The past few months have been full of things better descibed with pictures...so here goes.October -- HalloweenMuch pumpkin carving was done. After a trip to the pumpkin patch where each of us brought back a pumpkin, everyone picked a pattern they wanted on their pumpkin. I got to carve each one. They didn't turn out too bad.The one above is a happy face and here is the haunted mansion.A pirate

I thought this was a very cool idea. Check it out and have some fun by creating your own. The load time is pretty high, so be patient.

This game looked promising. The reviews were good and the trailers were tantilizing.I got it installed and started into it.The story begins with you as an FBI agent investigating another homicide of a serial killer. You're in a dark downtown building investigating the crime scene with some high tech "CSI" type gizmos to collect evidence.Things go wrong and you are eventually tagged with the

I picked up this game for the PC a few days ago. I've never been a big Lara Croft fan, but thought I'd give it a go. I played the first Tomb Raider many years ago. It wasn't my thing then, so I never did complete it. Since playing some other puzzle type games, like Prince of Persia, I had some new found interest in this particular game. First off, Lara isn't Angelina Jolie in this. If it's

Recently, one of my favourite shows, Off The Record (OTR) has undergone some changes. The show is (was?) essentially a sports opinion show where a daily changing panel of "celebs" discuss current events and trends within the sports world. There are many times when you will get some heated discussions (disagreements) on some issues. For anyone who has watched it over the years, some of the

Finally finished this game up before Christmas. As I posted earlier it was pretty enjoyable. As far as FPS games for the PC go, it was above average. The story begins with some strange occurences within some complex. It looks like a lunatic has taken over an aerospace facility full of super soldiers. All attempts of infiltrating and capturing the apparent leader of the uprising fails. The

Christmas has come and gone. We had a great time up north. The weather was a little too mild, which restricted us from skating on the river. It's beautiful country up there in Wilberforce. As usual, the food was tasty and filling. The youngest two got what they were hoping for. Lots of "Barbie Pegasus" and "My Little Pony". I got some much needed new shoes, some track pants and a sweat top,

Whoa! It's been awhile. I knew I'd left this sitting for a long time, but JULY! Wow. Let's see...What's happened since then? I'm a year older. Big whoop. Work is changing. I think for the better. There are many layoffs looming, however, I think I won't be a part of it. Of course, as soon as I say it, that's when the axe will fall. :-( Things just seem more prevalent in our area. There

I just finished playing another PC game. It's called Second Sight. In a nutshell, I thoroughly enjoyed it. You are Dr. John Vattic, initially a beat up, tortured looking psych patient. From there the story evolves into a truly engrossing timeline of events switching between current/future/past events. As John, you have a number of psychic abilities and you learn how to use a number of weapons

I've been playing this game for the last little while. It's been entertaining. Basically, the story goes that you're a marine in future Hong Kong. You die...then you get fixed up all bionic-like.Then the real game begins. When I started playing it, it reminded me of the Deus Ex series. Later I read it was to be the continuation of that series but ended up as it is. The similarities are

NCAA Basketball during the month of March is magic. The championship, played last night, was no classic but was entertaining. Although the Illini went to sleep at the end of the first half, they came back and made it an entertaining game and preventing me from making an early night of it. No quit, and though they don't get to claim the title of "National Champions" they are nonetheless,

Times, they sure have changed. Gone are the days you can count on being employed at one company, as long as you want to stay there and do a good job. Gone are the days where there is any security in doing a good job. Gone are the days of saving for the future with any regularity. Growing up we didn't have a great deal of money, but we never really wanted for anything. Even during the years

The Raptors are playing pretty well since the All-star break. Jalen Rose has been terrific, being named player of the week. Not doing anything at the trade deadline was probably the right thing to do if there was nothing promising coming back. I don't like their chances of making the playoffs though. Philly looks pretty good with their trades, and Iverson is playing unbelievably now. The

I have cleaned up my blogroll. Whoopee, you say. Well, I have added a really enjoyable blog called "It's Raining Insanity". The little downloadable video collection is very well done, for the most part. They give you a better sense of who Daemon Cain is. I've really enjoyed this find.

Oh to be young and naive once again. We were talking about cavities and dentistry when our 5 year old asks: "Do you have to get a needle if you have a sweet tooth." She was relieved to find out you don't...after all she does have a sweet tooth, and she knows it.

Wow. Christmas has passed. New Year's has come and gone. Already two weeks into 2005, and I finally get writing an entry for this blog. It's not because nothing has been going on. There has. It's just that I haven't had the urge to write about much lately. Anyway, here is a brief summary of things that have been going on. Christmas was great. A very hectic time, with four kids and

Well the big trade is done. Vince Carter, Wince Carter, Vinsanity, Air Canada, Half Man Half Amazing, or Half Man Half a Season has left the building. Whatever your opinion on VC himself is, he is now a NJ Net. The New Jersey papers are seemingly happy with the trade. What did they give up? Three old guys and two draft picks. For the Raptors, the key is two-fold. One, they get some help on

I'm not going to apologise, because that would presume that I've upset someone...Hardly, a possibility with respect to missing a few entries on this blog.

I just got finished watching a video called Bumfights 3: The Felony Footage. I'm glad I never wasted any money on it. It was, to say the least, disturbing. Much of it is gratuitous violence and stupidity between youths street fighting. Watching people get beat up isn't funny. Then there is the whole street people angle of the video. Exploitation over and over. The "stars" of the show are

This morning was really no different than most. The alarm went off, I turned it off and rolled over. Half an hour later, I'm in hyper mode getting ready for work and getting out the door. My usual hour plus drive in was better than a lot of days. I took the same route as always and parked in the same spot in the parking garage as (almost) always.

The usual stuff occurred. The kids get all excited about what they're going to be and the parents get geared up for the trek around the neighbourhood. This year was a little more hectic due to a family birthday party to attend in the afternoon. We got back from that around 5:30 and sure enough the tricking and treating had just started.

I'm not a huge baseball fan by any stretch, but I do enjoy a back and forth game in the playoffs and World Series. The two division championships were golden. Both going the distance and both being tight games (at least most of them). They had late inning dramatics and extra inning dramatics. You know, things to keep your interest. Even my wife wanted to know (and tune in) what was going on. The

The last few days have been spent nursing some illness. Colds going through the house, not once, but twice. Ahh, kids and school. All the lovely ailments brought home for all to enjoy. Work has been pretty boring of late. Few bright spots, and rather unchallenging right now. Two co-workers have lost their fathers within days of each other.

This article reminds us of both the good and the bad in the human race. One act despicable, the other commendable. We should all take a little time each day to ask what we've done recently to make a difference in someone's life. Even if it's as simple as making them smile when they seem down.

I'm perusing the news via the internet and see this little story. Hard to believe. Can you imagine how it must be to have no one (almost no one) looking for you if you suddenly stopped showing up places you normally do? Seems to me the group running the condo could have been a little more persistent in their "attempts" to contact him.

Last week I attempted to reinstall Windows on my home PC. I've been having issues with blue screens since I got the motherboard replaced, so was trying some things. Updating the BIOS didn't relieve it, so I thought I would try a reinstall, before doing a format. Well, I got a message saying that a file could not be copied...so after trying several times, I skipped the file because that was one of

I hope this doesn't offend anyone, but I found it funny... B&B and I were watching Canadian Idol last night. It was Lionel Richie night. Great bunch of songs to choose from and most of them were done well. Anyway, this was the first night we've watched it and we both thought the contestants were much younger looking this time. I have a "habit" of spotting out gay folk when watching TV. I figured

The Olympics will be starting up once again this week. I for one do enjoy tuning into the telecasts from time to time. I usually take in some of the opening and closing ceremonies and keep an eye on basketball, track, diving, swimming, wrestling, soccer, and gymnastics. Some others I may get into if Canada is involved is baseball. The rest I have little or no interest in. Hopefully, there are

A little background: Our busiest time of the month (barring major system problems) is the first 6 business days because we produce a multitude of reports to let the client(s) know how their systems are performing. The two most senior people of a particular platform (not the one I support) are on vacation right now. So as Murphy would have it, all these reports are due and the data collectors have

Got to bed a little late last night...no particular reason. I was up a good portion of the night with some heartburn and stomach upset. Yeah, yeah, poor baby. Anyway, the alarm goes off, and I don't move. I decide I need the extra hour and I'll work from home. I get up and send the email to let my cohorts (who mostly couldn't care less) know that I will be home and how they can contact me. Cool.

Hey, I'm back! Been on a little R&R for a few days. Needed it. The weather for the most part turned out great. Enjoyed some fishing, swimming, and hiking. Now, back to reality ==> work! I finally got through all the email at about 10:40 this morning. That task started at 7:00 this morning. Then I turn around and have a whole new crop of email to look after...terrific!

I watched a couple of movies over the weekend, Cold Mountain and The Butterfly Effect.   First, Cold Mountain.  On the surface, it looked like a movie I wouldn't enjoy too much.  A love story about a Civil War soldier trying to get back to his true love.   Blech!  This movie, however went further than just the love story.  It had enough action and altercations and villains to keep me

So, in the office today I overhear a "glowing" review of Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11. It's not the first, and I admit the topic is hot. The trailers I have seen have certainly peeked my curiosity. Anyway, being the skeptic that I am, and knowing Moore's passion for overstating/understating the facts, I needed another opinion. I went to Spinsanity, my favourite U.S. political watchdog site. As

Finally the atrocities that have befell the Iraqi people will be brought to light. It is no surprise, to me anyway, that Hussein is as defiant as ever. How could a judge intimidate him, when the U.N. and later U.S.-led coalition forces could not? Eventually, he will be taken to task for his actions over the years. Although I never agreed with the U.S. coalition, without Hussein in power, the

Yesterday marked the 137th year of Canada. A time to reflect on our history and enjoy a day off work. I spent mine with my family in the back yard drinking some frosty Canadians (that's beer). The weather was great! It doesn't get much better than that.

Well, it's been several weeks since "I Hate My Wife" went off the "air". I guess I've been hoping, like some others, that T and W and the rest of the cast could continue on amusing us. It really was well written. Maybe T will surface somewhere with a different topic/blog. It is with a deep heart that I remove "I Hate My Wife" from my blog roll. *sniff

What an interesting set of events that could take place shortly, if, as most experts are predicting, a minority government is the result of the election. As outlined here there are a number of things that could play out after tonight. If the electorate does not elect a party in majority, Paul Martin holds the power. I don't remember ever being this interested in a vote before. Am I getting

Although one could take this as being a silent protest the article says nothing about what the usual turnout is for a budget vote. That to me is pretty important information. Is it typical for political parties to show apathy toward a vote that, in my memory, has never seen a budget being opposed? To suggest such a thing based on what is presented in the article is pretty shoddy journalism, in

The weekend was relatively relaxing. I did the usual chores on Saturday and looked forward to a relaxing father's day at home. That would mean a little beer, watching sports, and spending time with the kids. I tuned into the US Open a few times and couldn't believe the love in they were having with Phil Mickelson. Saturday it began, but perhaps worse than that was following Tiger Woods around

The election is fast approaching. The debates (in English) begin tonight. The polls show the "Conservatives" leading by a slight margin. It appears Canada is on the verge of electing a government mostly based on despising the current government in power. This I feel would be a mistake. I felt it was a mistake even before I read this article. Now there is some ammunition behind by gut

So, the hockey season is finally over...in June! Seems odd to be playing a winter sport in June, but in Canada, for many it is a year round thing. The Stanley Cup goes to Tampa Bay of all places. A place of palm trees and very hot weather. To some that seems odd, but for me it doesn't matter. The Tampa Bay Lightning played like champions in the seventh game (for that matter, so did Calgary).

Canadian politics can be just as interesting as the US politics, except it's just not on the world stage as often. The federal election in June should prove where Canadians' heads are. On one hand you have the "status quo" Liberals, that are no longer status quo because they have new leadership and a different vision. On top of that they must fight the scandal/allegations brought against them.

I got this game a few weeks ago from B&B, just because she wanted to give me something...how cool is that? Anyway, it was a game I had seen a trailer for earlier in the year. It looked impressive, so when it came out she ups and gets it for me. The graphics are great. The game is much like Serious Sam where the baddies come at you from all angles. Your job is to kill them all to move on.

Work sucks! Not the actual work, management and their lame ass excuses for policies. The company has and supports work and lifestyle initiatives for their employees. Some of the options are home office, flexible work hours, flexible work weeks, and flexible work locations. Well, home office is out. Big surprise there. The problem I have is their reasoning.

Well, sometimes things work out. The house insurance is going to replace all the carpet and all the linoleum downstairs. They are also waiving the deductible since we did a good job of containing the mess. So, the big mess is now getting two things done on our "things we want to do but can't afford right now" list. In a round about way it cost me a good chunk of change, but probably less

Last Thursday, the sewer backed up again. Same symptoms as last time, with the stuff going into the downstairs shower. Luckily, the last snaking was guaranteed for a month so since it's only been 2 weeks, we got Rotorooter to come out and snake again. Things didn't go as well this time though. Even after snaking you could tell there wasn't free flowing drainage happening. They recommended a

The goings on over in Iraq with the prisoners and their captors can be viewed in no other way than being a disgrace to the U.S. military and government. Some of the very acts of human degradation and inhumane treatment the U.S. chastised Saddam for are now captured on film with the U.S. military taking on the role of the corrupt regime.

Well, it's been a few days since the beloved Leafs had their season ended by the Flyers. I've adjusted to my Leafless existence. But there is a void that cannot be filled. I am now (until next year) a hockey fan without a team to cheer for. Anyway, getting back to my assessment of the series. I think the Leafs deserved a better fate. Outside of the 7-2 drubbing, they played as well as or

I heard about this coach in Jersey that gave a player of his a "cry baby" award on The Fan 590's Dink of the Day segment. It's also interesting to read some public assessments of the story here. My take: No matter how whinny the kid was during the season, he does not deserve to be humiliated in front of his classmates, and teammates. It is disgraceful that a coach (and likely teacher) would

The weekend was pretty bad in more ways than one. Friday B&B informs me that the downstairs shower is backing up with something. When either of the toilets are flushed water (and some other stuff) is backing up into the shower. Fortunately, it was contained pretty much in the shower, and it wasn't raw sewage. Well, off to Canadian Tire on Saturday morning to get two big bottles of draino.

The Leafs just won their first round playoff series against Ottawa. The difference in the series, without a doubt, goaltending. Toronto had a red-hot Ed Belfour, and Ottawa, well they didn't.

Well, the Leafs are heading into game 7 against the Senators tonight without their Captain, Sundin. Game 6 saw the Leafs score the first goal and try to hang on, but the Senators finally beat Belfour in the third period and went on to win 2-1 with a goal early in the second overtime period. I expect a very similar game tonight, however, with the Leafs winning it. GO LEAFS GO!!! Hopefully, it

I watch my youngest on the computer...She's 3 in a couple of months. She's playing Clifford the Big Red Dog. It's amazing to watch her manipulate the mouse around the screen. They pick up things so quickly. I remember when my son first started on my PC, he was probably a year older, but the same thing. Exposure to new things is the key for them. It's funny how they can do things like this

The week off ended in a blur. We had folks down from Sudbury, in-laws in from bear country, and several other friends just for Saturday's Leaf game. The Leafs won, so happy happy day. It was great to end the time off work with such a whirl, because the first few days in spring cleaning mode didn't make it feel too much like a vacation. I figure the Leafs are in pretty tough but as long as

This story has got me going -- again! Now, I recognize that the roads are crazy out there. I drive the highways of the Toronto area most weekdays, during rush hour, before rush hour and after rush hour. I have seen just about everything imaginable on the roads. Yes, there are many poor drivers. Many take far too many risks, and are in far too much of a rush to get one car length closer to

I don't mind painting in the house too much, but the cleanup (especially the oil paints) really is a negative. It takes almost as long to clean up as it does to paint a small room. There has to be a better way (outside of hiring someone) that is inexpensive and not too time consuming.

Lottery Man The winner of the largest lottery award in Canada finally came forward yesterday to pick up his $30 million award. Why did he wait almost a year to claim his prize? He says he "Didn't want to do anything rash". Now there are reports that he just finalized his divorce from his second wife in January. Hmmm, do you think that had anything to do with his caution? Do you think it was a

On my almost daily blog trip I stumbled upon a very (at least in my opinion) well done blog. It's called "I Hate My Wife" but it really is a misleading title. Other than the fact that the blogger is married and talks about his "W", as he puts it, in many of the entries, I don't get the sense he hates his wife. The in-laws, yes; wife, no. At any rate, it's a good light read that had me

The news of young Cecilia Zhang's body being discovered has once again sent chills throughout Southern Ontario and very likely, all of Canada. There are no words that can adequately describe all the emotions we feel nor is there much we can say that can take the pain away from her parents who must now find some way of continuing on without her. Riri has captured much of what I am feeling

The snow finished melting in my neighbourhood yesterday. "So what?" you might say to yourself. Well, evidently this was a sign for one of the retirees in this area (two doors up the road) to mow his lawn!!! There I am getting ready to make lunch for the kids and I hear the familiar summer sound of a lawn mower. I say to myself, "No way it's a lawn mower, the snow just melted." I thought it

So, the geniuses that run our provincial government want to set up a new way to pay for your hydro by introducing a "smart meter" that will record the time of day that the energy is consumed. With this information, you can be "rewarded" for using the hydro at off peak times with a lower rate. Energy is a hot topic in Ontario due to the recent price problems and power outage. It is said that

Today I received an email from my boss letting me know that "Unfortunately, your request to attend the blank conference was turned down. If you would like to discuss it, please see me." What a surprise! Even though I predicted this months ago, it was still hard to take. This company spews on about how their employees are their number one asset and without us they can't satisfy their

You're kidding, right? The things I sometimes read out there that just don't make sense are so numerous, it's scary. Take for instance the story of the maximum security prison guard who is being reprimanded for wearing a stab proof vest! Are you kidding me? The reason given by the spokesperson for the correctional institute is that it is "confrontational". Pardon? The bureaucrats are worried

Record time? Not really, but I'm going to be more aware of backing up this stuff more often. I would have been done sooner but I went to my son's hockey game. They lost. The season is over. Hopefully I can get some real content in here tomorrow, but now I'm off to bed. (Not that you really needed to know that.)

In a word, nothing. It is, without a doubt, one of the best sports to watch in the world. It's fast, it's physical, and there are generally great swings of momentum during the game. The recent events in the NHL of stick work by their players has brought the controversy of violence in the game, once again, to the forefront. In these cases, the league has, in my opinion, made a mistake. The

How the games change when you're in a pool! I watched quite a few games the past four days. A ton of good ones and a good number of upsets. After the first two days I was doing pretty well, then the weekend came. Two number ones gone, and one of the number ones I figured was weaker (St. Joe's) is still in it. My pool picks are destroyed. I had Kentucky winning it all but they're gone.

First, the leafs. They just lost to division rivals Boston. It was a good game and they could have won it. There are still moments of sloppiness that a team vying for a Stanley Cup just cannot afford to go through. As a Leaf fan I so want them to go all the way, but I have reservations. It looks as though they are going to finish 4th or 5th and play Ottawa. They have dominated that match up

In Canada we love our hockey. If you live in Canada or a place that covers hockey at all, you've heard about the Todd Bertuzzi attack on Steve Moore and the subsequent suspension. This story has led the sports casts and pages since it occurred. There has been much debate as the Vancouver police contemplate laying formal charges against Bertuzzi.
