The chain of events goes something like this:
1) Brad and his family travel to the fine (but chilly) city of Calgary to visit with a handful of folks (of to whom they happen to be related) who choose to live there for some reason, and also to attend a performance of Cirque du Soleil. [...]

Well, as promised, the big announcement you’ve all been waiting for!  Not only were there multiple people who got it right, but there were exactly THREE people who guessed correctly that the only completely true statement was Statement #3 — and guessed that prior to the FIRST DAY MIDNIGHT DEADLINE as per the rules. [...]

Call it retroactive boredom. One day — I don’t remember when — a couple years back I was bored. Does that set the stage? I must have been typing odd conversions into Google, calculating the number of hours in a year, or the number of minutes in a decade. It was that [...]

Oddly enough, nearly three years after I launched it, the Buggyland project I created on a whim and a lark has come back to visit. (And by visit I simply mean that someone found it and contacted me for clarification on something I wrote — even though it was satirical.) For those who’s never [...]

The new X-Files movie comes out in a few days. And while this wouldn’t normally be a topic I discuss out on the blog, a few people have been privy to the info that Derek made an appearance as an extra. I suppose it’s as good as it gets when you’re a techie, but [...]

Message reads: There are precisely four focus patterns for this particular iteration of the inversion construct. Please be patient while these patterns are assimilated into the output buffer for review.

If you don’t understand the title, let me elaborate by saying that it’s my half-birthday today. Thirty-one point five. How insignificant. But I am marking the non-occasion with a version one-point-five release of a photography project I’ve been sporadically working on over the past six (give or take) years.
Little did I know [...]

Do I smell a tasty new family tradition? Mmm…. Pie. You know you want a piece.

Every day I get up early in the morning and drive to work amongst the hoards of trucks migrating to the oil-fueled town where my non-oil-related job is located.
Every day I watch out my window as heavy equipment destined for some none-too-distant rig is shuttled around or between various industrial production yards.
Every day I sit [...]

I hear now is the time to invest in American real-estate. Not only is the exchange rate great, but the property market is in something of a slump. If anyone wants to go halves on a bit of land in Washington, there is a pretty sweet deal on eBay right now. Click here.

I’m learning.
Six days in, I’m starting to figure this all out.
I suppose there have been a lot of people coming here looking for more information on the exact details of the birth. I suppose that you have all been reloading the site hoping that I’ll post something to tell you the story of the new [...]

Get this. Strange coincidence, or what? This morning the US dollar and the Canadian dollar were equal for the first time in nearly thirty-one years. The last time that happened (again, about thirty-one years ago) was November 1976. I’m nearly thirty-one years old. In fact, I was born in November 1976. [...]
