T-7 Hours
In about seven hours time, I hop on an airplane to Ottawa. Why? Well, my sister’s there. And apparently they’ve got some great museums. And we’ll be making a side trip to Montreal — where, I am told, I must crawl up the stairs of St. Joseph’s Oratory, and dress up really nice if I…

Welcome Back
tweek.is-a-geek.com? Old and busted. ryansteele.ca is the new hotness. The death of my old Linux box accelerated my plans to switch to WordPress and get a better domain name.

Mute City
I was approached by a couple of former coworkers a few months ago about setting up a website. They wanted to do a webcomic, loosely based on their lives, in a similar vein as Penny Arcade. I said sure, sounds like fun. After much designing, emailing, redesigning, and cursing at CorelDraw, I give you… Mute…

Brought to you by the letters “Boing” and “Boing”
One of my all-time favorite movies, Spaceballs, is being turned into an animated series. Also, a goofy spoof of the Rocky training montage. (Via boingboing.net. Truly a directory of wonderful things.)
Got any book recommendations?
