Avast!

Posted May 31st @ 3:31 pm by Mike

Prepare you buckles to be swashed. Pirate Master is finally here … and they have a wiki page too! I am bold enough to make some early predictions about the results of the show.
I am sure I will get in trouble here but I have eliminated all of the women from contention already. […]

Dangerous Streets Of Scarborough

Posted May 30th @ 2:06 pm by Mike

Now that I spend somewhere around 45 minutes a day away from the safety of the office walking I don’t feel as safe as I used too.  So far this month I haven’t seen one gun so I guess that is ‘better then average’ for this area.  The weapon I see more often one my […]

T-Minus 2 Days

Posted May 29th @ 2:53 pm by Mike

Can you feel the Arrrghh in the air?  You can slice it with a cutlass.  That is right, we are nearing the premiere episode of Pirate Master.  I am sure it will not disappoint.  8pm on Thursday is circled in my TV Guide. We have a big party planned at the house and it seems […]

Barbeque Or Barbeque?

Posted May 28th @ 2:55 pm by Mike

I weighed in at 237.8 (though I was 236.6 Saturday morning … damn you weekend) which is a loss of 3 pounds since last Monday.  My handy weight tracker tells me 3lbs/week is also my current trend putting me at my goal of 199 on Sept 2nd.  What a nice way to celebrate labour day.
This […]

Mining PCBs

Posted May 24th @ 2:11 pm by Mike

I found this article about developing countries melting down computer components for gold and copper pretty interesting.  I think it is supposed to be making a point about the toxins released into the water table during this process but my me-me-me attitude has allowed me to look past the social-political issues surrounding this topic.
Here is […]

Three Barbeque’s and A German Board Game

Posted May 22nd @ 4:31 pm by Mike

First off I just want to let everyone know that the next door neighbours are incredible game players.  Jan bested me in Settlers of Catan and I expect it to happen again.  They are very attractive people, where I have an appearance only one generation separated from a troll.
Now that’s out of the way, this […]

Extra Long Weekend

Posted May 17th @ 4:18 pm by Mike

I have Friday off and on Monday, in Canada, we profess our love of the monarchy (specifically Queen Victoria) so I am rocking a 4 day weekend.
Originally I was going to just work on the bathroom but the weather is too nice right now to spend inside all the time.  I will try to get […]

Dance Responsibly

Posted May 15th @ 3:01 pm by Mike

I recently came across a story about the death of Robert Stitt who lost his life during a parking lot dance off. I just wanted to remind people that breakdancing is not to be taken lightly. Know your limits. Sometimes when you are bested you just need to shake that persons hand […]

Mother’s Day Weekend

Posted May 14th @ 2:59 pm by Mike

This morning I weighed in at 243.6.  Which is a loss of 2 pounds from last week.  According to my fancy weight tracker my current weight trend is a 4 pound weekly loss and predicts me to hit my goal weight of 199 on August 7th.  Unfortunately on Friday I was 241.6 which means I […]

Wounded Hero

Posted May 10th @ 1:48 pm by Mike

It is tough to see the great men of our generation in such shape. Funny but tough.
