  Dawn of the Decline: Page One

  Jean Luc Picard walked slowly through the decks. The crew seemed rather jovial, still celebrating their recent victory against the Borg earlier in the year.

  Choices

  If you had the choice to flip a coin and heads meant you could have any single super power you wanted, and tails meant you died, would you flip the coin? Update: Would best two out of three change your mind?

  OPPW: Week Four – 297.0lbs

  Canada Day in Brockville

  Despite a great invitation from some friends, I’m spending Canada Day alone. While it isn’t one of the big holidays, going down and taking pictures of the festivities definitely felt really lonely. I kind of wish I was around family this weekend. I went down to Blockhouse Island early this…

  OPPW: Week Three – 298.0lbs

  So while I’m sitting here drinking some Sprite and enjoying a slice of pizza, I’m still pretty happy with how my week went. I ended up getting a fair bit of exercise and sun, eating pretty decently, and getting back on track for drinking low or zero calorie drinks. I…

  Tiny Homes Revisited

  So, I’ve still been keeping track of the Tiny Homes movement, but as I’m sure you are all well aware, I haven’t made the leap yet. (my apartment is just too cheap) As I’ve been browsing the web, I’ve been thinking about things more, adding more details, saving images, documents,…
