This is a conversation that I had on IRC this morning…

I AM THE GEEK MASTER
Y’know, or at least in the running. So here’s a little story of my past.
When I was in Grade 5 I disliked my teacher intensely. He’s one of those guys who should never have been a teacher. Anyways, during one of those parent-teacher things that happens during the middle of the school year, he was talking to my dad, saying the usual stuff about how I’m not applying myself, he knows I’m smart but just not making stuff happen, etc etc. So my dad says something along the lines of: If I can work hard, and do well for the rest of the year, my reward would be the transformer that I’ve wanted. Did I do it?
No.
But today, 20 years later, I have finally purchased the Transformer that I never had. w00t.

Single Tom
Well, I’ve been single tom for a week so far, while my wife is visiting family in Ohio. I’m working a lot and keeping busy, so I haven’t really noticed that they’re gone, except in the morning when I wake up and the house is empty. Usually we are awakened by Caitlin, but now it is quiet, almost eerily so. They return in a week, and the madness will resume :)
I’m exhausted and a bit stiff today – I played 2 games of hockey last night, and am feeling it this morning. I might try to bike to work tomorrow too, and get the muscles stretched out. Untill next time, gentle readers!

Careful.. they might be normal.
…but they *might* be GIANTS!
I’ve been listening to TMBG and they’re a band I didn’t discover till last year, but I’m listening to them more and more, and I really like them.. they’re poppy, catchy, but quirky and intelligent and humourful, a lot of the things that attracted me to BNL early on.

Weird IRC #2
“Nothing makes a cup of coffee better than the taste of rich, creamery
butter.”
That’s why we here at Starbucks have teamed with the folks at
Land-O-Lakes to bring your our newest drink: The Butter-Mocha-Chai
It’s creamy and rich in a way that just milk, even whole milk, can’t
match.
