Forget soccer and football, let’s see some baseball!
Ottawa’s city council is once again being approached by two major developers regarding the building of a new sports arena. One wants to bring a soccer team to Ottawa, the other wants yet a third crack at football. I do have to wonder, though, has anyone ever considered the … Read the rest

General updatey goodness, this time from Ottawa! Yay!
Still managed to update in less than a week; something funky must be going on. Last week was pretty uneventful, after my last update with actual substance. Jessica (samari76) has a pretty full schedule, that being primarily work and class, so not a whole hell of a lot … Read the rest

So apparently being blind now means being liberal?
News to me, but apparently, that’s the thing to do up in here. So says this email I received, one in a long list of them debating whether or not entire school buildings should be redesigned because, ZOMG, outside distractions can interfere with classroom work. James, I am glad you … Read the rest

And sometimes, drama gives me moments like this.
While discussing the questionable actions of certain questionable people over IM last night, one of us came up with perhaps the most expressive form of wtf and frustration I’ve heard in like ever. “Oh, Jesus Christ almighty on Satan’s pogo stick.” I LOLed. Hard. Never let it be said that … Read the rest

Still around. I think.
Figured I’d break away from tradition a little bit and go *less* than a week since a fairly semi-successful string of updates before starting into the next one. Now hopefully the next one isn’t a week or six after this update. All that really ended up happening since Saturday was … Read the rest

And now an actual update. Yay substance!
Not that a whole lot really went on since the last time I posted something that wasn’t a link, but y’know. Jessica (samari76) and I are still finding plenty of ways to have all kinds of good times over here. Tuesday it involved a tiny little sellebration here … Read the rest

No, Twitter, don’t sell out!
Don’t get me wrong, I love my google, and I’m just now starting to love my twitter. But I don’t think I could get to love the idea of twitter.google.com or something. I’m all about supporting the newcomer to the field. You turned down being bought out by facebook, and … Read the rest

Morons. They walk among us.
And some of them, well okay, a lot of them, occupy cells in a jail near you. But I never really and truely believed people could be quite this brainless. A UK prison, probably like most prisons in Canada/the US, doesn’t allow innmates to have cell phones. So when … Read the rest

My girlfriend is awesome. And, the job market may suck slightly less today.
Or maybe not, but work with me here, dammit. Jessica (samari76) just kicked the royal shit out of her latest test, but I’ll let her tell whoever she pleases all the gory details of that one. And in slightly more w00t style news, I can has repeat job … Read the rest

Still alive, or at least breathing.
As anyone who’s been following the previously linked twitter page knows, I made it to Rochester in one piece on Friday. Got in at about 12:30 or quarter to 1 saturday morning, and pretty much hung out around here for a couple hours talking. We caught a few hours’ sleep, … Read the rest
