This fall has been crazy TV-wise. Even with my MythTV box I’m still not able to keep up. Here’s what’s on my virtual plate right now: Monday Prison Break Season 2 of the continuing story of a bunch of cons who escape from prison. It’s a 24-type story where you have to keep up with […]
Fall TV Schedule… Too Much! Read Post »
Ugh… other than a delicious shellfish dinner for my Dad’s birthday today (Happy birthday Dad!), and sleeping in late, what a day. Started nice, a lazy day around the house, get some cleaning done, laundry, maybe some surfing or gaming maybe, you know, standard stuff. I started the laundry, went upstairs. I knew that my
The last couple of weeks have seen a lot of work on the backyard and deck. Here’s a quick pano (pardon the split ladder in the middle 🙂 showing things. Note the barkmulch filled planting boxes around the perimeter, the almost fininished lower deck portion (center right) and now-we’re-starting-to-put-on-deck-boards top section with Firefly and FireflyMom
So Sunday I took off. IE: Not working, not doing any computer work…. it was great. Even decided to head out to Granville Island to wander around for the day. Great idea, or so I thought. First of all, I totally forgot that the Merritt Music Fest was on, and apparently at 1:30pm on a

So once again it’s 1am and I’m up doing client work because I’m too much of a nice guy to say no. It’s going to be billable of course, but I really have to learn to say “no, my evening is valuable, we can do this when I have time.” sigh However, I did find

An odd thing happened coming home from work yesterday. Out of nowhere about 5 minutes from work my car suddenly died. Just turned off. I coasted to the side of the side street I was on and thought “that was odd”, then started back up and kept on going. About 5 minutes down the road

I blogged about DJ SteveBoy and his PodRunner podcasts (xml) a bit ago…. well I loaded up my little mp3 player last night and headed to the gym. Well, they definately work. I have to say they work! I didn’t have a long run (only 15 min warmup to get ready for some weights), but
