A word of warning: Do not attempt to add a whipping motion when swatting a bug. I decided to do exactly that, because I wanted to come down fast so it wouldn't crawl away. I grabbed a kleenex and came down hard, with a whip, in time with the music (for extra power). Not only did I miss the little bastard because of my unorthodox swatting style, ( Read more... )

I was trying to fix my nub. The "clit-mouse" in the middle of my laptop keyboard. My cursor keeps drifting down and right, so I was pulling it up and left. I managed to pull it right off. At the same time, I was listening to some version of the Super Mario Bros theme on YouTube. What would you do? Just stick it back on? Not me. Without ( Read more... )

Ever heard of geo-caching? You get the coordinates of a "cache", take a GPS device, and go find it. For us, the caches were peanut butter jars. This was a work "team-building" (read: work-avoiding) exercise and Christmas party put together by Pierre-Yves and Sylvain. They hid 5 caches in le parc de la Gatineau, each one of them with the ( Read more... )

It must be seal hunt time again, because I just got a weepy video on my Facebook Funwall (now deleted) about how we should all save the seals and ban this "barbaric" practice. This sort of message is always accompanied by a picture of a baby seal that OHMYGOD SO CUUUUUTE!!! I would like to see this sort of campaign raised to save an ugly species ( Read more... )

Know what rocks? Making about 750 mL of fudge when you live by yourself. Trust me, this is a good idea.

I just noticed that the Google ad on my blog is an NHL ad. I know Google bases their ads on the content of the page. So I'm proud of myself for talking enough hockey to make Google know I care. Now I'm wondering if I can mess with the ads... or get them to display a product I want.... make anime girls real make anime girls real make anime girls ( Read more... )

I bought a little thermometer and decided to see how hot it is in here. I've been complaining about the heat pretty much non-stop. I now know that it is 26 degrees in the kitchen and 30 degrees on my desk. 30 degrees celsius. Inside. This is why I've been sleeping naked with the window open in November. There's actually snow out there now. ( Read more... )

I don't care what Google says. I don't care what Tom says. There is no paintball place there. It is a lie. The map tells the tale of where I went. Thanks to James for the directions from the black dot. At least it's pretty biking along the river at night. Although it is kinda dark, so it's hard to see where I'm going....

There is no such ( Read more... )

I'm only a couple weeks late getting these up.

I'm not too sure where I was.
There is a lake.
I'd hate to lose a ball in there.
Once I actually found the park, it's a pretty place.
Good thing there's a sign.
Buildings by the water on the Gatineau side. That odd line is part of a boat statue.

It's been one month since I started annoying my ISP with uploads. In 31 days, I've pumped out an estimated 40.1 GB. Back with Shaw, they said they expected a customer to upload 2 GB in a month. Still no phone call. But I won't give up yet!
