Client Work Struggles
I sometimes wish I never agreed to do client work. Adding additional hours on to my day each evening isn’t very fun, and the work I get to do isn’t always fulfilling. The reason I continued doing client work once I got a job with the County was to make…

Big Music Fest Owen Sound 2010
Rant section: There was one thing that disappointed me more than anything else about Big Music Fest Owen Sound: no cameras. On the website, it explicitly said that no cameras or recording devices were allowed, and when we arrived, there was also a big sign, but this time it said…

This Weekend: Movie and Music
Sabine is coming to my place tonight and we are going to go see the new Twilight movie: Eclipse. I am hoping for some decent action sequences to keep me awake, and I am sure Sabine is looking forward to action in concert with romance. Then tomorrow, we are heading…

Heroscape: More Fun at Lunch
So yesterday I talked about playing foosball at work during lunches at work, but another thing we do from time to time is play Heroscape. This is a newer addition to lunches, since one of my co-workers owns a big set of it, and I was willing to play. My…

iPhone 4th Generation: I’ll Buy One
