Goodbye, Harold Ramis
I was sad to hear that Harold Ramis died yesterday. Everyone is remembering him for all of the classic movies he was a part of as they should, but to me he’ll always be Moe Green from the early years of SCTV since I used to watch reruns of that show all the time. Those …
Lego: Print On!
This is a pretty cool concept. To all the people who say Braille printers can’t be made cheaper, I say here, have a real live working Lego Braille printer. Sure, for now it only does the letters a-z, but that’s one amazing start, and one smart kid. Plus, he’s making it open source, which means …
Kitchener, The Touchy Feely City
I have mentioned several times that the people in Kitchener have been super friendly and super helpful. But sometimes, my good lord, they can be a little too friendly. Here’s an example. I’ll be standing at the bus stop. The bus will arrive. But people are getting on and off, so I’m being caughtious. People …
Oh MiO My Oh Eeewwww
Now that I’ve written about the Enzyte hotel, I figured I’d write about another commercial, or couple of them, that I’ve meant to write about for months. Out of the blue, these commercials appeared for this Mio stuff. From the audio, I had no friggin idea what this stuff was, but it didn’t sound good. …
Now I Want A Beavertail!
We need to fix something. Steve’s never had a beavertail! … At which point tons of people think I’m actually talking about eating a beaver’s tail. No no no. There are these fried pastry things that look like a beaver’s tail. Since I grew up near Ottawa, our family would go to Ottawa a lot, …
The Enzyte Hotel?
Steve mentioned Trivago the other day, which reminded me that I wanted to write something about Trivago, have been meaning to for a while. When I first heard a Trivago commercial, I wasn’t paying attention. I heard its whistling song, and then a reference to finding a hotel. My first thought was complete shock. In …
Music Is A Feeling
Here’s something that Gill sent in last week, and I meant to put up, but didn’t get to it. I fail. Most people who know me well will tell you that I like the blues genre of music, but what they may or may not say is that I especially enjoy the earliest kind. Not …
Remembering The Last Time I Felt Cool Buying A CD
I don’t know if I’m simply feeling nostalgic or if this is all about the new Fratellis song I’ve been hearing, but lately I’ve been thinking about the last time I was actually excited about buying a CD. I remember it like it was yesterday, even though it was all the way back in 2007. …

One Of The Best Decisions Ever Made In A Filesharing Case
I haven’t covered the Voltage Pictures vs. TekSavvy and its customers you illegally downloaded our movies lawsuit here, which I regret since it’s kind of an important one in the sense that its outcome will go a long way towards establishing the market or lack thereof in Canada for the type of copyright trolling we’ve …
