The not so amazing "Buddy Beer"
I arrived at the beer store a couple of days ago to find out to my horror that they were out of my favorite beer. How dare them run out of the golden nectar of the gods, the equivalent of an angel crying on your tongue. The only thing worse than not finding your own brand when you want a beer is to...

My take on the American financial crisis
You may ask what gives a Canadian the right to write a post like this and further what makes me such an expert? My perspective is devoid of bias and my background is in finance with a great deal of experience in international trading. We'll leave it at that for now, read on and determine if you...

It's decided, I'm going to Cuba
My wife has been nagging me of late to go on a trip somewhere. If not for her persistence, there is no doubt that I would never book a trip to go anywhere, that is just the way I am. I've done some traveling in my life, crossing North America a few times into the deep south of the USA and up to the...

Canada's federal election is 5 weeks away - who cares?
On October 14/2008 Canadians will vote for the second time in 2 years on who gets to sit in the big chair. Our current Prime Minister Stephen Harper (sort of like a president but with a smaller airplane) is best described as an apprentice head of state. He is a young man who won a minority...

Mr. Bill (Gates) . this is what I want you to do
We've had a couple of decades now where you have basically told us what we needed and indoctrinated a large demographic into using what you told us we needed. Now on the webserver side you have had your ass whupped by Linux/Unix and despite there being no real challengers on the desktop side, Mac is...

Quiet times on Blogit
Yesterday, one of my blogs remained in the top ten overall and number one in its category with only 11 clicks all day. There was a time not too long ago where such light traffic would have insured a drop to at least the second page of overall rankings. It seems clear that this site is much less...

Watching the US presidential race from the outside
I've said before that the US presidential race is a lot like a combination of reality TV and Oprah to someone who lives in a neighbouring country. I cannot vote in this election, I can only observe and lament the ad nauseum level of coverage it gets on the TV airwaves. Who the hell wants Oprah or...

I'd like to kick that lady in the ...
If in fact she is a lady. Beginning yesterday, I had someone who claimed to be female and acting as a purchasing agent for a large international company contact me through my website. She had an interest in a big piece of junk I have for sale and as these things go, began an email dialogue with me...

The stupidest woman that ever lived
At the local mall a few hours ago, I ran into an old neighbor from my old neighborhood. Upon recognizing me, her face turned into a scowl, it looked like she was ready to begin breathing flames but that wouldn't surprise me. Nothing that stupid old hag could possibly ever do would surprise me, she...

The slow climb back to respectability
Awhile back I had a bunch of script monkeys ruin my web forum by setting up multiple accounts and continually posting links to porn. I couldn't keep up with banning them, it was a non stop effort that almost had me shutting down the forum. If not for the fact that I had commitments where it was...
