Yesterday’s posting got me thinking about a blog posting that’s been kicking around in my brain for quite some time, but that I’ve never gotten around to writing. Here, in no particular order, are some of my favourite lyrics (I think you will sense a theme): From “What’s My Age Again” by Blink 182: Then […]
Apparently, at least according to the radio station I listen to most, no one will admit to liking Nickelback1, but yet somehow their songs always do really well. Well, I’m here to admit to a dirty little secret. I like Nickelback. With the notable exceptions of Rockstar2 and Photograph3. Here’s their latest song, Something in […]
It seems like everyone I know is having a baby. My cousin, Andy, and his wife, Cristine, just had their second a few weeks ago. My cousin, Lori, and her husband, Eugene, are expecting their second any day now (theirs was due Nov 8). My good friend (and resident historian), Sarah, and her hubby, Dave, […]
Over on Dave’s blog, he put up a screenshot of some of his favourite Tweets. Always one to steal Dave’s ideas recognize a good thing, I’m stealing Dave’s idea going to show you some of my favourite tweets:

I generally like to start my Christmas shopping around Dec 23. Living across the country from my family means that I can’t really do that, so I generally do my shopping around Dec 18, buying everything in one frantic day and then praying to the FSM that Canada Post will deliver in time for Christmas.

As you may be aware, I went to Madonna’s concert at BC Place last night. After much discussion about what to wear, my friends and I had decided that wigs are the new black – we would wear jeans, nice shoes, nice tops and wigs. Really, I just like any excuse to wear a wig. […]
I was named after this song: [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbtO_Ayjw0M] [polldaddy poll=1024813] Geek neophyte question: Does anyone know how to make that poll centred? Right now I have <p style=”text-align:center;”>POLL CODE</p>, which is how I have the YouTube video centred, but it doesn’t appear to actually make the poll centred =( Update: Via Twitter, Raincoaster suggested trying <div […]
