Ok, so in a way, it’s not really a “Day-cation” because I’ve been on holiday all week. But in a way, it is, because we took today to do a nice little day trip out to Banff.
And it was great.
The mountains are beautiful this time of year. Driving out of the city and into the [...]
Ok, how hard could it be?
Post something, anything, at least once a day. It doesn’t have to be long, or thoughtful, or important. Just dump at least one idea a day in here.
Really, it shouldn’t be hard. It should just take some discipline.
Realistically, I have at least one thought per day I wouldn’t mind sharing [...]
Yah… My own damn fault, as I haven’t been updating the backend software.
Fortunately, I was smart enough to backup the database on a regular basis, so nothing really lost.
I’ll get a new theme up and running to “celebrate” the upgrade to the newer, more secure backend.
Oh, and I’ll get the video plugin working again too. [...]

Ok, I actually mounted the flag Saturday. It’ll stay up until Labour Day. Same drill every year: Flag goes up the weekend before Canada Day, and comes down on Labour Day.
Subtitle: Yes, I have way too much time and spare parts…
Now, you might think that, given the order of posts, the following project was inspired by the Conan Night I held last weekend, but the two are fairly unrelated. Actually, the inspiration for the following project came during the winter when I started to [...]

A few weeks back a friend and I got to talking about old movies we loved when we were kids. Eventually, the conversation turned to Conan the Barbarian, which I have in my video collection. One thing led to another, and I decided to do a bit of [...]
Subtitle: Now THESE Guys Have Way Too Much Time On Their Hands.
Hmmm… Looks like I completely skipped September, as far as posting here. Oh Well.
Anyway, some Ubergeeks in California have built a 21 Foot scale model of an X-Wing. Which wouldn’t be that big of a deal, really, because lots of geeks have [...]
Subtitle: Sharing a nice music find with my readers (both of you).
So, this weekend I finally got around to hooking up the old stereo and record player to one of my computers. Months and months ago, I’d acquired a very nice M Audio sound card, specifically with the purpose of hooking up the steroe [...]
Subtitle: “Artist” might be too strong a word…
If you read this blog a lot (all 3 of you out there), you might get the sense that I’m a bit nostalgic for “old stuff.” My ‘76 Impala wagon, the J2W2 Bus (which, I’m slowly bringing my wife around to thinking is a good idea), and [...]
This is kinda weird, and maybe writing about it will get it off my chest…
Normally, I don’t get nightmares. Well, at least not very often. And when I do, they’re usually about zombies. Yeah, I know. I watch too many zombie movies.
Thing about the zombie nightmares is that if they wake me [...]
