Arrrrr, maties! Ye lubbers best not be forgetting that today, September 19, is Talk Like a Pirate Day.

Apologies to anyone who tried to visit my site over the past couple days. The web server has been in small pieces all over my floor. In fact, it’s still in small pieces all over my floor, but now there are some new, faster pieces, and they are all connected together. The hard disks, video…

Well, I just got back from the Great Canadian Beer Festival. Well, when I say “got back”, I mean, I’m at Mark’s house. Is this sounding familiar yet?

Three weeks ago I flew to Edmonton. A week ago I came back. On Friday the odometer in my car rolled over to 200,000 km. Tomorrow it will be September. Time steadfastly refuses to go backwards. What happened to the summer? I’ve started a couple blog entries over the past few weeks but ended up…

This time, that something was karaoke at Soprano’s with Graham and a bunch of his…

If you vote for the Conservatives, STEPHEN HARPER WILL SHOOT YOU IN THE FACE.
