Just sent in my cheque for the 2012 Rideau Lakes Cycle Tour

Mallory was at her friend F’s birthday party today. F’s parents held the party at the kiddie part of Altitude Gym called Clip ‘n’ Climb. It was brilliant. There’s kids.…
So a handsomely profitable corporation buys a London Ontario locomotive factory in June 2010 and promptly tells the 465 or so members of the CAW local there that they’ll have…
Naturally they’ll be feeling a bit cocky. So cocky that they figure they can fake the oath. That would be the citizenship oath. A fake oath with fake citizens on…
A line from a cheesey hippie song from the sixties. À propos of nothing, really, except this. No, I’m not expecting Stephen Harper will start getting together and trying to…
There were a bunch of other things I was doing today, but I got through seventy five pages. Of content inventory. Without falling asleep. Are you impressed? Me neither. Ah…
I hit 400 pages today. I’m maybe 25 per cent of the way there. If I had my druthers I think about 380 of them would be kept near-line if…
So this weekend I started in on fixing the hole I opened in the ceiling to figure out the leaky toilet thing. The toilet is fixed. Thanks to Pegg Plumbing.…

Teresa is definitely one of the people who should be publishing a blog. And now, she has one. Courtesy of yours truly. Congratulations Teresa on your first couple of posts.…
For the second time. In – what – three weeks? That perfect slam right on the tailbone. Or whatever that bone is called. I could feel it coming. It happened…
I don’t think I seated it properly. At least I hope that’s where the water’s coming from now. The alternative explanation has a far worse solution.
Skate skiing lesson this evening. Quite cold but manageable. I have to say it was a bit distressing.
Trying to use numbers to settle an argument today at work I found this (somewhat old) Jakob Nielsen column about how much reading most people actually do on the internet.…
It’s late but here’s my week’s contribution to Wolf Lake Wednesday. Friends of Temagami, Earthroots and no doubt a bunch of other organizations and individuals are trying to pressure the…
The past couple of days have been evidence of why some people like single gear bikes in winter. My cassette has been covered in solid ice and my rear derailleur…
