So I gave away my old Carlton badminton racquet to a co-worker who complained that the racquets used by her church league were not very good. I figured that since I have no interest in using the racquet, it’s better that someone else uses it; lest it sit in my racquet bag forever. Besides, it’s…

Cut your hair. I swear, cutting my hair is on a religious-level for me. It never fails to make me feel happier about myself. Granted, it’s almost automatic for me [Yes, I cut my hair myself], but it never ceases to amaze me how good about myself I feel. Anyways, I found out that there…

I almost forgot to write about this. Way back in 2006 when our realtor, Jack Wilkie, found out that Jen and I were patrons of the National Ballet, he implored us to watch the Alvin Ailey American Dance Company. Jen was able to score tickets for the February 17th matinée show at the Hummingbird Centre.…

Often times I get discouraged, doing what I do. I mean, I design user interfaces and I document them so that people more proactive than I (The “Do-ers”) can build them. It’s a cool job; I love what I do and I don’t think that many people can say that about their jobs. All I…

I’ve had constant problems with keeping time on the server up and running. So much so, that I installed a Network Time Protocol (NTP) service to ping the NRC’s time server on every reboot. With the US shifting Daylight Savings Time (DST) a month back, I had to do some futzing around with the server…

Jen spontaneously authored a Haiku after dinner today: My belly so full. Waistline ever Expanding About to burst. BOOM! -T

For those of you not aware, I’ve always been pretty good at taking care of plants. Something I picked up from my mother I guess. Prior to moving out of my parent’s house, I took care of most of the house plants. I even planted and raised an apple tree in the back yard back…
