Last big weekend in Rochester, summarized. Awesome.
I may have spent the last 3 days playing catch-up on what happened over the weekend, but the weekend was still far worth it. It was pretty well back to back cellebrating of one thing or another–first with a belated wedding shower for a couple friends of ours on Saturday, … Read the rest

My parents, the non-gamer gamers.
I got a random call from my father while I was down here, with the probably fourty millionth tech question the family’s posed to me since I turned geek. Only this one with a twist. It would appear my parents, who haven’t even looked at a gaming system since I … Read the rest

If this video is legit, my ISP’s awesome just increased.
There’s an advertisement being floated by my ISP, Teksavvy, that’s made it on to Youtube. Apparently, it’s also being shown on TV in some places–though personally, I hadn’t seen it until today. If it’s indeed an actual ad for the service, it’d be the first one I’ve seen from … Read the rest

Unexpected Victoria day cellebrations, and fun with .wav files.
Sometimes, my apartment has the weirdest benefits. I blame living in a small town. I was treated to a rather unplanned–at least, I didn’t plan it–fireworks show for the May two-four weekend. Or, as we call it up here, the Victoria day weekend. It didn’t last entirely too long, but … Read the rest

Things you miss when you don’t read the news. Or, why I should pay more attention to the mock-worthy.
I haven’t been keeping up on my usual sources of entertainment this week, primarily on account of having catching up to do in other areas. I kick myself for it now. In list format, because I can, things I could have, and should have, soundly mocked this week. You may … Read the rest

Why I should never check my email. Ever.
Bad things happen when I check my email. Like, for example, the loss of an ability to breathe. I blame my relatives. Cough Syrup………. The pharmacist walks into the store to find a guy leaning heavily Against a wall. He asks the blonde clerk: “What’s with that guy over there … Read the rest

Apparently, my neighbour’s cat is broken. Badly.
I haven’t been spending a whole lot of time in this apartment, particularly when compared to how long I’ve been paying rent on it. But, there’s one very noticeable thing that always seems to be present every time I am. A very bad-sounding, apparently constantly in heat, cat. I didn’t … Read the rest

Those crazy Apple fans.
We knew back in January we’d be getting bombarded with any and all things iPad. I knew back in January I didn’t want it. At all. What I didn’t know, and probably should have–it’s Apple, after all, is that people would go absolutely crazy over getting one. As in, … Read the rest

In which mom becomes this year’s April fools casualty.
I’m the family geek. Which, really, has its positives as well as its rather irritating negatives. And sometimes, it’s neither positive nor negative–just six or seven different kinds of hillarious. Take Friday morning, for example. We’re sitting down for breakfast, and mom brought up an announcement by Google that said … Read the rest

The nephew, in pictures!
Because I keep threatening to do this and never get around to it, I now get around to it. I don’t have many pictures of him yet, but thankfully he’ll be around for ages, so that’ll change in plenty of time. He’s just over 6 months old now, and growing … Read the rest
