    I think I’m in love…

    I had never read Violent Acres’ writing before; I merely found that how to fight article thanks to a link from something else I found on Digg.com. I started reading more pieces there, and found the story of the Magic Ice Cream, which caused me to laugh in quite a violent manner. Brilliant.

    Stab, and twist, dear.

    Cutting through all the bullshit, an article on teaching a kid how to fight suggests one of the big problems with kids and the adults that they become. “I laced up my skates and headed out to face the jungle that is childhood. When the boys confronted me again, I dared them to mess with [...]

    There’s something wrong with Halifax

    by  • 11/25/2006 • Halifax, insanity, life • 0 Comments

    Well, maybe it’s not something that’s wrong with Halifax, but something that’s wrong with The West. I’ve been finding the people here to be nice, approachable, and kind to strangers. Strangers that they don’t have to be nice to; even going to the point of putting themselves out in order to accommodate said strangers. I [...]

    Craigslist Nigerian Scams

    by  • 11/3/2006 • insanity, life • 30 Comments

    I received two separate responses to my forsale post to Craigslist for my Lexmark Optra S 1625 printer. Good printer, just heavy to take cross country. I’m asking $200, which is a bargain considering that it has a toner cart that’s good for at least another 9000 pages; a cart that retails for about $400. [...]

    Reason #2 To Leave Vancouver

    by  • 11/3/2006 • insanity, life, Vancouver • 1 Comment

    My #1 reason to leave is to accept a good job offer, and reason the whole real estate issue gets bumped down to #2. There was a piece by Pieta Woolley in The Georgia Straight‘s October 26, 2006 issue that really sums things up well for me. I’m not sure that it’s really the government’s [...]

    Museum of Jurassic Technology

    One of the best places we saw, for the sheer oddity and diversity of stuff that they had on exhibit. From a bank of microscopes with glass slides holding tiny pictures created from individual scales from butterfly wings to rotten dice and a room dedicated to Napolean that didn’t seem to make much sense to [...]
