There is an absolute crap ton of math going on here that I 100 percent do not understand, but it’s nice to know that I have options as it relates to the disposal of my enemies. On The Fuel Efficiency of Launching My Enemies Into The Sun The biggest problem I face now is which …

Children Are Great When They Work
Tell me this isn’t every company meeting you’ve ever been stuck in. THE UX ON THIS SMALL CHILD IS TERRIBLE Diagnostics and Troubleshooting This Small Child has no clear sense of hierarchy in either the visual or navigational sense. When it comes to troubleshooting, it is nearly impossible to find the information you need quickly. …
Listen To The Universe, Maybe
10 of History’s Most Amazing Survival Stories I’m at least vaguely familiar with almost all of these thanks to history class and osmosis, but I don’t remember ever knowing that there was a nurse on the Titanic who wound up surviving three shipwrecks. Ship’s nurse and stewardess Violet Jessop lived through a trifecta of major …
Is That A Man?
In some ways, we haven’t come as far as we like to think we have on issues of race. It has proven, for instance, rather difficult to convince the police that refraining from murdering scads of black people is the right and honourable thing to do. But on the other hand, at least the days …

https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=2427794903931874&set=a.262824150428971&type=3 I was at the National Gallery with Naureen Nayyar. I tried this experiment by putting a pen on the floor.

I Bet This Doesn’t Work
I’ve had the WordPress app sitting on my phone literally for years and have never used it for anything, at least not anything I remember. So consider this me using it for something. Preferably for something that works. I’m not holding my breath. The damn thing already has me wanting to throw things. Admittedly my …

I Didn’t Know A Flock Of Seagulls Was In Town
Generally speaking, hotel workers do not rank at all highly on the list of people of whom I am jealous. They have to deal with the public on a daily basis, which means that by default their job probably sucks at least half of the time on the low end. But boy, what I wouldn’t …

Happy Shawinigan Handshake Day
Today is Flag Day here in Canada. It’s a time to celebrate the day in 1965 when the Maple Leaf replaced the Red Ensign as our country’s new official symbol. Strangely, an event of such significance didn’t always have its own day. Believe it or not, it took us until 1996 for a government to …

As we wait for 2016’s Black Friday barbarism to begin, let us pause and remind ourselves that no matter how much more enlightened we think we are than previous generations, we still act an awful lot like they did. This also serves as a good argument that the person who came up with Black Friday …
