I think our ground hog lied.
It was unanimously decided back in the beginning of February that there would be 6 more weeks of winter. Here we are in mid-february, just 2 or 3 weeks later, and we’re just barely managing to stay below freezing. In fact, I hear tell tomorrow will likely go above freezing. … Read the rest

Hey, Google? I was kidding about that everywhere crack.
Really, I wasn’t serious. Honest. When I said you were all over the place, it was really intended to be an exageration. You didn’t have to go and get all social with your buying out of Aardvark just to prove a point. Really. And this whole getting into the … Read the rest

Virtually spam free, and lovin’ it.
Every so often, Mike will post some nifty little trick or tool he uses that makes doing X, Y or Z about a hundred times easier than some would argue it has to be–thanks for the Google Analytics pointer, by the way. So it surprised the hell out of me … Read the rest

CTV Ottawa lights up. Literally.
A goodly portion of my TV watching, at least that which doesn’t consist of hockey or baseball, is done on CTV. Usually, its Ottawa station–particularly since they were nice enough to kill news broadcasts from Ottawa’s local A Channel station. Their Ottawa newsroom caught fire overnight last night, resulting in … Read the rest

Hockey. It’s in the family.
The Leafs being up 4 nothing in the second against Ottawa reminded me, I’m a lot closer to the game than I often times realize. Just how close, though? If we’re all connected by at most 6 degrees of separation as I’ve been told, I’m connected by 2. My cousin … Read the rest

Accessibility by accident? Possibly.
Over the few months leading up to the Christmas holidays, the original cordless phone set I had for the apartment–one of those older two-handset jobs–was really starting to let go of, like, everything. I had one who’s battery might last 30 minutes, and another who’s battery might last 30 seconds. … Read the rest

Use IE 6? Use Google? Not for long.
Just about everyone who watches this kinda thing’s been reporting that as of the beginning of March, Google’s officially going to shut down IE 6 support for its services. You’re strongly encouraged–well, by them anyway–to use that as an opportunity to give their new web browser a try. IE 6.0 … Read the rest

Life has decided I can’t do laundry.
Unless I’d like to devote half my small amount of spending money to cab fair, laundromat fairs and replacing half the supplies I don’t get back from the said laundromat, apparently. At the beginning of the year, I discovered this building’s dryers rather suck when it comes to actually, you … Read the rest

Exam day.
Roughly 12 hours from now, Jess will more than likely be a good way through taking her exam for the New York state boards, and that much closer to being a licensed massage therapist in that state. She’s pulled I don’t even know how many 13-hour days over the last … Read the rest

My problem with American Idol.
I used to at least make an attempt to watch American idol every couple weeks. Mostly because I was living at home and we only had 2 working TV’s, both of which would usually be in use, but a small part of me found something about the show fascinating. It … Read the rest
