Dangerous Streets Of Scarborough
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 […]
!
Well yesterday I turned a new leaf and tried to be nice, but everything can’t be roses and lolipops forever I suppose…
Another one of those little things that really boils my blood is when people inappropriate use the ! urgent flag on emails. Rarely is the matter actually important let alone urgent. There […]
The Opposite Of Complaining
This blog is an outlet for many of my rants and complaints about all sorts of ’stuff’. I don’t very often give someone or something their dues for a job well done. Well we are going change that today.
‘Big Ups’ goes out to the fine people at Gorrud’s Auto in Milton. This is were we purchased our […]
Button Pushers
Sometimes the stupidest little things that people do, really gets my blood boiling. It is nice that I have this place to vent. Hopefully you can understand me and not label me as a wacko.

I generally support progress. Working in Telecom I see that sooner then later (if not already in many cases) there will no longer be separate voice and data networks. They will be the same thing. I think this movement is good for the end user, probably bad for ‘the man’ (ie old school phone companies) […]
Identify Yourself
I have had the same ATM card for many years. It is really starting to show it’s age. Over the last couple of months it has been slowly dying. For some reason I have always had problems getting my bank card to work at Best Buy and Future Shop, this may be some sort of […]
Shoulder Vultures
During my drive home the other night I saw something pretty amazing. Traffic was slowly coming to a halt. I noticed in the rear view mirror a tow truck tearing ass down the the right shoulder, swerving and squeezing through gaps the big truck probably should not of been attempted. Seconds later I notice in the rear […]
Staring At The Ball Of Fire
I commute eastward into the rising sun in the morning and westward into the setting sun (depending on the time of year) in the evening. That big ball of gas that heats our planet gets pretty bright. Since I spend so much time driving to and from work I am able to collect all sorts of […]
