There are two sides in this war: me vs. me
On one side is the noble cause of me needing to earn a living. As you know, I’m a typist. My troops are my fingers, and by extension, arms, shoulders, upper back. My artillery consists of a keyboard, a mouse and a [...]

I live near a beach that is considered to be a surfer’s paradise. The dudes and dudettes come by the droves with their wet suits and surfer boards. Temperature is not an issue with these people.
Last Sunday was no exception. It was sunny and warm for February, and I happened to be there with a [...]

My best mate’s girlfriend is six months pregnant. She said to me “Do you want to feel the baby?” On reflection, I think she meant on the outside.

Awhile ago a survey found that Nirvana’s Nevermind album was the most overrated of all time. Here is the list. It comes from BBC Radio 6.

1. Nirvana – Nevermind
2. Coldplay – X&Y
3. The Libertines – The Libertines
4. Oasis – Definitely Maybe
5. U2 – The Joshua Tree
6. Radiohead – OK Computer
7. The Beatles – Sgt [...]

Ben is Canada’s answer to Ryan Seacrest. Ryan hosts American Idol. Ben hosts Canadian Idol.
But there is a difference: Ryan is funny, witty and genuine. Ben is shallow, sycophantic and slippery.
His insincere delivery was an embarrassment on the pre-Oscar red carpet. In response to some stupidism that fell out of his mouth, Oscar nominee [...]

Back in the 50s a man called Gräfenberg said he discovered the Holy Grail of female sexual pleasure. He modestly named that spot after himself: G-spot.
Then in the 1980s another man called Stewart said he proved the G-spot was a myth: G-spot not.
In 2008, yet another man called Jannini said that some women have [...]

I get the holster and the hook to attach it to my belt.
I get the fancy email address and the special passwords. I get the “cool” of behind a BlackBerry hipster.
And then I get something really funny.
A call.
I hadn’t been anticipating this. What do I do? There’s so many buttons and [...]

Update: In the left margin are some shots of the red moon taken from my back yard around 11:30. Click on any shot and it will take you to my flickr page.

It starts at 8:43 pm Eastern Time. That’s 9:43 pm where I am. The skies are clear and my camera is set up on [...]

… and it is Sonos.
I’ve had this wireless multi-room digital music system for a couple of years now. A handset and zone player give wireless access to the music stored on your computer.
You can make playlists, listen to local radio and access 300 free internet radio stations. You can also play different music in different [...]

Update: got the bling back
Did an update on my Wordpress yesterday, but I seem to have lost some of the bling in the sidebars. Most importantly, my blogroll.

I shut GT down last night to investigate a problem.
It was a cloaked injected iframe inserted into a post from December. It’s not a huge problem, but if these things are cloaked they are hard to spot. And when your eye is not entirely code-friendly, even harder. My excellent host Zipium helped me out.
The cloaked [...]

Are you choking on a diet of force-fed Valentines Day sentimentality?
Are you drowning in a tsunami of witless schmaltz that crashes over you every February 14th?
Are your teeth hurting from saccharine commercial pitches that fail to tug your heart strings?
Are you having disturbingly vivid fantasies about bludgeoning Hallmark cupids?
Do you scan dictionaries searching for a [...]
