The Internet’s leading authority on radicalized geese
My friend JB generously offered to let me post this picture in my blog posting on Amor de Cosmos, second Premier of British Columbia. Due to its sheer awesomeness, I figured that it deserves its own blog posting: Apparently kids were hired to play historical figures to entertain tourists at the Parliament Buildings in Victoria.

Saw this at a bus stop the other day: Let’s take a closer look: Doesn’t the “plus other fees” make the “$40” kind of meaningless? Why don’t they just say “$1 plus other fees”? That would be just as meaningful. How much are these other fees? For what are you paying these other fees? My […] →Read more
Oh, how I love my little Palm Pilot keyboard1. Here I am on the bus, traveling from work-related event #1 to work-related event #22, but writing a blog posting that I can upload from my beautiful Hermione when I get home tonight. Had my first real class yesterday – last week’s class was more of […] →Read more
Last night while staying up late to do some work, I noticed this cute little face staring in my kitchen window: (S)he’s much cuter without the glowing demon eyes, btw.

Last night’s game was an exhibition one, which we won despite a rather short bench1. The increased amount of ice time that comes along with […] →Read more
Tonight’s installment of my British Columbia premieral series brings us BC Premier#2 – a guy who was fond of representative government, but people of Chinese and First Nations descent, not so much. Oh yeah, and he legally changed his name to “Lover of the Universe.” Seriously. Name Amor de Cosmos (born: William Alexander Smith) Born: […] →Read more
100 days ago I decided to go on one of my crazy kicks where I try to blog at least once every day1. Previous attempts faltered at 88, 58 and a very, very pathetic 25 days, but this time I’ve somehow been able to keep at it and here I am, blogging my 100th day […] →Read more
I’ve been trying for a while to think of a good caption for a lolcat. I finally came up with one that really amuses me: For the uninitiated, lolcats are pictures of cats with captions in a form of broken English, called lolspeak. These pics are created by whoever is hit with the desire to […] →Read more
With all the political news about the Democratic National Convention, then the announcement of Sarah Palin as the McCain’s pick for VP, followed closely by the RNC, I want to make sure that this little piece of political news doesn’t slip by unnoticed: Foreign Affairs Minister Emerson set to retire: sources That’s right.
