Gotta rock
August 01, 2008 // Link
I just can’t help rocking an air guitar with my eyes shut whenever I hear a song from Guitar Hero on the radio.
Sorry, fellow drivers on Hwy 407.
Speaking of Guitar Hero
August 01, 2008 // Link
If there’s ever a pre-Roboto Styx edition of the game, I’ll be gone for a month.
Boob tube

Thank you, hotel room TV, for reminding me why we no longer live together. You’ve made your point. May I have my IQ back now?
Better than Afleck, though

Flocks of birds are skimming low over my office window, like a scene from Pearl Harbour.
Yes, their acting is that bad.
Plug one

I spent 4 hours this morning setting up podcasting gear and a vintage Apple II computer. (Boy, that’s a long way to say “I’m single.”)
Olympics
August 10, 2008 // Link
Wish I usually watched Olympics so my boycott this year didn’t seem so lackadaisical.
Related: not boycotting milk; just forgot to shop.
Hamster ball
August 11, 2008 // Link
My nephew came to visit, bringing both a hamster in a ball and a small dog to chase it.
Sorry, Internet, no attention left for you today.
Brilliant idea
August 11, 2008 // Link
Personal hamster balls are a potential solution to America’s safety fears.
Pneumatic tube commuting? Airport security to resemble arcade claw game? This idea is all killer no filler.
Sic
August 12, 2008 // Link
Guide to U.S. spelling for Canadians: instead of “colour,” “humour” and “gymnastics routine,” substitute “color,” “humor” and “endzone celebration.”
Plug two
August 14, 2008 // Link
I just explained the difference between a hub, a switch and a router without resorting to sexual innuendo. Well, except when I gave them my ACK face.
Bell of the balls
August 20, 2008 // Link
Reviewing cellphone options with Bell. Their slogan: “Fast, Good or Cheap. Pick zero.”
Roberta’s shirta
August 25, 2008 // Link
Me: Wow, some shirt.
Her: Think it’s too much?
Me: Quite the opposite. But don’t worry, wearing actual fabric is overrated.
Her: Look, we’re going to PQ’s so I want to give out the right message.
Me: You think mass market advertising is the way to go?
Her: Whatever. I’m not a slut, I’m a meme.
Me: What’s the difference?
Her: Webcams.
Hills and chickens
August 25, 2008 // Link
I’ve realized I’m not as old as the hills, but I’m no spring chicken either. I’m somewhere between the hills and the chickens. I’m escarpment poultry.
Last words
August 26, 2008 // Link
Dying words of Dr. Alois Alzheimer: “My only regret is that I wish somebody would have named something after me.”
Label
August 26, 2008 // Link
Whenever I look at my photo ID, I kind of wish my name was Actual Size.
Morning, sunshine
August 27, 2008 // Link
It’s not the caffeine that wakes me up, it’s the Brownian motion.
Isn’t Roger a verb?
August 29, 2008 // Link
Oh Rogers, how can your on-hold music claim you’re receiving “higher than normal” call volume every single day? You so funny.
Change
August 29, 2008 // Link
I LOVE Obama, but with all his supporters holding signs that just say “change”, it kinda looks like he’s popular with homeless people.
Also:
Obama on Bristol’s pregnancy: “No relevance to [her] performance as governor, or her potential performance as a vice president.” Classy.
