Some ramblings on digital music
I'm thinking the music industry is embracing online music by now but I remember reading not too long ago how the big labels were pressuring Apple to raise their prices. The reason I'm thinking about this is because at work we all have iTunes on our computers. As a result there's a lot of people using the software to share their music libraries ( Read more... ) -
A very good night
So yesterday I attended a furry artist meet up and met a lot of awesome people. I was expecting a small group but over 20 showed up in the end. We sat around a doodled for a while and I got to talk quite a bit with sunshine_fox about animation. I guess he's just finishing up his animation schooling at Van Arts and when he discovered I worked in the industry ( Read more... ) -
Tales from a Passport line
So yesterday was the big day when my wife and I got to line up for like a billion hours to hand in our passport application. Ok, maybe that's stretching it but when we got there at 8:00 am there were about 250 people ahead of us. We were told by one of the staff that the wait time was around six hours from our point. It wasn't all bad, we had ( Read more... ) -

I figured out it's not the adapter but the USB port on the back, it must of gotten fried in the power surge. So I finally called Xbox customer support to tell them my problem. They said they ( Read more... ) -

I'll admit it, I have a man crush on Jack Bauer but come on...look at the guy. He's a loving father, he saves the free world, and he'll stabity you in the eyes if you don't tell him what he wants to know. He's so dreamy sighAnyway, season 6 of 24 starts tonight. I like to think of it more as the best show ever made and if you disagree you're ( Read more... ) -
Thoughts on war and religion.
I generally don't follow the news, not as much as I should. As a result I feel pretty ignorant about a lot of things going on in the world. However my homepage at work is MSN (I'm too lazy to change the IE default) and I ended up reading about how Bush wants to put more troops in Iraq ( Read more... ) -

Windy
Vancouver has had a very strange winter so far. First it started with days of heavy rain which was the cause for a boil water advisory that lasted almost two weeks. Then came heavy snowfall, well heavy for Vancouver anyway. It was enough for the snow to stay on the ground more than a week. Then we had a crazy wind storm that left many (though ( Read more... )
