Geoff's Star Letter

A Canadian voice from down in Utah speaks up on the same-sex issue. Former officemate and Applied Mathie Geoff had his well-written letter to the editor published in today’s Toronto Star (see link in title above). Now if only he displayed the same inclusiveness and tolerance for my so-called “defection” to the world [...]

Recent Readings

I’ve been in an odd reading situation recently: picking up books depending on my mood and rotating through a number of titles at once. At one point I had a stack of seven different books I was well into, but I’ve hit a new phase where I’m finishing titles in bunches.

Last night I completed [...]

If The Poo Fits …

A mention in the latest Harper’s Weekly:

German police were searching for the those responsible for sticking miniature American flags into thousands of piles of dog excrement in public parks over the last year.

Click the link in this entry’s title to read more from an actual news article. Sorry, couldn’t find one with pictures.

You Polled Yourself?

You’ll have to speak up, I’m wearing a towell!

Eh, just a random quote from my recently completed viewings of season five Simpsons episodes.

Anyway, November blog entries have been copied over. Highlights include a trip to Ottawa and going to see a Kevin Smith show. I also have to point out this entry just [...]

From Cold Mountain to Just Plain Cold

Well, at least I didn’t have to shovel it.

I was in London this weekend when the big snowstorm hit, which dumped a good 20+ cm of snow from Friday night to Saturday. Good thing we had the snow blower! Actually, I really didn’t have to deal with the worst of things, as I [...]

Dark Potato of the Sith

Look at this, just in time for my birthday! Introducing, Darth Tater.

Children will be able to “have all kinds of mix n’ match, Mr. Potato Head fun with this wacky spud dressed as the infamous `Star Wars’ villain, Darth Vader.”

Pffft, forget the children, think of all the excitement for us grown-up geeks!

Cartoons Promoting Homosexuality

Those wacky conservative Christian groups are at it again. Tolerance and diversity … but don’t cross their ignorant “moral lines”. See link above.

Geek All The Way

The dance is tomorrow. She’s a cheerleader, you’ve seen Star Wars 27 times. You do the math.

I just couldn’t resist, and I finished off the last four episodes of Freaks and Geeks last night. What an awesome show, I can’t believe I missed it when it originally aired back in ‘99-’00. I’ve heard [...]

Blog Migration Begins

I’ve started the process of transfering entries from my old blog to this new system. A number of December posts and the lone January one are now housed here. I plan on leaving them as they are, with no editing except for possibly updating links or minor layout changes. I’ll gradually get [...]

Almost There

Things are progressively coming along here. I worked on the site’s template over the holidays, and am fairly satisfied. Some of the color shades look different on my CRT than my laptop’s display, so I might have some more tinkering to do. Since I’m so horrible when it comes to colors, feel [...]

Assignment: How Did You Spend Your Holidays?

So, I never really got around to updating what I was doing while on holidays. Yes, there was some squirrel activity at my parents’ place, but some humane handling of that situation by a qualified individual seems to have solved the problem. I was actually kinda hoping we’d have to go up to [...]
