tread
I’ve had the DIY treadmill desk for almost four weeks now. A few days ago, the Internet called me up and asked “How it going?” Well, Internet, let me tell you: it’s going. It’s interesting. I’d highly recommend it. But. Some warnings: it’s still not entirely natural, even after a month. I have to devote a [...]
credibility
There’s a fabulous story making the rounds of the Internerd about the Gulf disaster. This one is positing a “world-killing” event that might be brewing, as a result of the release of billions of gallons of oil from the BP well over a period of months, oil that took millions of years to originally deposit. The [...]

We live five blocks from Queen Elizabeth Park, so tonight we took a stroll up there. It was lovely. I had no idea there was such an incredible view from the top of the hill. Also, did you know that there’s a triodetic dome stuffed full of exotic birds and flowers and all sorts of [...]
third season
Something I noticed awhile ago I decided recently to call “the 3rd-season curse.” Third-season curse: When a male star gets a regular role on TV, they put on weight in the third season.

treading where no-one has tread before
A few years ago research came to light about the perils of sitting all day. There’s elevating concern about our “sedentary society,” the fact that we spend all day sitting and all evening sitting too, and why this is bad for our hormones and circulatory systems. Heck, just yesterday, the CBC ran a story about [...]
Recycling
A while ago we took an ass-load – well, an Accent-load – of boxen back to the recycling depot. There must have been 50 flattened boxes, all told, and I took great delight in leaping around the foyer where they had been piled, exclaiming about the amount of space now available in the entryway, space [...]
