What's the point having a blog if you can't rant the first thing in the morning?

• October 23, 2006

So I’m driving to work this morning down 14th Street. Ahead of me is a dark blue or purple Hyundai Accent. In about as good shape as any Hyundai Accent ever truly is. And I’m amazed with just how long the driver can go without hitting his or her brakes. Amazingly long - we’re talking miles and miles here, not just a few blocks. Down a hill no less. I’d sure hate to be that transmission.

Ratsofrass....

Lister Sinclair passed away this morning. CBC coverage here. Many a night when I was in University was spent listening to Ideas while I was working late. One of the shows I definitely continue to love and not listen to nearly enough. Thanks for the inspiration, dear friend. I hope I die learning like you. Read More

Talking 'bout my Generation

• October 6, 2006

People try to put us down Everytime we come to t-t-town Who? WHO! Okay, first and foremost, I better say that I was going in with a bias. In my world, it was Pete Townshend and some other guys on stage. But I’ll tell you, that Dolltree guy is pretty good, they should keep him. I’ve heard quite a bit of criticism of how it wouldn’t be the same without Entwistle or Moon.

The follies of HP

• September 13, 2006

Almost half my life ago, I tried to come up with a code of morality that I would choose to try to live by. Somedays I do better than others. But like the Thirteen Virutes of Benjamin Franklin, they serve as a guide to all I do. Frankly, had I known Franklin’s ideas (heavy reading alert) earlier I would have saved myself the trouble. I decided the four cornerstones of my life was to be honourable, trustworthy, as equitable as possible, and respectful towards others.

Oooh, I’m all a-tingly. The Royal Mail in Great Britain are releasing stamps with Beatles Album covers. I have no idea just how I’m going to contain myself. Sadly, they won’t be producing any stamps with the the White Album. Read More

The ultimate blog

• September 11, 2006
