Alright, so a post at 11:30 pm on the day you say you’re going to post still counts right? Regard­less, here we are. My only defense is that I was no where near a com­puter for the time required to actu­ally put some­thing together. I’ll make it up to any/everyone that actu­ally reads this.

Any­ways, todays little post is a little bit of a bitch. That is to say that I am bitch­ing about some­thing that to this day man­ages to blow my mind.

Why the hell can’t people drive in the snow?

Seri­ously, it’s been around longer than we have. We have devel­oped wheel-​drives, tires, break-​styles, wiper-​blades, anti-​freezing, self-​heating, Pi-​calculating cars. So despite our advances against the frozen flecks of water still manage to turn every­one into drool­ing, knuckle-​dragging morons whos only response to having to drive in the stuff is to go under twenty km at any given time. For those out there still using the impe­r­ial system, that’s roughly 12.4 miles per hour.

So yeah, this past week’s been some­what busy, as I have had a room upgrade and had to move all my junk into another part of the house. This also requires me to go wire­less, so I may not be online for a while (we’ll see how instal­la­tion goes).

Regard­less, here is some­thing to tide you over.

The more I try and read what others are saying on the world wide inter­web, the more I real­ize that there are a lot of people out there who are a hell of a lot smarter then myself. Jarkko Laine is one of those people. While look­ing around his site, I found what is deemed a “pop­u­lar arti­cle“. The title alone got me to read it (Never Work Over­time Again) and after read­ing it I can hon­estly say that he nailed it per­fectly. Noth­ing could be done to improve the state­ments made therein.

This is going to sound like an odd arti­cle, as I have yet to write any­thing on this site remotely reflec­tive or con­tem­pla­tive. I don’t know why, actu­ally but that’s just how it’s turned out. In any case, I was talk­ing to Theresa on Sunday when the topic of my friend Norm moving to Japan. She com­mented on how she was jeal­ous of those who have “free lives” or those who can just “up and do it.” She also made the com­ment that not all of them suc­ceed, to which I responded with “those are the ones that lack the strength of char­ac­ter to see it out.”

I am 22 today!

I finally dragged my ass out of lazy town long enough to get my old wall­pa­pers up. I don’t know how many people still use 1024×768 res­o­lu­tion any­more, but there they are.

I cre­ated a gallery of Duch­es­nay Falls, which Theresa and I vis­ited over the past week­end. Feel free to have a look.

I have to say that I’m a little shocked that North Bay actu­ally had such a beau­ti­ful water­fall so close to the road. If you park your car at the excep­tion­ally small lot by the path, walk 5 min­utes up hill, and brave the bugs, you’ll be pre­sented with a very nice waterfall.
