My Shopping List
Sometime quite awhile ago, Tamara bought me the book The Secret. I ended up buying the movie on iTunes and watching it. It really came across as being somewhat “new age”-ish but at the same time, it also fell in line with a few things I had been thinking about already. Sitting in a hotel … Continue reading
Wanting it to be more than just…
Update: January 3rd, 2017 I found myself laying in the tub the other night (yes I have baths. It’s relaxing and helps me think) and after I dropped one of the bath balms into the water, I watched as it fizzed and began to dissolve. In a way, I started thinking about that ball of … Continue reading
I wasn’t really a “hacker” per ce
My friend Paul asked me if I could help him rip some CDs he’s had laying around. He didn’t have a CD drive as those are hard to come by these days. Having an old laptop laying around, I offered to do the ripping for him. So here I am, in my kitchen at the table, … Continue reading
An Awesome Early Christmas Gift
Tamara decided that since she got an early Christmas gift from me, she’d return the favour. She gave me this a few days ago and man, it is awesome. As you may recall, in August of last year, I went to see Faith No More in Toronto. I chronicled the concert here where I told the … Continue reading
A Plea to Harmony Gold
If you’re not a fan of Robotech, or don’t know anything about it, skip this post. It won’t hold much meaning for you. Please stop. Seriously. Please stop now and put your energy into something that fans actually want. We don’t want yet another re-issue of the soundtrack. We don’t want another re-issue of the … Continue reading

A couple of months back, I had an incident during my mother-in-laws birthday party that had me visiting the hospital for kidney stones. I tell you, I’ve never experienced pain like that ever in my life. It was bad. Thankfully the folks at the hospital took good care of me and before you know it, … Continue reading
Air Canada Is Not That Bad, Your Attitude Is
It’s been over 10 years since I started travelling on a regular basis for work. It’s been about the last 4-5 that I have been doing it a lot. It’s to the point now where air travel is a no brainer for me and I have my own little system of getting to and from … Continue reading
Dear Wil & Felicia
In just over a week, I’ll be in LA delivering a class. As luck would have it, while I am there, Felicia Day (FD) is doing a book signing and speaking engagement with her good friend Wil Wheaton. As soon as I realized it was happening the week I was in LA, I bought tickets … Continue reading
My Big Bang Theory Taping Experience
On March 1st, 2016, I had the opportunity to sit and watch a taping of the CBS television program The Big Bang Theory. It’s my favourite show on TV right now and so getting the chance to see it taped live was a real dream come true. Here I recount the tale of how it … Continue reading
My Bilingualism Comment From Facebook
A friend of mine posted something on Facebook about how she wasn’t going to enroll her kids in French immersion as she felt it was a bad idea for her kids. It led to a long thread of comments debating the value of French here in NB. For me, I agreed completely with her take … Continue reading
