The Move is Complete

The big move was last weekend and it went surprisingly well, despite my fretting and stressing out. It didn't take as long as I thought (about an hour). This is of course due to the help of some friends from work (thanks Tara and Nadine!). Naturally, I forgot

Sinha Stout

I’m definitely a stout fan, which is pretty obvious since all may favourites fall into that category and Sinha Stout is no exception. Also know as Lion Stout, Sinha Stout (and this is straight from the label on the bottle because it’s bang on) has “a blend of

The Apartment

All this talk of beer made me completely forget to write about this: I’m moving. Come May 1st (well slightly earlier, but that’s the official date) I’ll be living in the Yonge and Eglinton area. I’ve toughed it out in the wilds of Scarborough long enough

Innis & Gunn - Oak Aged Beer

So I found another gem: Innis & Gunn – Oak Aged Beer. Very nice flavoured beer in a particularly handsome bottle (not that I have anything against cans). The beer is aged for 30 days in hand selected oak barrels and then for a further 47 days in a marrying tun,

Belle-Vue Kriek

Here's another gem, for those who like their beers a bit fruity: Belle-Vue Kriek. A very nice Belgian fruit Lambic made with cherries with a rich dark-red colour.

Dragon Stout

I'm not a heavy drinker by any means, but I do occasionally like to stock up on a few beers for the weekend. Typically, I buy a 4 pack of Guinness. Other times, like this past weekend, I put together a sampler pack and this week I discovered

iMac and iPod refresh

For information on how to refresh or reset your iPod, have a look at this Apple Support article: iPod 5 Rs Assistant. I’ve had my swivel head 17” iMac for over 4 years now and it was time for an upgrade. Same thing for my old iPod, which I

A Somewhat Painful Delay

So inevitably, the move-in date for my condo has been delayed. The last update I had was that it would be ready sometime in the fall of 2006. Not too bad really, since the target was originally June. Of course, these things are complicated and I just received a letter

A New Title, A New Year

So this year at work started off well. Last December I was offered a new position in the same department and I took it. I've been in the same group/doing the same thing for about 5 years and I definitely needed a change. So far things are

A Mario Kart DS throw down, of sorts

I bought a Nintendo DS a few weeks ago and I have to say, I do enjoy. So now that I've got Mario Kart fever, it's time to impart some wifi mayhem by sharing my friend code. So here it is: 335 067 202 436 Now

Support KEXP

I've been listening to KEXPs live broadcast over the Internet for almost 3 years now. A good portion of what's I've added to my personal music collection is all thanks to KEXPs excellent and diverse programming. Since listening to KEXP I've discovered

Nine Inch Nails

I saw Nine Inch Nails at the Air Canada Centre last night for the first time in over 10 years. It was just as good as it was then. The last time I saw Nine Inch Nails was at Molson Park (long since gone) in 1994. It's the
