Print iconI’m actually rather busy

Tuesday, January 31st, 2006

Which is a first.
So here’s the thing people; I was trying to write up an opinion piece on this thought-provoking (if entirely wrong) opinion piece. [Pussyfoot past registration]

Print iconA suggestive preview

Sunday, January 29th, 2006

I’ve not been slacking, I’ve been busy. Amongst other things, I’ve also been “researching” stuff toward a post (and our not-as-yet dead treatise [PDF]) I’m working on.
Yes people, this is […]

Print iconIf this were reality

Wednesday, January 25th, 2006

Oh what’s become of this journal? We haven’t delved into the world of reality TV in so long. And for those of you joining us from a parts of the world that don’t know the joys of excessive reality TV, all I can […]

Print iconNot in vain

Tuesday, January 24th, 2006

I was at a coffee shop earlier, and I suddenly started smiling uncontrollably. My eye had caught the following headline.

Print iconWhen geeks aren’t geeky enough

Monday, January 23rd, 2006

This is a geeky post. Sorry. Maybe if you scroll down really quickly…
I was trying to get some (work related) writing done, when I get an e-mail from the computer support […]

Print iconDefeating the purpose

Sunday, January 22nd, 2006

I’m pleased to report that in terms of maintaining resolutions, I’m doing pretty well. I will get into greater detail sometime in the future, but for now, I’m going to talk about one of the problems I’m running into.

Print iconOverheard on my commute

Saturday, January 21st, 2006

(Yeah, really.)
Woman 1: “So, are you going out tonight?”
Woman 2: “Oh, I don’t know. I really don’t want to spend all that time getting ready. I wonder if I could just […]

Print iconIs ignorance in the wrong?

Thursday, January 19th, 2006

This earlier post got me to thinking about being ignorant about other cultures (and just being ignorant in general). I don’t claim not to be part of an educated elite, where I do look down upon anyone who I deem is a “simpleton”. […]

Print iconA collection of sorts

Wednesday, January 18th, 2006

OK, this is just an ad, and for long-time readers/fans/foes, this is nothing new. But we’ll not let the young’uns know that.
Please check out a small collection of my photos on […]

Print iconHomophobiaphobia

Wednesday, January 18th, 2006

Like I’ve said time and time again[1], it’s hard enough to find someone who cares for you, makes you happy and everything else (while you repay the favour) without narrowing down your selection pool based on language, skin colour, race, gender, whether your […]

Print iconVarious hues of idiot

Sunday, January 15th, 2006

actuality dot log—Now cool enough to rip itself off™.
(This is like one of those flashback episodes you see on major sitcoms from time to time.)
On the one hand, you have the […]

Print iconOn falling trees and eavesdropping

Saturday, January 14th, 2006

I don’t usually get into current affairs on my journal, because I don’t keep myself abreast of such things; and I rarely care enough to write about events even when I do. But one recent event has pissed me off to no end, […]

Print iconWhere do I begin?

Wednesday, January 11th, 2006

Is it possible to confuse some sort of deep respect for someone’s intellect with a form of attraction toward them? This incident, apparently, had stemmed from just that. It’s bothersome when you don’t know whether to feel flattered or creeped out.

Print iconAfter some thought

Wednesday, January 11th, 2006

So here’s what’s going on. My biggest beef is not with the masses who are getting engaged, but with me. While the rest of the world[1] is moving forward with their personal and professional lives, I am perfectly happy ogling over shiney LEDs.
