Po-po takes the Pole Position?

June 19, 2006

This sneaky member of Winnipeg’s finest was hiding out on Grant near Shaftesbury and was spotted last week while I was on my way out of town with Heather for a fun filled weekend in Brandon. It’s dirty pool if you ask me for a Winnipeg Police Officer to hide like that while running radar. [...]

Firefox ain’t so foxy with Java

June 18, 2006

It seems that when I’m using Firefox on pages that use lots of JavaScript, for example blogger.com or Google’s Analytics, the performance of Firefox has been less than stellar. The less than inspiring performance of Firefox, well lets face it’s downright poor to shitty at times, seems to have cropped up somewhere from versions 1.5.0.0 [...]

RIP George

June 9, 2006

I’m saddened to say that George had passed away this morning. George, and his pal Reggie, were out in Brandon with my parents while I was in the process of selling my condo and building a new house with Heather. It was tough giving them up for even a few months. George’s recent thyroid problem [...]

The Marriage Horror Stories

May 31, 2006

It seems that since Heather and I were engaged that many a married person out there feels the need to stress me out over my choice. “Life’s over eh?” [yes we say "eh" in Canada], or “Pretty soon you won’t be making those choices”. Aside from the cynical comments I have to say my big [...]

The Da Vinci Code Movie Runs a Little Stale

May 22, 2006

Stale is the only way I can describe what must be one of the most highly anticipated movies of the year. Like the producers have said bad reviews won’t hurt the opening, at least not for those of us that have read the book. I feel sorry for those viewers that have gone into this [...]

Redemption for CTV … kind of

May 18, 2006

  OK, it looks like CTV has redeemed themselves slightly by showing me the tail end of Music Survivor [AKA American Idol for those of you who aren't in theDemetricircle of trust]. I missed most of the show but they didn’t cut off the performance at the end like they normally do. What a great [...]

CTV denies my Idol Fix!

May 18, 2006

Ok so I’ve been quoted many times saying that I don’t watch much TV, in fact I’ve said many a time that “I don’t watch reality TV. If you want reality just step outside”. I’ve always found shows like Survivor a little annoying let alone a show like “American Idol”. What a stupid recording company [...]

Oh Rona how I love thee, let me count the ways

April 20, 2006

  You let me return an item without a receipt … an item I didn’t even buy from you. You still carry birch hardwood flooring. It’s easy to find someone to get help. I went to Home Depot tonight to return some baseboards and a birch hardwood flooring transition piece that I had purchased a [...]

Demolition Man

April 9, 2006

I started taking down tiles in my shower so that I could replace some damaged drywall and install a tub surround. I was pretty dainty with the project to start with, I was carefully prying off tiles and placing them gently to the side not wanting to damage the tub and to preserve the old [...]
