On Social Networks and Facebook

I've been on Facebook for a few weeks now and while I think it's great in that I've gotten to connect with old friends that I've not had contact with for years, I also find it really bizarre. For instance, with Facebook you can set your status.. a little blurb …

Moved to Wordpress

Well, I've decided to move the blog to wordpress instead of serendipity. I liked serendipity a lot, but... well, wordpress is more popular and I wouldn't to see if I could make trackbacks actually work. Seems a little simpler and straightforward, once you get used to the different layouts, etc …

GTD and reclaiming my inbox

Well, I've decided to try and take the plunge and implement some GTD philosophies in my life. While it encompasses a lot of different things, the first thing I aim to try is to reclaim my email, which has been getting way out of hand lately. I remember about 2 …

Guitar Hero... more addictive than WoW?

I've been really busy with a few side jobs this week, as well as regular work for Mandriva (playing catchup from a few days in Drumheller (Alberta's dinosaur capital) last week). However, last week I bought Guitar Hero II with the guitar controller when we got back from our little …

Main site reorganization

Feb 1st... the day to quit smoking

Title says it all. I love smoking, but it's not good for me. I have to start hating it. At any rate, I feel like a sh*t because my daughter thinks I don't smoke and the other day she said "well, my daddy doesn't smoke" to her aunt who …

Burning Crusade... bring it on!

Well, last night I got my druid to level 55. This is a pretty amazing feat for me considering how little time I spend playing WoW these days. But I'm all psyched for the expansion, so I'm sure I'll go overboard on it for the next week or two and …
