There was a weekend. I had it.
And, not surprising in the least, it was a fun one. It started on Friday evening, when Jessica, Julie, her husband and I headed out for a bit of their last minute Christmas shopping. Of course, mine was, historically, finished before December. Afterwards, supper was had at the local … Read the rest

Bruins 7, Maple Leafs 2.
Uh. Someone tell me what happened? I ended up missing that game–something for another entry, and they apparently decided they weren’t going to play on Saturday. I’d cry, but I’m pretty well numb to the pain by now. We kicked ass. Twice. Should have been three times. And then we … Read the rest

Maple Leafs 6, Blue Jackets 3.
Alright, who replaced my hockey team while I wasn’t looking? I swear everyone but Kessel has been substituted for people who can play–and that only because Kessel doesn’t need to be substituted. The guy in net *looked* like our back-up goalie, but he played like a certain young man now … Read the rest

They sure don’t do Christmas like we do Christmas.
About 2 weeks ago now, I packed up my things and got me on a bus across the border to Rochester. The plan, which is coming to fruition ever so slowly, was to be here for Jessica’s graduation, as well as her birthday, plus the already passed thanksgiving, and then … Read the rest

Okay, I’ll admit it. I’m an RSS junky.
I have RSS feeds for damn near everything I’m interested in. Some of them, though admittedly not all of them–yet, anyway–are on Twitter, which makes keeping up on most of my interests just that much easier. I’d probably have an RSS feed for all my RSS feeds if I thought … Read the rest

Rogers, you and I need to talk.
It’s great that you’re coming out with a new, in-house and online equivalent to your on demand option available through your cable services. It’s even greater that you’re extending the option of using it to customers of any Rogers service. But you might want to, maybe, give not screwing over … Read the rest

This is college. This was me in college.
Anyone curious why it is I didn’t decide to take my parents up on their strong recommendation that I become an English major need only read this. Sure, it’s intended somewhat to be humourous, but sitting in some of the classes I actually managed to go to while I … Read the rest

So this is what happens when I’m bored.
I know this isn’t a techy type blog, but well, I’m a techy type geek, and it’s my blog. I’ll get back to writings of a more personal nature just as soon as I have something to write about. In the meantime, have a read. You might yet find something … Read the rest

Maple Leafs 3, Canadians 0.
Wow. Just… wow. The contrasts between last night and the night before is absolutely surprising. We did the one thing we hadn’t yet managed to do this season on Monday–get shut out completely, and last night, on the backs of some pretty awesome goals (breakaway to open the scoring, anyone?), … Read the rest

Taking the analysis challenge.
Since I started this blog, I’ve been running a local tracking tool for the purposes of generating stats of mostly general interest to me–how people got here, what people read when they got here, did they come back, where did they go when they left, all that interesting to me … Read the rest
