Ok, so I came across this site through a wired news story about 10x10, which is a pictorial news site that is really worth checking out, truly an innovative way to display the news. Still, what it led me to is a site called Oral Fixation Mints which is all about a company that makes some really sweet mints and tins. I love the cinnamon and chai ( Read more... )

Well, seeing as how we all count as bloggers, thought you would get a kick out of this:

How To Start Your Very Own Blog In Fifty-One Easy Steps!

Oh the fun eh?

*A wholy owned subsidiary of the Disney Corporation*

Seriously.

Came across this story on Boing Boing, all about a community that Disney built in Florida called Celebration. It is definitely interesting from a planning perspective, I really like the ideas of green spaces and a traditional sort of neighborhood as opposed to the suburban ( Read more... )

Well, it has been an interesting week from a medical perspective to say the least. I started the week with an appointment with my doctor about my shoulder issues. He recommended me for physio and sent me to get x-rays for the scoliosis in my back. So this is how I ended up naked except for a hospital gown and my socks with a lead kilt to protect ( Read more... )

Well, after a prolonged absence, it was snow that finally convinced me to post again. Nicole and i went running in Point Pleasant park today for the first time in a while, what with my Christmas break from all things exercise related. The park seems to be the only place in the city where the snow is pristine and white, even on the pathways. It ( Read more... )

Ok, so I know the title to this seems a little strange, but bear with me. I just finished reading Belinda by Anne Rice (writing as Anne Rampling). Now this was a book that was supposed to be an erotic novel in the vein of Lady C and such, not just smut. The basic premise is a painter and writer of children's books falls in love with a girl, and ( Read more... )

I love days off, especially with a four day weekend, where you can waste a day just reading a book and relaxing without it being half your weekend gone in one shot. So that is pretty much how I have spent my day so far, reading a book from cover to cover. Hats off to Trev for his fighting his caffeine addiction, a staple of our friendship from ( Read more... )

Ok, so I admit it, I am totally and one hundred percent escapist in my readings. I read to escape, to broaden the depths of my imagination, this is why I read fantasy, science fiction, speculative fiction, alternative history, you name it. I have no problems admitting this and see nothing wrong with it, books have been my comfort and protector ( Read more... )

Well, April Fools Day has come and gone without too much of interest for me. Anyone have any interesting pranks that have been pulled on them in the past for April Fools? My favorite was my father calling me at something like seven am one year when we were living in Victoria and telling me it had snowed. I was still pretty much asleep but I fell ( Read more... )

Ok, so I found the link to this site from MacHall one of the score or so webcomics that I read every day and just had to share it with you all. It requires Flash, and it concerns the Exorcist and little bunny rabbits! Be afraid, be very afraid.

Yummy flash strangeness

Look, two posts in a week!
