  • The Kitchen Geek

    My coworker Jim just went online with his new weblog. He’s exploring the relationship between his two loves: cookery and geekery. His latest article, for example, is on hacking hamburgers.

  • On Internet Identity

    It’s kinda like moving out of your house and not being able to leave a forwarding address. And while the new tenant is probably an honest guy who wouldn’t ordinarily open someone else’s mail, everything is written on a postcard. He’s already started reading it before he realizes that it was not meant for him.

  • Let’s Stay Together

    Had a great weekend. G-Rob had been here since Wednesday, and then on Friday Reeg came into town.

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

  • Comox, Scrabble, Bonfire, Guitar

    Had a good long weekend. Went back to the ‘mox to visit the ‘rents and the ‘riends. Helped dredge the well, whack the weeds, and move the TV. Had a mocha at the Komoux Grind and got beaten at scrabble by Tara. (I demand a rematch!) I’m jealous of Reeg and Tara and Tracy. They’re…

    I am FORCING myself to write in my blog. It is stagnating. People won’t want to come here if there’s never anything to read. Not that many would want to come here anyways. All that I write about is boring stuff. Like, how I hurt my foot jogging on Wednesday and had a tensor bandage…

  • A Night in Nanaimo

    Last night I went to Nanaimo with my bandmates in Jay Dunphy and the Religion to play a show at The Cambie.

  • Jay Dunphy at the Cambie in Nanaimo

    Another gig poster. This one’s for the show at the Cambie in Nanaimo. Note the evolution of the logo from the previous version. I accomplished the chrome effect using this method. As always, comments and constructive criticism are welcome.

Got any book recommendations?
