The trouble with newspapers
So, I read this interesting article this week. It was published in a New Brunswick paper and after reading it, I sort of shook my head. That fact is, I can’t get into any details about the article, or really even link to it without opening up the possibility of getting myself into trouble but … Continue reading
How do you retain your digital world?
I was reading an article on Slashdot today which really got me to thinking. Until about 10 years ago, everything you did to “record” events in your life was stored either on cassette, videotape, or good old fashion film cameras. As far as film was considered, all you did was develop the photograph and you … Continue reading
The second time my birthday has bothered me
I can’t really recall the details of why it bothered me, but just that it did. Turning 24 back in December of 1997 for some reason really bothered me. I think part of it probably had to do with the fact that I was in my mid-twenties and had not really gone too far with … Continue reading
Have I been missing out?
Yesterday was a rough day. It’s very hard to explain without going into some long diatribe about feeling sorry for myself, but the end result was the same. I felt like crap at the end of the day. I’ve had these days on and off just like everyone does. But last night Tamara poked and … Continue reading
History in the making
Although this is not much of a rant, I filed it under rants since this is a bit more out of my topic range than normal. Today, big things are happening in the United States. They are voting for a new president today and many people around the world are paying very close attention to … Continue reading
My ongoing battle with an American collection agency
When I moved from Poughkeepsie, NY back to Moncton in 2000, I admit that I skipped out on my last cable and power bills. If I ever end up back there I may be in a little bit of trouble but the amounts were very small. If anything, the two bills were less than $200. … Continue reading
Who's going to raise my son?
Typically I leave posts about Dylan off this site and place them on his, but this is more a rant and rave about the Canadian government than specifically about Dylan. Yesterday, I was reading the regular daily news and I read an article about how a 12 year old girl in Quebec who was grounded … Continue reading
Early immersion be damned!
Folks, for the past few months, I have been reading, listening, and watching on TV (occasionally) the controversy surrounding the NB government’s decision to pull the plug on early French immersion in public schools. People have been freaking out saying that it’s horrible because it’s too hard for kids to learn the second language later, … Continue reading
Lots of things to gripe about
Ok, so let’s start. Yesterday I caught something on the news about in North Vancouver, they want to ban drive thru’s at restaurants because of the potential damage it is doing to the environment via idling cars. Seriously? WTF has this world come to? I mean what’s next, banning red lights and stop signs? That’s … Continue reading
15 cm my ass
I’m going to go on a little rant… First off, FIFTEEN CENTIMETERS MY ASS!!!! People were all uptight about their being a half foot of snow outside and what do we find? A little sprinkle on the ground. WTF is with the weatherman. I really wonder where the hell these guys get off trying to … Continue reading
