Part 3 of 3, in “Things I learned while working on my ‘Ways to Make the City Better Now’ pieces, but had nowhere to put”. Since I thought it rude to take off at the end of my internship, and leave everyone in terrible suspense, after having hinted tantalizingly that I had some juicy payphone […]

A tag cloud documenting of presidential speeches, all the way from John Adams to George W. Bush. If you’re not familiar with tag clouds, you will be. Warning: this can be strangely addictive for word nerds, like me. And possibly you. You have been warned.

Is it because of the assy new pope? According to the headline on this story in today’s Herald, “Lord expected to step down.” The article doesn’t have reaction from Muslims, but they’ve gotta be stoked.

quit your lies and bring me some pad thai! What you might not know about the fictitious take-out noodle place on Blowers is that it’s owned by RFL Group of Companies, which also owns MIlano’s and Source Security. well, whoever you are, I like ’em spicy!

The NSLC’s anti-drinking and driving campaign (good idea) features a guy with a donkey, a guy with a wheelbarrow, and a guy with the ability to give piggyback rides (questionable idea). They’re characters that could get a drunken you home….if they existed. Obviously, they don’t – I didn’t actually think that Donnie and his donkey […]

I chose Canada, and got this warning screen telling me that by going to the Canadian home of […]

Ok, I know everyone already knows about Facebook, and has already formed their own opinions as to how lame they think it is. Don’t know about it? Well, it’s basically an “academic” substitute to MySpace (academic in the sense that you need a school e-mail to sign up.) But do you really know how incredibly […]

First let me make it perfectly clear that I am morally against calling things cute simply because they are small. But all that disappeared when I laid my eyes on Thumbelina, the world’s smallest horse. This little beauty is five years old, and only 17 inches tall! Check out the news story here.

Since I last wrote about Gilmore Girls, before its season premiere in September, the following has happened: Lorelai and Christopher got married. That’s all you need to know. Well, Logan moved back to the States and Lane’s having twins and Rory got some annoying art star friends, one of whom is dating my favourite Rory […]

Feeling the stress of not finishing work but needing to head to an annoying holiday function, I responded by going surfing. And look what I came across: an excuse generator. Tell it stuff about the function you wanna duck, and it’ll write and even send the note for you. Now that I’ve blown off that […]

Welcome to yet another HRM fact-filled entry, brimming with random information about the city that I found out last week, but couldn’t use in my “Ways to make the City Better” articles.
