Lovely Voicemail

So I get into the office this morning and I have a message waiting. At first I thought it might be something important; usually when I have messages first thing in the morning, something is wrong. I listen to the message, and it’s a buddy of mine impersonating someone we know to make fun of ...

Wilderness Camping with Internet Access

I wonder what the world is going to be like in 5-10 years. With the exponential rate of technological expansion, how will our lives change? In the news today, the United States FCC announced that they hope to allow air travelers to surf the web by 2006. (Link) Being in a technology career, I can ...

My new American friend

I have probably made a new American friend after yesterday’s post. The blog I linked to yesterday was posted on November 10th. There were no comments on his posting as of yesterday evening, so it was posted for a full month with no comments. But since I posted a link, he now has 9 comments ...

An American Attitude

I came across a blog entry this evening that caught my attention. Basically this guy is ranting about terrorists and the awful things they have done. He says “I hate the fact that civilians are being killed. But they were warned, and told to leave.” He also suggested that the solution to the problem is ...

Analysis of Hell

The answer by one student was so “profound” that the professor shared it with colleagues, via the Internet, which is, of course, why we now have the pleasure of enjoying it as well.

Men are like Jeeps

In response to the comment from my last posting where I compared men to women, here is an applicable quote from Elaine on Seinfeld: “The female body is a work of art. The male body is utilitarian. It’s for gettin’ around. It’s like a Jeep.”

Difference between lads and lasses

The difference between guys and girls: I have a female friend who’s going on a 2 week trip to the West US Coast.

Dirty Dog Saloon

I was at a bar in Hamilton last night called “Dirty Dog Saloon”. It’s a Coyote Ugly type bar where the (female) bartenders dance on top of the bar. They were tossing women’s undergarments into the crowd. Not sure if it was used underwear or not 😉 They have a website (Link) where they have ...
