Malcolm's Ramblings

I am now the owner of a Samsung Galaxy S3. For those of you that follow this blog, you’ll know that this decision has weighed heavily on me. This afternoon, I walked into Bell at the Rideau Shopping Centre, and was helped by a really nice guy that set me up with the phone. It Read more

I really enjoy writing short stories. It frustrates me to no end that there are stories on this site without an ending. I get a great deal of pride looking at the Dawn of the Decline short story I did for Barry, and I really want to do more of that but looking at the Read more

So, having gone to three geeky events this year, Ottawa ComicCon, Fan Expo Toronto, and Montreal ComicCon, will I be heading back to any of these next year? My experiences at each were very different, but I can say that it will all depend on where I am living. I probably won’t go far for Read more

I still haven’t purchased a new phone yet. I am hoping to go in this Friday to discuss things. I still haven’t settled on a purchase yet, and I hope that flexibility will stand me in good stead as I interact with the various companies available to purchase the service from. The Samsung Galaxy S3 Read more

So, I am currently going through a bit of a crisis of faith in terms of where I’m living and what I’m doing with my life. I am trying to figure out what I’m supposed to be doing. I’ve been sitting on the idea of working towards finding my purpose in life for years now. Read more

So, if you haven’t already read about my phone breaking, please go here: My Phone Died. I have been looking at the phones on the market, and giving them another once over. So far, it looks like I’ll end up purchasing the Samsung Galaxy S3. Even as I say it, I am shaking my head Read more

So recently, my friend and neighbor Tom and I went to Montreal for Montreal ComicCon. Our primary goal was to see Wil Wheaton, and despite it being kind of expensive to see one person, I am definitely glad I went. The first story I have to tell is the one where Tom and I were Read more

So, I am out of the 280’s in terms of my weight. I’ve been fluctuating all over the 270’s for the last month or so, getting as low as 273 pounds at one point. I am a bit higher than that today, but I’m doing well. My hope is that by the end of October Read more

So my Samsung Galaxy S (i9000m) has taken a lot of abuse, but has died. It won’t boot at all. It won’t even load the battery charging indicator. I tried to push stock firmware to it, and no luck. It is officially dead. I could get Bell to send it off for repair, at an Read more

So, I figure this is probably the easiest way to tell people that know me: I have met someone amazing. I’ve already talked about her on this blog. Her name is Annie, and I met her at science fiction speed dating at Fan Expo in Toronto. She and I have a lot in common, and Read more

So Canon announced the 6D at Photokina and while it was exactly what some of the most recent rumours had said it would be, it still took me by surprise. My initial reaction is “this camera doesn’t make any sense”, and it seems others agree with my sentiment. The Canon 6D comes out at an Read more
