Essentials for the unpacking stage:
determine which of your neighbors have unsecured wireless networks; mooch off such connections until your own internet service is set up
use your accumulated Shoppers Drug Mart Optimum points to get $75 off your purchase of necessary household items, particularly those used for cleaning and organizing
make liberal use of your electronically stored [...]
Could I have picked a worse day for moving? Actually, I could have done it a day later and dealt with the snow that’s now blanketing everything a week before May. But still, the constant rain while loading and unloading a moving van and the crappy weather for driving on the 401 meant [...]
I’m on something of a role with packing right now, so I’ll update on my adventures in Sudbury next time.
At least part of my wireless issues from last week are due to a dying wireless card in my laptop. It got to the point that whenever it connected to a wireless network (it was [...]
I found a use for this pile of CD-RWs I’ve had for the longest time. After a dim sum lunch with some folks from RIM I haven’t seen in a while, I’m trekking up, waaaay up, to Sudbury for a few days. The drive will be long and lonely, so to keep me [...]
Who schedules a concert on opening day of Revenge of the Sith? Well, apparently Rilo Kiley does, and in Toronto at The Opera House to boot. I was pissed off when I missed them the last time they were in the area. Dare I utter the heresy of contemplating going to the [...]

Once I get my camera back, I can take some real shots of my new toy. For more details than you could possibly want to know, check out this link for all the specs. (In a nod to Dean, you’ll [...]
It’s starting to sink in and there’s a touch of giddiness in the air — I should have my new car within the next couple of hours!
Where ‘you’ is ‘me’, unless you’re one of my roommates or potentially a stalker hanging out in my backyard.
Google Maps with satellite imagery is cool.
Exhale.
I’d hardly call my school workload heavy, but with everything else on top of that it’s been pretty hectic in these parts. And the 401 is my friend.
After classes and a squash match with Matt, I left for London on the Thursday night before the long weekend. Once in town I had to [...]
The DVD list is finally up! And after much updating since its last version.
I owe a few people a gander at this so they can borrow titles off me … just one of the many little tasks I can now take care of with only one exam remaining (next Monday) until the end of [...]
Well, my ass got handed to me on my survival analysis final. For a good 25% worth of the marks, I either left it blank or wrote some non-mark-worthy gibberish. You’d think I would have learned my lesson from the midterm. Actually, as bad as I thought that went, I ended up [...]
I don’t get it. Are all those people crowding St. Peter’s Square praying for him to live? Are they trying to deny him a chance to join the supposed god he’s been working for?
And aren’t there a bunch of people in Florida, and really around the world, who should be vocally demanding that [...]
