Be careful when asking citizens caught in the economic crisis how to fix the economy.
You may wake up one morning and see an answer like this in your morning paper. Dear Mr. President, Please find below my suggestion for fixing America’s economy. Instead of giving billions of dollars to companies that will squander the money on lavish parties and unearned bonuses, use the following … Read the rest

Do we need our own Obama?
After having a quick read at this article about the bank of Canada cutting their interest rate yet again, and all the various… well, shall we say whining that goes about in the comments to it, it sort of left me wondering what the situation would be like on this … Read the rest

We got your snakes on a plane right here.
Probably the headline title that went through someone’s head after getting the initial report of 4 pythons that managed to escape containment aboard a flight in Australia. Now, sure, they might have been babies, but come on. How many people just sat there right now and said “Yep, saw that … Read the rest

General updatey goodness, this time from Ottawa! Yay!
Still managed to update in less than a week; something funky must be going on. Last week was pretty uneventful, after my last update with actual substance. Jessica (samari76) has a pretty full schedule, that being primarily work and class, so not a whole hell of a lot … Read the rest

Things I learned that manage to surprise me.
In list format, because lazy is me. Microsoft can, in fact, make a program that doesn’t die horribly when you try to add something extra to it. They just don’t do it very often. Clearly, some people’s definition of accessibility is far different from mine. This is why we have … Read the rest

Things I notice when I’m not quite paying attention.
So I caught wind of a hockey game being on tonight, and seeing as I’m not home, I figured… hey, they usually get more of the channels the game’s broadcast on. So I flipped around to the usual channels, and… nothing. Complete, dead, silence. Of course, there might have been … Read the rest

Tax time: the era of secrets and surprises.
And I see no reason for this year to be different. Jessica (samari76) asked me what I was doing last night, because while I was talking to her and Gina (nightdrake), I was also busy plugging away at the computer. At first, I thought about just … Read the rest
