  • Doctor Who Review

    I’ve been watching the new adventures of Doctor Who, and I must say, at first, I was a bit bored and annoyed with the show, but it quickly grew on me, until I made it to season 5. Matt Smith, the Eleventh Doctor, is not nearly charismatic enough to carry the show, especially compared to Read more

  • Cars, Cameras and Computer

    So, as many of you know, I’m planning on getting rid of my car. Friends of mine have decided to take it off my hands, and so I hope to get it to them before the end of May. From then on, I’ll be taking a cab to work once a week, and walking to Read more

  • Zenhabits Life Lessons

    This is a great read: 38 Life Lessons I’ve Learned in 38 Years Here’s one of the thirty-eight from the list: 2. Possessions are worse than worthless — they’re harmful. They add no value to your life, and cost you everything. Not just the money required to buy them, but the time and money spent Read more

  • Lack of Camera Equipment and Skill

    So today I decided to go to the 30th Annual Multicultural Community Festival in Brockville. I bought all of my camera equipment in hopes of taking some nice pictures, and after three hours, and three hundred pictures, I have to admit, I’m super frustrated. Not having the right camera equipment for the conditions I was Read more

  • I Hate Asides on Bueno

    This theme is Bueno, and I hate how it styles asides. WordPress has been slowly fixing other themes, but not this one, and that makes me sad. I could re-style it myself, but it would take too long because of how they currently have the CSS. Read more

  • Being Sick While Alone Sucks

    I’m a big baby when I’m sick, and I like to be taken care of… I don’t even have anyone to sing me “soft kitty”. Today, I’m under the weather. I blame whomever was sick during Easter. So today, I stayed home and slept most of the day. I answered some work e-mails, and started Read more

  • Future Tech: Right Again

    Two years ago on a science fiction blog I was running, I wrote a post entitled Future Idea: Computer Settings That Follow You, and today, I feel vindicated as a screenshot from the next version of Windows showed up, and it includes the essence of my idea in it. The next version of Windows will Read more

  • The Bloc Québécois Should Be Disolved

    I believe, hopefully like many Canadians, that the Bloc Québécois is a party that shouldn’t exist, and that it only continues to push forward a skewed government that doesn’t focus on the needs of all the people in this country. I think the Bloc Québécois should be disolved and its members compete for spots in Read more

  • My Perfect Job

    So someone recently asked me if my current job meets the needs and wants of my perfect job. Well, without divulging too many of the concessions made in order to have me stay at Charity Marketing Group, I’ll say: “mostly”. I will be able to get rid of my car in May. I will be Read more

  • New Job? Not So Fast…

    So, I’ve been crazy busy and stressed out lately. As some of you know, I was offered a job with United Way Ottawa. I was to be their Online Experience Officer. The position would have put me in a position where I was determining the content structure, growth, organization and publishing rules for the Ottawa Read more

  • Input Overload

    So the last few weeks, I’ve been super busy. Right now, I’m at the office, working away on an e-mail migration that I’ve been working on for the last two weeks. While a lot of it is babysitting the computers as they do their things, I’ve been super stressed, and doing a ton of research. Read more
