Right now The Sherry is blogging about how I love me some Battlestar Galactica. Details to follow.
Dear Hillside,
Just what is your deal, man? I mean, you’re a good festival, don’t get me wrong, and we’ve had good times together. But it’s getting harder and harder to get tickets.
First you decide early bird tickets are to be sold only to Kitcha-Toro-Water-Guelphians, and that the regularly-washed masses are going to have to shell [...]
At my new job I get respect and a phone extension and my office is a cave full of computers. Children don’t scream near me and grownups don’t scream at me and I don’t have to pretend to care about Mobile Facebook.
I moved the beta-blog to the main domain, but perpetual beta is in vogue so it remains “salacious springbok” and I’m still tinkering. The old one is dead but the posts and comments imported flawlessly. If you read by feed please update your feedreader accordingly: main RSS feed and comments RSS feed.
Rock solid.
When the head of Asus’s marketing department tore this out of her little sister’s doodling notebook and plunked it down in front of the International VP, I’m guessing no one thought to proofread it, or, say, run it by someone who speaks English.

Watched Revenge of the Sith with The Sherry last night. She had never seen a Star Wars movie before. But she had heard about them.

A certain, I-will-listen-to-this-on-average-once-every-two-years-while-drunk-or-lonely level. The rest of the Radiohead oeuvre, which I left largely unexplored [...]
So Microsoft and other companies sell these “wireless desktops” which generally include a keyboard and a mouse that both connect wirelessly to a transmitter that connects to the computer’s USB port. Useful stuff, that. Wires are tangly.
But then they connect the transmitter to the USB plug with an ugly three-foot-long wire! So you’ve eliminated no [...]
It seems like every couple of years I have to tear down what I’ve built and start from scratch. So I’m doing that here, but a bit more cautiously.
This new blog is in beta right now. Once kinks are worked out it will replace cooldry.ca. I need to figure out what I want to write [...]
Page and Turners is the new feel awesome. I was thinking about how I miss all the free advance reader’s edition I used to get at the VeryLargeBookstore. Rueful reminiscence was me.
Then the guy at Barrie’s finest bookstore hooked me up with an uncorrected proof of Chuck Klosterman’s upcoming novel just cause he remembered me [...]
