Best of 2009/Decade

Friday, January 1st, 2010

Happy 2010 (“twenty-ten”) Everyone!
I’d hoped to post this yesterday, but the day — just like the year — seemed to get away from me. So, just about 18 hours ‘late’, I present the annual “Best 75 Albums of the Year” list. As a special, but not surprising, bonus, I’ve also cobbled together a [...]

My Family, On-line

Wednesday, November 11th, 2009

While I haven’t been the best about posting new blog entries (or even frequent tweets) lately, my immediate family has been feverishly building impressive on-line sites. In honour of today being Remembrance Day, I thought I’d take a moment to recognize them:
My mom’s Flickr site grows and grows and grows. She is learning constantly, experimenting [...]

At the Coffee House

Monday, November 9th, 2009

My Girlfriend and I were out the other night at a coffee house near our place. We’d had dinner at home and were just looking for a nice dessert out somewhere. It was a nice night to be out, the conversation was good, the food was decent (although the service and serving staff left much [...]

The Holiday Season

Sunday, December 21st, 2008

Just in case the weather hadn’t tipped you off… or the crowded malls, constant Christmas carols playing… or the calendar… Santa Claus parade… the holiday season is in full swing! Christmas is just days away now; are you excited?

For many of my friends, they’ll be celebrating this year with new family members in tow which [...]

A Quiet November

Tuesday, December 2nd, 2008

So, this year’s NaBloPoMo wasn’t nearly the success that last year’s was. However, I’m still blogging (generally speaking) so I’ll consider it a success in that sense. From what was barely a monthly occurrence, my rate of posting here is still about once a week, even in slow months.

Above is a Wordle that I created [...]
