If you remember a recent post where I was debating between a new iMac or a custom built machine I have made my descision (sort of).
I’m going with a Mac. The only question now however is do I go for an iMac (desktop) or a MacBook Pro (laptop).

iMac 20″
2.0 GHz Core Duo (processor)

Well in the fashion of leaving everything to the last minute I signed the papers to send off my taxes today with a solid two days to spare. Unfortunately I went the Chartered Accountant route and ended up paying $80 to get them done (he’s also doing the business’ taxes as well as I [...]

It has been confirmed now that Brett Favre is returning for one more season. This season will be his last and I must get to Green Bay to watch one of the greats play on one of the greatest fields of all time (Lambeau Field for those who don’t know).
The magic with the Packers [...]

I’m currently in the market for a new computer system — I’m looking at using some of my grant from the NOHFC for the purchase of it seeing as I still have 75% of the grant remaining as I have been lacksidasical with using it, basically the only purchase being the digital SLR and some [...]

I’ll try to keep this as short as possible as I know I could probably run on forever about these guys.
Anyway if you’ve never heard of or seen the Imponderables I suggest you take the first opportunity you have to do so. This group of four has to be some of the best Canadian [...]

On my way back to work after lunch today I became happy as Voodoo by Godsmack began blaring through the speakers.. ahh Godsmack you made my day for those three and a half minutes.

Well I decided I wanted to quit. Then I decided I can’t afford to quit. It’s at the point now where I simply hate the thought of coming to work in the morning. I try to find ways to delay me from getting here, heck today I even made the bed!
Now it’s [...]

It’s been a bit since I’ve posted but we’ve been busy with some house things and I think we’ve got a lot accomplished although it doesn’t look like it.
The Leaves.
To say our yard had leaves in it would be an understatement, the front yard wasn’t too bad but the back yard was a different story. [...]

Hi, How Are You?

There it is. The question that when asked nobody really wants to hear the real answer to and most people don’t give the real answer either. You’ll get the canned response of “great”, “fine” “alright” or “not bad” and sometimes that’s followed by “how about you?”
It’s more of a thing you say in [...]

This is somewhat a house update but more of a dog update at the new house.
We’ve all seen the “magnificent” or the “marvellous” or the “amazing” magicians being tied up in knots/chains etc and performing fantastic escapes from these predicaments. Domino does not fit this category. Since he first came to my old [...]
