Functional exoskeleton. Looks crazy. I want one.
Guitar Hero 3… will it blend? That is the question.
The 10 wildest gamers you have EVER seen. Tetris and Mario impress me the most. I pooped myself while watching this.
My own gaming took a sudden turn for the better, followed by a decisive turn to the nonexistent, just a few hours ago. Our neighbors brought a projector over and we watched Little Miss Sunshine (hadn’t seen it in 6 months). I suggested he might let me keep the projector for the weekend, and upon his answering to the affirmative my 360 was immediately unpacked.

Not the Xbox Live Arcade game that I love so much… but the just-about-life-size model X-Wing.
I’m such a geek
Jan 26th
Tim picked up on my shameful geekyness. In my previous post, it was actually the “fire alarm” that went off. Not the “firewall alarm”…
Oh Gawd.

We have guests coming for dinner in about an hour, Maija was working in a new office today (temping) so she knew she’d be home a little later than usual. I left work early so as to be home in time to start preparing the food.
Maija had picked out a casserole from a book of casserole recipes. We endeavour to try something new each week, so tonight was Pumpkin Steak night. As bizarre as that title sounds, it’s actually a tasty sounding dish, involving steak cubes and pumpkin cooked for an hour and a half. Maija had given me detailed More >
Victorious Thaxton and others
Apr 10th
Is it just me or are spammers making a consciencious effort to become wittier? Because I’ve been getting a lot of seriously great spam lately.
Coming from names such as Victorious Thaxton, Forehead O. Alignment, Conjuring B. Cameo, Expressiveness H. Beeping, and my personal favourite, Hippopotamus I. Warrior.
I love it. I also love that XWall – our Microsoft Exchange supported spam filter – does a bang up job of keeping that spam in my Junk E-mail folder, and not in my Inbox.

Mike Livingston pointed out to me that each time he’s visited this website in the last week, there’s been trouble with Islam every day! Who knew! Mike Livingston had an interview for the Univeristy of Toronto MedSchool program. He’s a smart lad. Pray that he gets in.
Bethany Ventura got into the Ontario College of Art & Design (OCAD). She’s thrilled.
Jonathan Puddle paid off his VISAs, but got ripped off by dirty-rotten-turntable-swindlers. A tax refund, and one of two months in the year where I get paid three times both helped in the paying off trip to Finland, and purchasing turntables More >
Man arrested due to MySpace prank

Boys’ MySpace.com Prank Results in Arrest
Hilarious! I know this is old, but if you missed this news article, you seriously need to check it out. (This has been saved as a draft and I forgot to post it.)
The Internet Age: The Age of Sillyness
Feb 1st
I’ve been thinking lately how the internet seems to have brought a candidness to business that I don’t see paralleled elsewhere. It seems that the Age of the Internet has become in parts an Age of Sillyness. Especially when it comes to company names, identification, and other things involving names.
Companies like Google and Yahoo for instance. Two of the most influential companies online today, publicly traded and all. I can’t think right now of any companies before who have had such strange names and have not been niche market type companies. What about HotBot? That admittedly didn’t last long in More >
Parent skills

If you were alarmed upon reading that title, thinking Maija is pregnant, you are correct!
HA! I lied.
But to set the record straight, we have decided that the only thing stopping us from having children now is financial instability. We are both quite eager to put forth a family, so once I get me a serious cash-flowin’ job, and we pay off some debt, then you’ll know what to expect. Incidentally, if you’d particularly like to see us have children now, we figure $50k would be enough to pay off the various banks and international governments that hound us, and More >
