This weekend my wife Lindsay and I went to the spa in Moose Jaw for a getaway to celebrate our recently achieved first wedding anniversary. Just prior to departing for Saskatoon on Sunday, I pulled into a 7-11 for snacks and gas. I cursed a little at the price of gas – 119.9 cents/litre where [...]

Yeah it was on digg and it even appeared in the New York Post but I even saw something about it on the news up here in Canada. Ken Jennings, the super-ultra-mega biggest winner of Jeopardy! that there ever was and ever will be, the alpha and omega of gameshow winners, has apparently presented a [...]

Well, I’ve done it. I got an iPod. I have wanted an mp3 player for some time now but haven’t been able to justify the expense – especially for a real iPod. Why pay so much money just to be trendy? Anyway, my wife gets these points at work and we were able to redeem [...]
