Globe and Mail (Patrick White) – Not everyone has endured the great doughnut drought of 2008. Calgarian Jonathan Lin has graphed winnings far ahead of the company odds at linisus.com/tim-hortons-roll-up-the-rim. I returned to a very snowy Calgary on Friday night, and Michelle and I watched the Forbidden Kingdom Saturday night! Its a good movie, especially [...]

Well, I’m leaving Toronto in a few days, and I have managed to drink enough Steeped Tea to make an absolutely massive structure as tall as the CN Tower! Almost.

A little shot of my beloved Google Spreadsheet! In other news, I’m slightly creeped out. I came home this weekend from a trip to Edmonton, and when I turned on the light switch, none of my front hallway lights turned on. Roomie Kevin unscrewed the light bulbs, and discovered that all four light bulbs were [...]
