Gather 'round children. I got a story for you. Or at least a simplified version of events.

Once upon a time, there was an organization up here above the 49th Parallel. This organization was called the CRTC. The CRTC was in charge of looking after and regulating all things telecommunication -- TV, radio, and even the internet.

Procrastinating at work can occasionally lead to interesting findings. Or at least interesting websites and neat ideas. Observe:



From January 15th to February 15th you’re going to be getting rid of one thing every day from your kitchen, closet, computer room, bedroom, car, work. Anywhere that is accumulating clutter and things you don’t need. The ( Read more... )

My History Prof came in to class the other day and asked us all how we'd feel if he were to just wipe our last paper off the syllabus, and redistribute the marks over everything else we've done. This motion passed unanimously. This means I only have two papers -- three, if you count my assessment response -- and my final exams to worry about until ( Read more... )

(I have to finish it today as I'm taking tomorrow off to go be irresponsible with a couple friends. This is not as large a task as it might seem; I've ( Read more... )

AND THE CROWD GOES APESHIT.
