I seem to get a lot of requests for advice. And on a lot of different topics. Often things I know little to nothing about. Things I’ve been asked for my “expert” advice on in the last week alone include: statistical analysis relationships grammar copyright law directions fashion PowerPoint Photoshop website design costs authorship hockey […]
Disclaimer: Dan, you probably shouldn’t read this posting. I know you will, but you can’t say I didn’t warn you. The Scene: I’m walking down the street and see a toy shop and remember that there is something in said shop that I want to buy. I also notice that there are an insane number […]
After a crazy 9 hour workday where I had way too much actual thinking work to do and not nearly enough time in which to do it, which occurred after staying out until 2:30 a.m. at Shower Power at the Odyssey last night (which is always a good thing to do before a day when […]
Does anyone know of a good place in Vancouver to buy a wig that (a) is relatively inexpensive and (b) doesn’t look too cheap? Because, you know, it’s Halloween coming up. And I’m going to a Madonna concert next week. And wigs are fun. Photo credit: Miss Wendy in the Flickr Room with a Creative […]
For some unknown reason, I’ve been a wee bit enthralled with gum packages lately.

Due the election and my rising fear of being stuck with another Conservative* government, my blog has been filled with a lot of piss1 and vinegar2 lately. Plus, I’ve been sick and, thus, whiny. So I thought that today, you know, for a change of pace, I’d talk about some nice things. Happy things! Pretty […]
My throat hurts like a mofo. I was fine yesterday, but I woke up feeling like someone had taken sandpaper to my throat. I drank water. I drank tea. I drank more water. I even choked down some dreaded Buckley’s Mixture. I continued to drink water. I played a hockey game1. And I sucked on […]
Last week I was walking through Children’s Hospital and a little girl, maybe 2 or 3 years old was staring wide-eyed at my feet. She then pointed and yelled at the top of her little lungs: “LOOK!!! BOOTS!!!” “Yes,” her dad said, “The lady has on very nice boots.” Today, I was sitting in the […]
