Finally broke down and bought a Nintendo Wii today. I didn’t think they were still in such high demand but it took a few trips to various stores before I managed to secure a console. Cost an extra $10 or $20 but Toys R Us had one in stock.
Haven’t bought any games yet but did [...]
I posted a few days ago about my trials and tribulations surrounding buying a home.
Turns out that everything worked out in the end and I’m now (assuming subject to’s come off) the owner of a new townhouse.
I’m not looking forward to moving, but it’ll be nice to have a place of my own. I’ll only [...]

I’m sure everyone is well aware of the storms that have been hitting the west coast of Canada but the past couple weeks have been particularly bad.
We’ve been without power at work a few times in the past couple of weeks (not so good for a technology company) and there’s a lot of trees down [...]

Finally decided to cash in some credit card points for Futureshop gift certificates and have yet to decide what to buy.
I’ve already got the Plasma TV (and La-z Boy recliner) so I’m covered on that front. I did buy a Game Cube at it’s launch but [...]
I was in Mexico a couple weeks ago and I come back to this…
The first snow storm of the year happened yesterday and it was pretty rough by Victoria standards. The city was essentially shutdown today, no buses, no university, and no work for me.
I may live in Canada, but I don’t live in [...]
Only in Victoria I say.
It’s not often that I find out something that’s happening locally from a site like Slashdot. But this article is saying that we’re getting urinals that rise automagically from the ground. Supposed to curb our rampant practice of peeing in public and for a mere pittance of $75,000. [...]
I’ve decided to take next week off and book a last minute trip to Puerto Vallarta.
Looking forward to it… Last year I made it down to the Mayan Riveria for a couple weeks and given that we’ve entered the rainy season here on the west coast, it’ll be nice to see some sun again.
I’m not [...]
