Friends of our have moved to Halifax for school and are keeping a blog to keep the folks back home updated on happenings in their life down east. This recent entry was particularly hilarious as was the following clip:
I was recently introduced to energy drinks by a friend who recommended them as a hangover cure. I haven't had a hangover for – how old is Pace now? – 13 months or so. (Er, not counting the post-SLA conference “Books to Beers” event at the Free House – that one hurt a bit. I […]
George Carlin died yesterday. Like most deaths, it was inevitable. It also fucking sucks. I got to see him live in 1995 at Bally's in Vegas when my parents offered to take my sister and I to Vegas for a family vacation the year I turned 21. (I was quite the little gambling addict when […]

This story about Web 4.0 (I don't know about you but I'm still trying to get my head around Web 2.0!) reminded me of a hilariously prescient Onion article titled “Fuck Everything, We're Doing Five Blades!” Here's the TechCrunch reference to Web 4.0 that got the linked author all lathered up (there, I tied the […]
