Hello there, everyone.I'm writing this proposal in hopes of having a new holiday created. I'm not talking about one where you get a day off from work or anything (though banks and government services will anyhow), nor am I proposing anything that is a thinly veiled vote-grab (I'm looking at you, Family Day). No, I'm proposing a day that encourages us to step hack for a second and think "Hey,

I originally posted this on my Facebook.So I forgot tonight was the big Haiti relief effort. I turned on the CBC because I watch Jeopardy! at 7:30 every night. There was the telethon. The usual string of celebrity sound and video bites streamed by. The usual musical interludes. The usual discussion with politicians. There were interviews with doctors in Haiti. There were interviews with people

So, where was I?

2009-11-02T10:40:00.001-05:00

Hey there. So last Thursday I had my surgery to repair my eye, and it was, for the most part, a success. On Wednesday Elaine's parents took us to dinner in Toronto then dropped us off at the Super 8 at Dundas and Spadina. Surprisingly really nice hotel, considering there were about 5 fishmongers within view of our room. Couldn't smell them, at least. Oh, yeah. On the car ride to the city I

Hey everyone, So my surgery's on Thursday. It seems like no time has passed since I was given the date, Oct. 29th. It was 42 days away then and now we're at two. I'm not sure where the time went, but I think it went somewhere good. I go for the procedure at noon on Thursday. I'm not sure how long the surgery takes but it's apparently routine. How routine this type of eye surgery (or eye surgery

Hello kids. Anyone who reads this probably already knows (except the #forum-m people…hello!), but my saga of not being able to see beyond a flickering haze is nearly over. Mid-October I've got to get an ultrasound on my eye, then at the end of the month I'll have the (hopefully) final surgery. I've already gone over the procedure in earlier posts, so I won't elaborate on that part. I'm just

Oh, hi there.

2009-07-27T13:51:00.001-04:00

so knock on wood, kids, the end is near. A few weeks ago I went to the surgeon to get an update on my eye's condition. Rather than the customary flashing of lights in my eye and mumbling that I'd have to come back in another few months, I finally got some (somewhat) concrete answers. I am going to have a final surgery to remove the oil bubble that's in the eye, and an implant will be...

Quick update. We left London a while ago, and hit Brighton on Saturday to see Ross. Great times. We had a few pints, we ate English food (better than I thought it'd be), walked down by the sea. Brighton is very much like San Francisco, for many reasons. We moved on from there to Salisbury, which is the closest town to Stonehenge. They've got a cathedral there too, where we saw an original copy of

Almost a full year since I came up with the idea of the Coin Roll Cable Holder Thing I put the idea up on Instructables and lo and behold, the idea gets noticed. It's strange seeing yourself on another blog somewhere, and realizing that people actually like your idea. It's a weird feeling, especially when it's on one of the sites that I frequent (Lifehacker, by way of Apartment Therapy). It's

Munn-dane Writing: In Defense of EB Games/GameStop

2007-02-03T21:34:00.000-05:00

I was hovering around digg and unfortunately came across this article from Aeropause. Titled "Hey GameStop! Stop Opening My New Games!", this whine-laden fiasco written by one James Munn is aimed at GameStop's policy of opening new games (hence the informative title). As lots of people know, GameStop is now the majority owner of EB Games, even those here in Canada. Since we have the same

Quick post:A few weeks ago I saw an article online (probably via digg or thebbps) about an EB Games employee who did a test to gauge the popularity of the Wii against the Playstation 3. The test was based on phone calls, as far as I remember. For each call about either system they'd mark down points for each, and came up with a quite large number in favour of the Wii. decided to do this test

So it's been pretty well two months since I last posted. I figured tonight would be a good time to put up something new, since I won't be putting anything up again for a while. Tomorrow I will have my hands on the Wii, and my interest in putting anything up on here will significantly drop...at least until I finish Zelda. These last few weeks working at a game store have been very...something.

Like you really want to hear about my life, what I buy, and how awesome I am. Oh well, here goes. In my absence, I've left home after the Christmas break, finished up work at the Farm Service and hooked myself up with a gig at

Do you want scratch insurance for three dollars?

Another test post from this new thing I found on Photobucket. Me and my elitist lanyard, for I work at EB!

Don't give me any shit, I've been busy for the past week. As promised in the last post! I don't really know what to tell you about my religious beliefs. I don't have many, per se, but what I do have is interest in them. For example, I do believe that at one point over 2000 years ago, Jesus lived and died. Somehow I can't argue that. There's too much evidence of his existance, his being has

This title is profound.

2005-01-06T22:16:00.000-05:00

Tomorrow, I promise. I had the drive to write, but I've lost it. Give thanks to MSN for that, and my unwillingness to ever use the Busy status. In tomorrow's post: Religion! The Da Vinci Code! The Two Saints of my scholastic future! Pomp with little circumstance! And quite possibly, dinosaurs.

"Ayah," right? That's how you say it?

2004-12-30T14:48:00.000-05:00

I'm going to be back tomorrow with a post (promise). First, though, I'd like to introduce you to Maho. She's so cute, eh? She's got some pretty decent specs too. And so SHINY! Oh, and she's named after one of the main characters in Beck. This is Maho, from Beck: She rocks it like a roll lizard. Well, back in 24h. Moment of Zen: 17 is ok...17 is ok...17 is ok...

So, I'm laughing fairly hard right now. I was just skimming the Blogger main page and found that most of the staff's posts are either blowing hot air up the asses of Bloggers whose egos are already inflated past max, or promoting books that teach you how to Blog better. I mean, of course Blogger/Google is a company, and they're out to get the money of the lesser-minded (who, curiously, think

Just look at that...

Could this be me? If I get into Film, potentially! Hooray! (no moment of zen just yet. wait a bit.)

Well it's been a right long time since I've posted anything worthwhile...well, I haven't posted anything worthwhile since the inception of this blog, but I digress. Life continues on, albeit at the most boring pace imaginable. Gaming is dull, since I've beat most of what I own, and the ones I'm stuck in bore me. I still don't have a job, and I'm not going to get into that. A girlfriend'd be nice

I can't close my eyes and make it go away...

The drive for a Christmas iPod has begun, so upon the fridge I've posted this: iPod, Lovely iPod by Daniel Berger, Esq. (with help from Bono) sung to the tune of U2's "Sunday, Bloody Sunday" I saw on the internet today, Daniel wants the U2 iPod Christmas Day How long, How long can he play the songs? The battery life is very lon-o-o-ong ‘Cause that night, He can upload them all, Thaaat

Today I will craft a story using images! However, they're images of text, so you're still going to have to read. Isn't that exciting? The following pictures are from IRC today. Sometimes you're privy to some of the funniest articles...and then there are the times when things aren't so grand. I love it far too much, but for what reason I really don't know. Oh, and there they all seem to think

As clumsy as you've been, there's no one laughing

2004-11-16T01:37:00.000-05:00

I think I'm miserable. You know that feeling when you've got a pair of headphones with one scratchy speaker? Where one channel is crystal clear and the other sounds like a Tim Hortons drive-through with faulty wiring? You're sitting there knowing that something good is going on, that being your favourite song, for example, and it would make you happy...if it weren't distorted and mangled. Not

Quick post that wouldn't fit in the chatterbox: Sean, you seem to think my post is an attack on you, when it's not. My blog is here so I can hone my writing skills, something very important to me. In that respect, I don't see the problem in the expressing of - god forbid - my complaints, no, my musings, on current events. I knew full well that what I wrote would get a rise out of some people,

Hibernate, eh?

2004-11-12T15:51:00.000-05:00

My computer and I are at odds. She sees winter coming and, not unlike a woodland bear curling up into a fuzzy 400-pound man-killer, she enters hibernate mode. The difference is that a bear would be roused out of sleep by an irate human being yelling obscenities at it, where Nemu just sits complacently and does nothing. And though it is tempting to bring out a firearm in this case, you wouldn't

So, Bush won. Good for him. Don't expect any praise for him from my side of the border, much less from me. I had this elaborate plan to take a shitpile of people to the Niagara River, brandishing Canadian flags and flipping off the States in silence. After a bit of deliberation, I decided that doing so would be a waste of time and would accomplish nothing. What can we really do? Oh sure, we can

A while back I said I'd talk about my favourite Firefox extensions, which I'll attempt to do today. If you don't have Firefox, you're a retard. It is so hilariously superior to Internet Explorer that Billy Gates is probably crapping his gold-weaved drawers thanks to it. Anyhow, here's an image of my Firefox window, mind you that all this stuff isn't usually open at the same time, it's just open

So it's official, I'm a retard. I was having problems with the links in my blog, so I sent an email to Blogger support outlining my problem. Turns out when you're adding a link, the address prefix of "http://" proves helpful. I'll keep this in mind. Aside from shows like Unscrewed and The Screen Savers, G4techTV really doesn't have the most impressive programming, especially in Canada. Now it's

Hooray! Contempt!

My thoughts on the majority of the blogging community exactly: And with that, my latest post! My feet are cold, I have no job, and somewhere a dead mouse rots in our vents! I'll be back later with something real. Moment of Zen: Megatokyo vs. Something Awful: Nerd battle of the century!

Big, poofy, and stupid.

Mouse Wars: Episode V - the Verminpire Strikes Back. The goddamn mice have returned. The second known mouse eliminated one a few days ago, and while the Humans' victory was a Death Star 1-style success, it was inevitable that the Verminpire would regroup and attack at the Bipedal remote base on Hoth. While Human forces aim to retailiate, and will do so with great swiftness, they need to

Exciting Zamboni action!

2004-10-08T01:30:00.000-04:00

Well children, I've returned. Granted, I'm later than I proposed two days ago, but you know, I feel that I've become a better person in the span between these posts, and really, isn't growing what it's all about? I'm sure that if I could figure out what "it" is, my argument would be far more relevant, but for now, I'll just stop and let you bask in how smart I am. My PlayStation 2 is dead. Seems

Heading out to Picton today to help out film a secret show for the History Channel/Television. Should be fun. I should really get my crap together, back tomorrow night. P.S. Kevin Rose is a darn hip fellow. Moment of Zen: Who would of thought there would be so many De Zutters in Belgium?

Our roommate, Jay-Bird, is on thin fucking ice with us this day. Normally it's just a matter of overlooking his small faults: bathing in cologne, leaving little bits of toilet paper on the counter that he uses when he cuts himself shaving, and leaving salmon tins out on the kitchen table. Believe me when I say that it's taken quite a while to get used to these seemingly unchangable habits. None

It's been a right honking long while since I last posted drivel of any sort of real length. I suppose I should have at it, since I'm in the mood for writing at this very moment - no doubt a phenomenon that's soon to change. I still don't have a job, but who honestly didn't see that coming? I almost got a job, though, at a telemarketing place. In theory it would've been the greatest place to work

Sweet Jesus, moving is a hassle. Three other fucking people in my house and the day that my landlord needs one person to be there no one is. It's such a fucking farce. I'm at home right now gathering my router so we can all enjoy the internet in Thorold, and the other guys took last night to get shitfaced and this morning to get hungover and go other places. For fuck's sake, now I have to drive

Hark! An update! Yeah. So since the last post I've done a fair share of things: saw Rush, hit CNAnime, packed my stuff, left for "school." I quote school because I'm not really at school, I'm just taking up space in the computer lab right now. Let's hear it for academic probation, or as I like to say, acacdemnation. I don't really like to say that, as it is rather awkwards anyhow. Rush was

I'm back. We have a freezer, which will be nice, as it can store many a cadaver pizza. We also have mice. Bah, that's all for tonight, I'm not too keen on writing and I've got some Disgaea to catch up on. Oh, and before I go, there was silly discussion about Evolution vs. Creationism in IRC, which made me think of this song (which has more to do with modern man and the skewed American Dream

Sour before...
