I’m starting a new list over on the side bar. Something less ‘bitter’ than the Tim Horton’s page.
I’ve decided to start logging interesting router names around town, a practice called Warchalking in hackerspeak. I got hooked on what people call (and broadcast) their router names when I found “Inyerbum” while walking the perimeter of the gay village.
Go and look. I 100% promise that all these names are for real. I’ll let you know when I update the page.
Enjoy!
(inyerbum!)
I’m stressed out at work as it is (does anyone know someone who needs a three month HTML/text updating job?!) and to get this email in my inbox this morning just makes me say “Oh go ahead, anything to make the office go away for 20 minutes”:

I’m hooked. Especially now that I can send photos directly from the iPhone (and into the “Gay men with iPhones” photo group! I blame Photog Rod for this new internet crack I’m doing.
Holding SharkBoy’s hand when he gets his tattoo! Bike riding and pick-nick on the Island! Wii-ing with Big Brain Academy! Folsom Fair North (expect pictures galore!) in the Sunday sun!
And some laundry. It’s a full life, really.
To leave you I found that Apple seems like it has more documentaries than movies in it’s trailer park. This one caught my attention.
Over on HOWTO wiki: advice for all you lovelorn attending AGITATOR at the Opera House.

I don’t think I’ve ever blogged that particular disastrous date ever!
I think I should understand that better, if I had it written down: but I can’t quite follow it as you say it.

We just got our images back from Disney’s Photopass service, all 65 of them on CD, in high resolution, ready for printing. If you’re not in the know, all the Disney parks have roaming photographers that will snap your picture near the better vistas and views of the park, and then give you an account number to view your images online at a later date. Pretty nifty! It gives you an opportunity to get a picture of your whole travel group at once. The photographers will also take a similar picture with your own camera, at no charge, without hesitation. It’s great to have this choice, especially since on the last day, I nearly lost my camera with a week’s worth of images on it.
We were so impressed by the quality of the images we bought the entire suite of pictures, duplicates and all, for a total of $125US. The disk arrived today with a large sticker sealing the case:
Viewing and usage of the digital images contained on this CD by buyer signifies agreement to the terms described on the Sales Agreement Read Me file contained on the disc.
What? You mean on the disk in the package, whose seal I have to break to get inside…
…to read…
…and agree to…
…before opening…
My head explodes.
Even more mystical is this statement on the back:
Purchase of this CD includes a copyright release allowing you to reproduce the image files in the sizes and quantities that you wish. The copyright release is contained as an image file (!) on the CD… You may need to show this image file to your photo retailer in order to purchase prints of your images.
Mind boggling exclamation point mine. Sounds like a Worth1000.com contest idea.
Maybe if I were getting prints done at Walmart they’d require to see that file, ’cause lord knows only terrorists take their media to Walmart to have reproduced.
BoingBoing links to someone who’s selling his Pan Am Clipper model from the movie 2001. I still have this model, but without the viewable engine room part.
If you’re here in Toronto, I know of a small hole-in-the-wall shop over in Chinatown 2 (Gerrard and Broadview, north side of Gerrard, east of Broadview – sorry I don’t know the name) that is selling this model and a thwack of other great nostalgic sets, like the Space 1999 Moonbase model kit and a couple Big Daddy Roth’s Hotrod models. Save yourself the duty/shipping!
This Sunday, the Happy Monkeys will be performing their last show before summer break (back by September).
The first half of the show will be short mayhem with games (Party Quirks, Scene Three Ways, etc) and something new for the last half called Montage: a collection of small scenes all based on 2 suggestions from the audience. At rehearsal we had “time” and “shoes” which resulted in Valley Girls attacked by pulp fiction time travellers as well as various other rifts on that concept!
So take your Dad to our show! It will be showalicious and dad will be appreciativalicious.

On this week’s Miami Ink, Garver was taking instruction from a “Vampire” girl for her new leg tattoo. Her augmented goth appearance (fang implants on her teeth, black push up bodice, fishnet tights, red stripes in her hair, confession of blood lust to the camera) obviously surpassed her knowledge of Vampires:
Vampire girl: I want her to be a vampire but like a pin up girl looking at herself in a mirror–
Garver: But… if she’s a vampire… she won’t have a reflection…?
Vampire girl: Oh yeah…
This Saturday I have a consultation with Sick Side Chino at King of Fools Tattoo to revamp my floaty, nothing to it robot tattoo. How excited am I?
I don’t know how old this game is, or any other interesting facts. Screw interesting facts! I’m addicted to this simple game! Sometimes commenter “andrew” will like it because it’s like watching people in a public place, getting infected with a killer virus. Other kinder, gentler people will see Facebook allegories here. Make a chain reaction and rack up the points to Phillip Glass-ian music. Big chain reactions make my measley processor slow down.
Best score yet: 276. But I dont care about scores! I just want the dingly ding music!
