41. You know it makes things hard for me.

It is a couple days before the start of September. I don’t know how many days it is before the start of September.  I cannot be any more precise regarding the change of months beyond a general couple of days, give or take a day or two.  The passing of time has all at once [...]

Halifax Elections, 2008

I’m in love with this image that was sent to me recently.  It really is a call to citizens of Halifax Regional Municipality to think twice before they vote in the Fall 2008 Municipal Election.  Note that the first image is a .jpg rendering of the original .pdf which follows:
[Original Mayor Peter Kelly Bowl Cut [...]

39. One Pack To Rule Them All.

September is just around the corner, and I’m thinking of getting a new backpack.
I’ve been using satchels for some time now.  I’ve never been keen on the “backpack look” – that is, image of the student of any age with a tonne of books bulging out of their upper back.  It is just not elegant [...]

38. rapture machine

evidently, i haven’t yet completely mastered yahoo pipes. apologies for all the double-posts in your feeds.

37. library mitch

so i’m venturing out in the “web 2.0″ world once more by signing up for librarything.com. I nearly signed up for it a year and a half ago, but I backed out at the last minute after a small email conversation with its founder.  Given that librarything’s servers are located in the USA, their data [...]

jeremy hinzman, returned

So the CBC has reported that Jeremy Hinzman is headed back to the States; the website’s “comments” feature is awash with crazies on both sides arguing nonsense like “no nation wants a deserter” or that Canada was developed on the backs of refugees so he appeals should be granted immediately. Both have their merits, [...]

35. killing time

Here’s another one playing on the idea of time and the manner in which its effaced. I mentioned yesterday, you might recall, that my time this past week had been eaten up by work. Sometimes our time is swept up by activities, while at other times, time languishes (or is even left [...]

34. blended

the past six days have been a blended series of contracts and papers and jobs eating up my time (*). I’ve been stuck in a serious rut of  “get up in the morning, do one thing for one pay, then do another for another pay, oh my god its 8pm!” routine.  the money’s okay, for [...]

33. Caffeinated Hazy Mornings.

le sigh. here’s a list of stuff to consider.
1. i’ve had five nightmares in the past six nights.  this is rather odd, since i hardly remember my dreams, let alone wake up from them.  Several have involved zombies at war with other zombies, fighting for the soul (and brains) of mankind.
2. there is a mess [...]
