philosophers, physicists, help!
I’ve blinded myself with science. Every time I read about physics, I get stuck at the whole Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle thing. I actually remember straining to understand it one night as a (very nerdy) teenager, and later on in science college, I would spew back the theory without ever really understanding it. Now I’ve finally...
the elegant universe
A couple of weeks ago, I watched Donnie Darko again for fun. It led me to read about time-travel paradoxes, which led me to theories of parallel universes which led me to string theory, which is apparently gaining acceptance by physicists and posits the existence of parallel universes (real ones!). In order to learn more...
contract up for grabs
I have a friend who’s looking for a freelance designer to develop a logo and graphic templates (stationery, web design) for his company. Enquire within. UPDATE: position filled, thanks.
one of those bad service posts bloggers are known for
After four months of wedded bliss, my Windows XP PC decided this weekend it no longer recognized my iPod’s existence. In other words, I plug in the Shuffle, it charges, but iTunes keeps waiting for me to plug in an iPod, and I don’t see it as a removable disk in Explorer. Shite. And I...
nhl playoffs, lightspeed style
Lately, I haven’t been turning on the TV at all unless I have a really good reason to do so. One of the reasons why this is a little easier than usual is the absence of hockey. I love the game, but I’m proudly doing quite well without it, thank you very much. Someone told...
the tsunami
The South-East Asia Earthquake and Tsunami blog: A hodgepodge of information about the tsunami from various sources. The Canadian Red Cross: Where you can send money.
rock you like a hurricane… again
Bunch of us bloggers, along with NYC Pete, going to La Tulipe again for 80s night on Saturday. Come one, come all, the more the merrier.
public service announcement
I got a strange mail from someone I’ve never met, commenting about a few things about the site, like the fact that I’m not cool because Jean Chrétien has probably smoked pot and I still haven’t. But hey, I got called a Faschist at breakfast today, so I already knew it wasn’t my popular day....
happy halloween!
I went a little overboard with the whole Halloween thing this year. It seemed every time I was going out to buy something I actually needed, there was a new Halloween decoration I absolutely needed to get for my party. And I’m damned if someone didn’t forward me a link to a “great Halloween party...
super 7 is at 30 million dollars!
Yeah, so what? I mean, I don’t really understand people who rush to the store to buy a lottery ticket when the jackpot gets bigger. To me, 30 million dollars isn’t really more motivating than the usual – what is it? – 7, 12 million dollars? 12 million does me just fine, really. It’s exactly...
for you fans of clever design…
Lou over at Typo Negative brings my attention to something I hadn’t even noticed, although I’d seen the ads: there’s a smiley in the Canadiens logo. My favorite one of those… types of things has always been the forward arrow that is hidden almost subliminally in the Federal Express logo. Can you see it?
what a crock…
Last week, I bought a ticket to Spain for my vacation (not my destination of choice, but I was outvoted). Upon booking, I confidently entered all my air miles numbers into the system, sure that the numbers would be sufficient to get a discount on some airline, somewhere. I didn’t care if I went by...
