Here We Go Again: More Photos II

Today I have posted another 16 photos on my Flickr account. In a previous post, I explained the project. With over 3,000 photos. That is not a typo. I am still looking at EVERY SINGLE one and picking the best, but I should be done in the next few days. The response from friends has […]

Update on Dad II

A number of you have written asking for the latest update on dad. On the plus side, he’s definitely doing better. There is no question of that. He is also definitely not cured. I’d love to tell you he’s in remission, but he isn’t. However the news he got was good news. Only one mass […]

Here We Go Again: More Photos

Today I have posted another 18 photos on my Flickr account. In a previous post, I said that I sent all my photos and negatives in to be digitized. These come from the second batch that was returned. There are some priceless photos in here, and they are making me happy and sad and sentimental […]

Why I am a Geek, or Things I Do For Fun

I am a geek: a proud, card-carrying member of the Geeky People of the World. I’d tell you that many of my friends are just as geeky, but that might offend some of them. So I’ll let them come out of the closet*, as it were on their own. I do the usual stuff that […]

Wherefore art thou Eric J. Hedlund?

So, every now and again I like to check up on my “missing” friends — you know the people you lost contact with, but you wish you hadn’t. I guess it’s sort of nostalgic. There aren’t that many that I’ve lost touch with that I wish I could reconnect with, but there are a few. […]

HD-DVD versus Blu-Ray: Strike One

Ah, the video wars: HD-DVD versus Blu-Ray. I’ve been a champion of Blu-Ray for a number of reasons, and now it looks like the first real step towards a “winner” has been made. Blockbuster is going to go Blu-Ray. I favour Blu-Ray because it’s a better viewing experience, it stores a larger amount of data […]

Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer

Right, this will be a short review. I saw it. I laughed, sometimes when I probably shouldn’t jave. But I was entertained at least. No better or no worse than the previous installment. The Silver Surfer graphics were Fantastic (heh) and their take on the character was less than faithful, but I enjoyed it — […]

Keenan Florida Panthers Why

I monitor my blog’s traffic to see what draws people in (see previous post) and it’s mostly uninteresting except in a statistical sort of way. However, this Google hit from earlier today made me laugh: “ keenan florida panthers why“ I can’t stand Keenan because I think he’s a prick. I don’t have much nice […]

Harry Potter: Snape kills Voldemort? And the return of Dumbledore

I monitor my blog’s traffic regularly. Don’t be alarmed. While I could see where you all come from, what you’re looking for, and all that good stuff, I just don’t care to spend the time. I look at a few stats: 1. Keywords, 2. Country of Origin, and 3. Browser & Platform. I mention this […]

Knocked Up, Ocean’s Thirteen, Surf’s Up.

This post contains not one, not two, but THREE movie reviews. I am confident some of my reader base can handle three things at once. It’s nice to know my vote counts, too. If you get Entertainment Weekly magazine, they have the Critical Mass section where critics from around the country have their reviews posted […]
