Re: Public Transit Stories

These two stories are not as good as those some have posted, but mildly amusing: - I was once standing on a crowded bus and the woman sitting right below me was having an in-depth Blackberry Messenger conversation with the guy she was having an affair with (the guy was also cheating on his wife/girl...

Re: 1989 computer ad

One thing that is interesting about that ad is the really high price of the computer, compared to the cost of computers today.

Computers and most consumer electronics are one of the few products that have significantly deflated in price over the past 30 years.

Re: What's annoying you today?

I was in High School in the mid-90's when Green Day first became big. Most of the kids in my school were really in to them and Blink 182 and other California "punk" bands. I remember thinking, "Wow, punk really has become popified, commercialized and made to appeal to middle-America". I hated that m...

Artemis, listen to the CBC Q interview with him, it's quite interesting. I vaguely remember hearing about the case, but I learned a lot about it from that interview.

I respect him for allowing himself to make brief cameos in that show for his wife, but drawing the line at the real bullshit aspects.

You should have just done something like this...

Re: Worlds are colliding...

Wherever I go around the world, I can spot Americans. They are usually either obese, loud, obnoxious or rude which seems to be amplified in foreign areas where people don't speak "American" (I can cite several examples of this during my recent 2 week trip to Europe). I say this as someone who loves ...

My wife figured out a few years ago that she was lactose intolerant (she was raised by old-school Polish parents who grew up on farms where milk was a diet staple and things like "lactose intolerance" were too "sciency" to be real). Anyway, she's tried virtually every type and brand of alternative m...

Re: The Secret Machines

The timing of your post is interesting because I was listening to the Road Leads EP yesterday for the first time in about a year and I was thinking I should finally get around to checking out their other stuff (I bought that EP shortly after it came out in 2005 and have never got anything else since).

Several years ago, after Ágætis byrjun, Sigur Ros was offered over $1M to use one of their songs in a car commercial. They were tempted because to that point in their career they had not yet grossed $1M. This was probably a wise decision on their part, because since then they have built up a large l...

I really am curious about why the foot was sent to the Conservative party headquarters. It's a really odd thing to do.

It's a "lyric" video; these are regularly released now and usually precede an actual video.
Yeah, I know that. My point was that it would have been fine is this was the actual video.
