I’m not usually into this sort of thing, but this is really, really funny. Basically some dude re-recorded the sound of a Santata performance. And we all know he’s an amazing guitar player…yet Santana Shreds. Or check the other ones out too…Van Halen one is good but only until the rest of the band comes [...]
I was going for a walk with Neptune, so I took the five dollar bill from my wallet and put it in my pocket (I never know if she’ll want some cookies from the bakery…or if I’ll want them). During my walk I’d had my hands in my pockets, and I always fidget with whatever’s [...]
If you’ve not been up Acadie before, then you haven’t seen what Krief calls “The Wall Of Shame.” The street is lined with a tall gated fence and shrubs, which was basically built to keep the riff-raff from Park-Ex out of the Town of Mont Royal. Bullcrap aside, sometimes I take Neptune beyond the fence [...]
I try to be environmentally conscious. Really, I do. When we moved and had to buy appliances, we bought all of the most enegry efficient ones we could afford. We put in flourescent bulbs in almost every room, and installed all new programmable thermostats to keep our energy usage down. We updated our windows and [...]
In a pathetic attempt to perhaps legitimise this blog, I entered it into the 2008 SXSW Interactive Weblog Awards. Oh, god. The pressure I put on myself…now I’m all self-conscious. Here’s the criteria they (I don’t even know who “they” are!) judge on:
* Visual Design: The appearance of the site. The eye-candy. Is it graphically [...]
This is kind of old news, but Canada’s Prime Minister Stephen Harper plans to create a government-run media centre. What an enormous wuss: be a man and deal with the people that you are supposed to be leading! Apparently this is how they handle it in the US: only certain journalists are invited to certain [...]
Murray and I were randomly watching some show on Star TV called “Making It.” It followed two artists on their way to last year’s Juno Awards. We had to watch it; not out of civic duty but because it was part train wreck, part brutal mirror. They were making the same steps we had made [...]
Check this out. A trashed CD-R was sitting in a neigbouring laneway for like two weeks. Every time I walked by I was like: “Oh, it’s still there. I’ll get a picture later.” And later came and went, or there were too many people waiting at the bus stop who would be freaked out by [...]
I stopped for a bottle of water which made me miss my bus. Walking around this area, along des Pins towards the McGill campus, I realise how little I miss my university years. They were alcohol filled days of loneliness and searching that had fun moments and painful ones, too. Eating alone at a restaurant, [...]
I feel like I’m always ranting about Toronto; maybe I’m just trying to figure out what drives the city, what disparate forces are at play. I grew up there but moved away when I was 18, before I’d had a chance to really get into it. Now when I go back to visit family or [...]
