Weight Loss

I've been, for the what seems like ages, attempting to lose weight with intermittent success. I try try to run regularly, but I don't always have the time. As far as eating right is concerned, I fair well during the week but succumbed to temptation come

Allergies

I had to come home early today on account of my allergies. It was pretty unbearable. I took something for them this morning but it doesn’t always work—especially on a day like today (33 °C with poor air quality). I was able to get a few things done

Parking Again

I parked my car in the lot of much frustration this morning (see my earlier post). This time I’m not taking any chances: all my change and valuables are now out of site. I’ll let you know what happens when I return later today. Update: The car was

A Smashing Day

There's nothing like returning home on the subway only to find your car, which you carefully parked in the morning, has been broken into. It's even better when you cut yourself on the broken glass from the passenger window that was smashed in order to steal

Free time? Pffft!

The secret to looking busy at work is to actually have plenty of things to do. It's something that, over the last month, I have perfected to a fine art. Not too busy, mind you, to get a haircut this evening and fiddle some more with the website

Lunch and Cranky Old People

So another day at work and another lunch bought from Dominion. It was a splendid lunch indeed: tuna sandwich, leafy salad, potato salad, and pineapple for dessert. If anyone is in the Yonge and Eglinton area, I highly recommend the salad bar. The experience though was marred by a rather

Jedi Night In Training

You definitely have to see these video clips. Some poor kid made this at school and someone posted it to the internet. Waxy.org has set up a donation to buy him an iPod. I recommend they get him some martial arts lessons so he can start kicking some ass

Subway Stress

Monday morning was particularly unpleasant. While on the train and leaving Sherbourne station, I saw a woman pass out while walking along the platform. She didn't fall anywhere near the tracks but instead slid slowly down against the station wall she was using to steady herself. I couldn&

No Smoking

During my brief stay in Taiwan, I got the impression they had a different attitude towards copyright. I found this sign in an ellevator and just had to take a picture. I’m not sure what the phone number was for. Maybe it’s for calling the Smokebusters ©?

Most Played

I am definitely a big fan of iTunes, the MP3 player for from Apple. I especially love how it tracks information about your songs, like how many times each song has been played. From this nifty collection of data you can make some pretty satisfying play lists that tell you
