  • Looking Glass

    From the “Student Loan Blues” Dept. I’ve been looking at the state of my student loan recently. I realise that now, if any time, is the best time for me to begin to aggressively pay back my student loan (just over $10 K CDN). The way I see it, I have two approaches: Option A:…

  • The Weekend.

    From the “Weekend Review” dept. Another weekend has come and gone—they are never long enough. Jen was visiting again from Vancouver. As always, I ended up spending a lot of time with her. We finally went to “the Groto on Main”, an Italian Restaurant on Unionville Mainstreet that we’ve been interested in going to. We’ve…

  • Update: New Site on the Way

    From the “Yeah, we’ve heard this one before…” Dept Hi all, I’ve been promising a new site for about a month and a half now, and I’m happy to say that if things go well, it will be rolled out sometime next week. Granted, the site won’t look too different, but for me, v2 is…

  • St. Valentine’s Day Weekend

    From the “I was tricked…” Dept. I had a pretty glorious weekend with Jen. We didn’t do much for the weekend, but we spent a lot of time joking about me being her “pimp“and how I was prividing my “Number 1 Ho” with some bling, bling. To be serious though, Jen and I don’t really…

  • Speeding up Microsoft Word v.X

    From the “Only of interest to those who own a Mac” Dept. I use Microsoft Word 2000 at work for word processing, but recently I’ve been using my iBook. Now normally I would use my PC, but I am currently working on a large technical document and I needed the added oomph of 640 MB…

  • Sick, yet again.

    Being Sick Sucks My cough has gotten worse since it popped back up last Thursday. It’s pretty bad as it keeps me up at nights well past 4:00 am. I think I’m getting better now. Tai

  • Healthy Choice “Solos” – Meal for the lonely

    Last week, I saw a Healthy Choice “Solos” macaroni and cheese dinner in the freezer aisle. The “Solos” label must be the company’s positive alternative to “People who eat this meal will die alone, lives unfulfilled”. Or maybe the latter just wouldn’t fit on the label. -T

  • The War Continues; Sick in Detroit

    The war with Mr. Ng goes on So I bought a wireless router this week. I figured it was time to jump on the bandwagon and follow in the footsteps of Kev. My setup was infinitely easier—10 minutes and I was rolling. As they say, “Everything is easier on a mac.” I will end up…

  • 1-year Anniversary; Finances

    Pixelsandwidgets 1-Year bash! I wish there was something more interesting to write about, but there really isn’t. I could talk about my aspirations to be a comic book superhero, or how this weekend I worked on OnX stuff, but I digress. So I renewed my Domain and Webhost again. I’ll try to do a refresh…

  • The week is almost over.

    So close, yet so far. Hi all, I’ve had a pretty difficult week at work. Still trying to catch up as I type this blog. Hmm, congratulations out to Jen’s little brother, Benjamin for landing a job at Pharmacia for his co-op work term. Jen is back this weekend. So I’ll be spending some time…
