PicLens by Cooliris is a sweet plugin for Firefox that lets you easily scroll through pictures from popular sites like Google, Yahoo, Flickr, Facebook, and more in a stylish 3D [...]

Where Did All My Money Go?

Have you ever asked yourself this question? Do you ask it on a monthly/weekly/daily(!) basis? Well, I have begun to ask myself this very question and decided that I better get in-check with my finances. Since I wrote my post called 6 Reasons to Track Your Finances, well, I haven’t tracked my finances. Why? 2 [...]

New Years in Algonquin

I know, I know, I’m 26 days late but I have finally gotten the pictures from our New Years trip to Algonquin Park into the gallery (click images to make them larger).
In case you didn’t read my first post about this, Rita and I decided to do something a little different for New Years this [...]

Lifestyle Home Show and Adventure Expo

The dive club I am president of is sharing a booth at the Lifestyle Home Show and Adventure Expo in London this weekend. It is a large show that attracts about 17,000 visitors over the weekend, so there is a lot of stuff! Anything relating to home renovation, landscaping, appliances, etc can be found here. [...]

East Coast Pictures Finally Up!

It has been about 4 months since Rita and I got back from our road trip to the East Coast and I have finally gotten around to sorting through and uploading our pictures. After doing a lot of trimming, there are still 392 pictures (not all of them are in the Gallery). Yes, that’s [...]

What Does RAM Do?

*Ahhhhhhhhh*
That was the sigh of relief I had after adding 2GB more RAM to my computer tonight (now a total of 3GB). Since I started getting more into photography, I’ve been having to use photo editing and cataloging software that just eats through RAM like there’s no tomorrow. I have always had good, fast RAM [...]

Wireless Woes

For the past few weeks my wireless connection has been driving me nuts! About every 15 seconds my connection will drop for about 7 seconds. So, if I’m browsing the net I have to pause and wait for 7 seconds every 15 seconds for a page to load. You can imagine how crazy this was [...]

What’s In a Dollar?

I went to the library yesterday at school and I had to take out an article that was on reserve. I got it from the service counter, took it upstairs and read it. These items that are on reserve are only allowed to be booked out for 2 hours at a time. I was done [...]

Rate Your Life

How does your life rank in comparison to others? I just took a quiz through MonkeyQuiz.com that grades you on a number of life elements. You can compare your scores with statistics from over a million other people who have also taken the quiz. Not only is it fun, but it can give you a [...]

This isn’t your typical free site where you get bottom-of-the-barrel content either. Documentaries available on their site include Bowling for Columbine, Iraq for Sale, and The War on Democracy.

Now THIS is Travel

One of my many life goals is to travel to Antarctica. Every once in a while I peruse the internet to feel a little bit closer to these goals and to dream about the things I hope to do in the future. One company that is making the realization of travel goals easier is G.A.P [...]

New Spectacles

With these new things on my face, I feel much more justified in saying the word “spectacles.” No, I’m not trying to be Johnny Depp or Buddy Holly, I’m just following Rita’s orders. There comes a point in every man’s life where he realizes that, sometimes, the girlfriend has sovereignty over certain areas of his [...]
