In which I do absolutely nothing profound for 12/12/12 12:12.
So If you’re a nerd, kinda like me, you find today’s date somewhat amusing. I suppose the same thing goes for if you follow any one of the 80 million people who officially declared today “international sound check day”. So here’s the thing. In honour of today, and to celebrate … Read the rest

Why I should probably give up on Simply Hired.
Shortly after I lost my job at Dell, I jumped on to every job advertising bandwagon going. Canada’s Job Bank. Indeed. Eluta. Hell, even Kijiji. They used to land me quite a few halfway decent interviews. In recent months, though, at least some of them have gone quite down-hill. … Read the rest

Rob Ford is an idiot, the left half of Toronto’s got a hate on, and other asorded goodness.
What we have here is a random thinggy. Because random thinggies are good. Even if done at half past odd while coming off a weekend spent in Pembroke with a machine that could use a couple replacement components. And even if done by a guy who apparently wouldn’t know what … Read the rest

things that make you say hmmm.
I would mock this, but I’m not entirely sure how. Or if it would even be effective. Oct 8 5:49pm: odsp rat. bastard Guessing somebody doesn’t have a very high opinion of the folks running ODSP? Or people on ODSP? Or both? Hey, I can relate to that first one. … Read the rest

Because your week is not complete without one of these.
I’m not entirely sure what this person was hitting at when it dropped them here, but… Oct 1 6:31pm: old folks saying about being loose … I sincerely hope you found it, pal. I also hope it’s not going to turn into another one of those endless streams of searches … Read the rest

This unholy mess brought to you by odd hours, and where the hell’s my caffeine?
Here I go blowing it on the not blogging thing again. I coulda swore I had a reminder pasted around here somewhere to prevent it–unless Lacey ate it when I wasn’t looking. Speaking of Lacey, and we were, goddammit, she’s fitting in just fine over here. Had to reinforce a … Read the rest

Hey random guy I don’t know, want some chocolate? … Hey wait–come back!
I get some of the strangest people when I decide to actually go somewhere. There’s the old guys at the Mcdonalds, with an opinion on just about everything–and a few things that didn’t even exist yet. There’s the random old lady on the bus, absolutely convinced that May … Read the rest

Another satisfied Bell customer?
Sometimes, people end up dropping by here expressing thoughts that would almost be right out of my head. Some of them have even splattered all over the site a time or six. So this search query should surprise, uh, absolutely no one. Sep 25 8:33am: fuck bell canada blog Yes, … Read the rest

In which Time Warner does the one thing the borg never could.
Only after reading a Techdirt article could I come up with a title like that. Of course it may also have something to do with the fact the caffeine isn’t doing what it used to, but we’ll pretend that doesn’t enter the picture. Time Warner is well known for service … Read the rest

The google is reading my mind again.
I know, I know, I gotta stop with the posting of really freakin’ old search terms. But this is what happens when I haven’t done this in, let’s say, a small age and 3 quarters. At least this one isn’t ODSP related. Take the small comfort already. Jun 12 7:24pm: … Read the rest
