what it takes to be number one

October 12th, 2006 · No Comments

A couple of weekends ago, Dena and I were watching Thank You For Smoking (good movie, BTW) and in one scene, Aaron Eckert’s character is helping his son write an essay on the topic of “why is the US government the greatest government in the world?”. Of course, Dena (Team USA) and myself (Team [...]

wouldn’t be prudent

September 11th, 2006 · No Comments

I won’t be part of the trend of commenting on or throwing in my two cents about the five-year anniversary of the September 11th terrorist attack in the States. Not gonna do it. “Nah gah dah”. Sit back and watch the television networks, newspapers, and websites battle with each other over who [...]

vote!

January 23rd, 2006 · 1 Comment

Today’s the day. Vote in the federal election! We live in a democracy and it’s your duty to do so.

‘no’ on bill c-60

July 19th, 2005 · No Comments

Hopefully the House of Commons doesn’t vote Bill C-60 in its current form into existence. If that happens, cached pages on search engines like Google and Yahoo! would become illegal. Even the Internet Archive’s thoroughly entertaining Wayback Machine would be illegal. What’s next? Storing cached pages and images from web [...]

i h8 summer

July 2nd, 2005 · No Comments

Happy 138th birthday to the kewlest country on the planet!

Also, happy birthday to Chico! Seeing as he appointed me as his best man for when he marries Mel next October, it makes sense that I can embarass him a little. Now I don’t want to say that Chico is old, but let’s just [...]
