Common Questions About Puppy Linux: A Poster (CQAPL:AP)
By Regan
Q. Is Puppy Linux made by Puppies?
A. No. That’s just not possible.
Q. Is Puppy Linux made for puppies?
A. No. Why would puppies need Linux?
Q. Is Puppy Linux made out of [...]
I’m rebranding this thing as The Co-op Student Chronicles. The new shtick is that every post’s title will refer to lyrics or song titles from Fastball’s landmark 1998 album “All the Pain Money Can Buy.”
So the co-op student waltzes into work yesterday half an hour late with several layers of bandages taped all over his [...]
I bought Ashtray Rock, the new Joel Plaskett Emergency album the other day and I’ve given it a few good listens and I am now declaring it good. Easily the equal of Truthfully Truthfully. You can definitely tell Gordie Johnson had a hand in recording it. Mr. Chill’s harmonica skills are a long way away [...]

The Three Songs podcast has a home. And an RSS feed. And I just posted episode 3: organic chemistry. It’s about Matt Mays and scandalously features more than three songs. If you consider organ interludes and an extended funk jam to be “songs.”
If you’re down with RSS, you probably know what to do with the [...]
“Man I can’t believe I gotta give all this fuckin’ cash to my fuckin’ parents. I gotta buy some clothes for like back to school and shit.”
“I can’t believe a whole two weeks’ pay is only like this thick. Man if I was a drug dealer I could make a stack like twice this thick [...]

The hold music is Billy Joel. And not good Billy Joel. Two songs back it was Three Doors Down. Her kids are climbing on the painted pony ride. The boyfriend’s outside for a smoke. The phone number we tried to wrest from Rogers’s iron fist 22 hours ago is still floating in limbo somewhere, ethereal [...]
Tonight is a very cold, cold night. It is a Chancellor night. One of my favourite Gord Downie songs is quiet and cool, with a very subdued piano sound complementing perfect poetry.
crazy daisies
wooden stars
the threat of oxygen on Mars
marching armies in the night
smiling strangers riding by on bikes
children smoking
sloganeers on mics
Just a few things most [...]
Rogers is using “The Holy Ground” by the High Dials (mp3, 4.2MB) in their television commercials shilling their new mobile download service. I have a few things to say about that.
I was unaware that the High Dials really existed. Given the complete lack of attention they have received from anyone outside of little clubs in [...]
