The Internet’s leading authority on radicalized geese
Beware: There will be spoilers! One of the things I’ve been doing while on vacation at my sister’s place is catching up on movies that I haven’t watched because I’ve been dedicating all my time to school in the last two years ((My nephew’s most frequent requests are “the baby eyeball monster movie” (i.e., Monsters […] →Read more
As you are probably aware, I’m a huge nerd. One of the manifestations of my nerdery is a love of spreadsheets ((See: my previous blog posting.)), ((One of my big pet peeves is people not knowing how to use Excel. And I’m not talking about using advanced features of Excel, but just the basic stuff […] →Read more
Hey, remember that time I finished all my classes for my MBA ((Assuming I passed my Business Ethics exam. Knock on wood.))? Did you ever wonder what all those classes I took were? Lucky for you, I have a spreadsheet! I did some colour coding, because everything is better with colour coding. Dark purple is […] →Read more
A long, long time in a galaxy far, far away ((This is one of those postings that was in my Drafts folder, as just a title, that I mentioned in my last blog posting.)), I asked Twitter what blender I should buy ((My ex owned a blender when we moved in together and my magic […] →Read more

When I was young, my Aunt Wendy would come over to […] →Read more
My niece has an aquatic African dwarf frog, just like my fraggle of frogs. She used to have two frogs, Bob and Rick, but Bob passed away and now there is only Rick. This is Rick: Isn’t he adorable? Last night, after everyone else had gone to bed, I was watching Rick – I’m worried […] →Read more
So Heather just told me about the Men of Curling calendar and suggested that it might be relevant to my interests. Not the curling part – I totally don’t understand how people watch curling – but the men in a calendar part. So I was all excited to check it out… and then I got […] →Read more
So, as it turns out, it’s pretty challenging to come up with four new blog posting ideas per day, especially when you are trying to think of ideas that can make for short but interesting postings. I have a few ideas for more involved postings, but during the past few days I’ve been working on […] →Read more
Why is it that every time an online service tries to make an “improvement”, they make their service worse? Case in point: Flickr. I’ve used Flickr for years store my photos and then use their handy dandy embed code to embed photos here on my blog. In fact, Flickr is one of the few online […] →Read more
