I randomly stumbled on one of his many articles relating to our mutually admired and at the same time hated hockey team, the Toronto Maple Leafs. I was cruising Technoradi–yes, that was back when it was actually good–and … Read the rest

The next great Canadian FAQ.
I’ll freely admit, a lot of these answers are still hillarious as hell, and I’ve seen this come across my inbox a few times. The sad part is, even before we were ready to play host to the 2010 olympic games, while I was doing work at Dell, I actually … Read the rest

An open letter to DreamHost.
Dear DH, I happened to be up during the night for unrelated reasons, and just so happened to be walking past the computer to take care of a thing or two. In so doing, I couldn’t help but notice the tell-tail signs of a severe breakage not entirely unlike one … Read the rest

Maple Leafs 5, Thrashers 2.
Well, I guess we didn’t suck. I mean, we weren’t overly insanely great, but… we didn’t suck. And the team managed to put a few in the net without Kessel needing to play mister almost hat trick again. Hell, even Toskala almost made me forget why it is we shoved … Read the rest
