The Internet’s leading authority on radicalized geese
First they sent the assassins. Now they have sent the army. So yesterday after dinner, as I was tidying up before I left to go cat sitting, I reached into my recycling box to pick up some cans and plastic berry boxes to take outside when I saw something move. Something black. And huge. And […] →Read more
How, exactly, is it the end of August? Like, seriously, people, it feels like we *just* started to get warm weather, work hasn’t slowed down one iota, and I haven’t had any summer holidays yet. WTF? And fall is *just* around the corner! I’m teaching my course at UBC again this fall ((my third year […] →Read more
So, as I’m sure I’ve never mentioned on here before, I love data. I used the Runkeeper app to track my running data, the Sleep Cycle app to track my sleeping data and (the now open source) wesabe to track my money data.

So, remember how I was looking for a no fee chequing account for paying off my students loans and it was a great big pain in the butt to find and eventually I decided to open up a President’s Choice Financial chequing account? Well, would you believe that ING Direct, with whom I already have […] →Read more
Apparently me trying to have a life and make myself even more important at work ((because we already know I’m tres important but one can never be too rich, thin, or indispensable at work)) are not conducive to having any time to write blog postings! I’m trying frantically to finish a draft of a big […] →Read more
I *would* have written a real blog posting today, but Kalev came over for dinner and we had too much fun chatting and cooking and now I’m too sleepy to write anything of any substance. I was going to post a picture of the dinner, which consisted of Greek salad and Pad Thai ((I know, […] →Read more
