Embarassing politics in Canada
Tuesday, November 29th, 2005With all the political turmoil in the US in the past year, Canadian politicians have been getting envious of the attention.

Driving you automagically
Monday, October 10th, 2005We've been car shopping lately since the 1995 Passat is starting to be less reliable than ever (which is saying a lot) and doesn't cut it for travelling to the country with a dog or going to ultimate tournaments with a bunch of teammates and lots of gear. Storage and ...

Monday, May 30th, 2005Just a suggestion...

The Network IS the Human
