I decided while I was on vacation that once I got back, I’d try to get to bed by 1:00 AM on work nights. Last night didn’t challenge me by any stretch, and I don’t think tonight will either. Deep down, I still feel like I’m five hours ahead. The first day back at work […]

It’s been a lovely couple of weeks in the United Kingdom, but now I’m packed and ready to go. We’ll fly out tomorrow evening, get home tomorrow night, and go to work on Tuesday morning. We’ll be back in England during the holiday season, and I’m already looking forward to it. We’ve gotten to spend […]

You’ll never guess what, you guys! I got a call from my boss last night. He wanted to let me know that I’d been named the head of the video game department at my company. At the time, that seemed like a surprising but nonetheless wonderful announcement. But when I woke up in the south […]

Right before I left for London, I signed up to do this year’s AIDS Walk for Life. It’s an event happening on Sunday, 13 September 2009 to benefit the AIDS Committee of Toronto, which is one of my favourite charities. I’d be very grateful to anyone willing to sponsor the walk. ACT is a terrific […]

I’m catching a flight to the UK in just a few hours. I’ll be gone for a couple of weeks. Don’t touch my stuff. I’ll be checking my email periodically, and I might even post now and then. If nothing else, I’m hoping to take a look back at Sunday’s benefit, which was a great […]

I know we’re going back a couple of weeks at this point, but in case you haven’t seen it, this is the sort of thing that’s happening on one of the most popular news networks in the States these days. Thanks to Crooks and Liars for the link. Let’s go ahead and give Glenn Beck […]

“Finish each day and be done with it,” Ralph Waldo Emerson once wrote. “You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your […]

“I got pretty high up in Scientology,” a twelve-year-old kid told his friend on the bus today. “I had to spend a lot of money to get there. By the time I figured out it was all a scam, I was really far in. But I got out of there.” Give it up, kid. We […]
