Dear Joss,
You suck. You suck because of Firefly. As many Sci-Fi fans will eagerly attest, there have been precious few original and truly awe-inspiring universes created in Science Fiction. Some notable examples include the original Star Wars ( even though it was quite obviously inspired by early works such as Flash Gordon ), Star Trek [...]

Yesterday Lindsay and I finished the last of our Christmas shopping. Our last top was at CD Plus to grab some DVDs and we found some pretty good ones in the bargain bin. Encino Man, Clue, Run Lola Run and a movie I have wanted on DVD for some time. See if you can identify [...]

OR Saskatoon Is Full Of Assholes and Idiots
So yeah, winter has fully arrived in Saskatoon. Again. Unfortunately, this city is populated by assholes and idiots. We had a week of very nice weather: clear streets, warm days, no frost in the mornings. In this week, however, all of the idiots in this damn city forgot [...]

As somewhat of an addendum to the previous post, here’s a list of The 14 Worst Corporate Evildoers. How does this relate to the last post? Well it doesn’t, at least not directly. The aforementioned Linux Zealots are terribly fond of talking about how evil Microsoft is and I thought it might be nice [...]

Once again it seems that someone in Linux-land is missing the point. Linus Torvalds, the original writer of the Linux operating system, is now encouraging users to use the KDE desktop environment because Gnome is developed by "interface nazis"who spend too much time targeting "dumb users". Personally, I think that these developers of Gnome are [...]

Okay, I’ll be the first to admit it: I worked for nearly two years as a telemarketer. My wife currently does ( business-to-business only though, so she’s not interrupting your dinner… ). I happen to think that it is a perfectly fine way to make a living – if you have the stomach for it. [...]

Sony/BMG (SNE-N) has today unveiled what it hopes will be the final word in the controversy surrounding the numerous security issues raised by the DRM cum rootkit used on several compact discs released by the label. Trouble continued to follow the company as security holes were discovered in the patch released to resolve the initial [...]

Work sucks today. A couple of days ago I finished work on a large project and now I am sitting waiting for the DAU ( DumbAss User ) who requested it to get off his ass and test the thing. Of course when it was requested it was the highest of high priorities, but now [...]

It was sometime last week. My mother was sick and she went to see the doctor because she just wasn’t getting better. Her doctor sent her to a clinic to have some x-rays done. So far, so good. A few days later she receives a call from the x-ray clinic. The woman on the phone [...]

For the longest time I wouldn’t start the day without reading the articles on Slashdot. Hell, at my last job I would check on new articles every hour on the hour. Recently, however, I have spent a lot more time reading the articles on Digg. Why? There are a few reasons. Number one is the [...]
