Elevator

2010-10-23T09:25:00.000-07:00

Ok people. Elevator Etiquette. It's time we all learn a thing or two about what not to do in an elevator. Do not stand in the middle of the elevator if you are the only person in it. Seriously do you know how awkward it is to have to stand right beside someone when there is tons of other room in the elevator? It's about as awkward as having to use a urinal when there is only three and one guy is

It is all about the content.

With my business I spend a fair amount of time with Microsoft products, I am also lucky enough to have a unique insight and perpesctive of Microsoft (which I rather enjoy). Today I have a micro-brain storm about the future of Microsoft. This is my prediction, Microsoft IEB will do so well that it will essentially begin to swallow the other divisions. This is my thought; as we begin to see

Honey I'm Home!!!

2010-10-19T20:52:00.000-07:00

Well I'm back. Wow has it been a while. Not much has happened since the last post, let me see. I have had a baby (well actually my wife did), bought a new car, started a new business, sold that new business, hired my first employee, fired that first employee, nothing much else. Still live in the fishbowl as before. Oh yah and I have decided to open up the comments to all, I know, terrible idea.

My Work

2007-03-13T13:53:00.000-07:00

Generally after I meet with a client I replay every word, every gesture and facial flex over and over again in my head. I generally can't help it. It just happens like a sports team reviewing its gameplay. Every gesture, word, tone or anything translates into the experience the client had. Now by the sounds of this you would think that I am a friggin massage therapist or physiotherapist. Well Im

Nothing special...

2007-03-02T09:15:00.000-08:00

Ok so Sony is about to release it's new Sony Home stuff...whatever. It's still too expensive. Heres a question, why do Asian drivers stop about 15 feet back from the stop line? I don't understand it! I'm sure you think that is a racist remark excpet for the fact that it is true. I have only ever seen Asain ladies and men do this in Vancouver. What is the deal? It makes me batty. If anyone does

Mornings

2007-02-21T08:56:00.000-08:00

It is interesting to me that every morning I act like a mentally handicap for the first half hour or so. Making all sorts of stupid noises and arm gestures...Ok time for coffee.

Movie Snow and Computer Rants

2007-02-15T09:51:00.000-08:00

Snow in movies always looks so peacfull and fluffly and fun. The problem is in the movies the snow never melts. Take that movie with those 4 sibling, you know the one..the lion, ice witch one of the brothers makes oyu want to kick him in the eye. and the little funny looking lucy. you got it? ok that movie. Well the are in the snow with fur coats on. Ok I live in BC. Being in heavy snow with a

Shaw vs. Telus

2007-02-10T10:54:00.000-08:00

Yes I did spent my Saturday morning charting out the difference between ISP plans. Yes I am a geek. I get the question very often about which ISP my clients should use so I have decided to spend my Saturday morning putting together some charts that show the difference between Shaw internet service and Telus internet service. The data was taken from the respective website on the morning of January

Fast Food Bullets

2007-02-07T10:10:00.000-08:00

I find it interesting that they print "Respect the Environment" on fast food packaging and such. Isn't that like printing "Try not to kill people" on Bullets?

I'm suing Tim Horton's

2007-01-31T09:13:00.000-08:00

Look at this contretemps (yes its a word, I looked it up, and yes the picture is as bad as I could make it. (For those who can't read my mind, the tim hortons flip up lid ripped in half instead of properly folding up and clicking in place))By the way I wish the cleaning people in my building would stop using the same cleaner juice that they use in the washrooms in the elevator. Everytime I ride

I am awesome...

The longest blog in history

2007-01-29T23:05:00.000-08:00

Oh right....my blog...Lets see..time for my brain dump since that last blog...I decided to start working out again, we have a gym in my building to make it easier, although it is amazing how many excuses you can come up with to not work out even when it only consists of 1)getting changed 2)taking elevator and 3)working out. Far too much work. But I did it, I managed to get off my upper rear

HDTV Rage and Perceptive Pixels

2007-01-19T09:57:00.000-08:00

I found the following link quite hilarious as it is basically exactly what happened about 3,367 times when I bought my brnad new HDTV.Clearly, you must see the humor in high-def televisionAnd this is what I cannot wait for...I want my monitor to be able to do this!! click the link...Perceptive Pixel

Gladiators, robots and coffee

2007-01-17T21:57:00.000-08:00

When people talk about the gladiators way back in the day you generally get comments like "that’s so brutal", "I can't believe people used to watch that stuff..", "total savages"..Well let me tell you people. We have modern day gladiators, it is not football, hockey even the ultra violent UFC...no...It is American idol. An average of 31 million people tune in to watch horribly dissolution people

American Idol sucks, I don't watch it...

2007-01-16T20:12:00.000-08:00

I am watching American Idol at this exact moment. Wow. Now lets put aside hte whole contrived made up what you see is not what you see discussion for a moment and think about these peoples delusion. What is to say we are not completed delusioned ourselves with attributes other than singing? I possibly could be. Maybe I think I am the best IT guy in the whole godamn world. Maybe I am, maybe I

Spilled milk, newspapers and Egg McMuffins

2007-01-16T11:18:00.000-08:00

I spilled my wifes tai chi late all over the side of the car and her face this morning after doing a 10foot balancing dance...it was a rgeat way to start the morning...What is with the newspaper? no wonder I never read it. I was sitting in a waiting room this morning and decided to read the paper. After preceding to unfold the paper into its full 9foot by 6 foot shape I attempted to begin

Grass, Jack and Troy

2007-01-15T21:51:00.000-08:00

grass is greener on the other side. At least that is what I keep hearing, I don't believe it though. My grass, although tiny, is a slightly healthy greenish hue. The good part is it is still growing and its mine. It does tend to change colours rapidly at this young point in its entrepreneurial youth. such is life. So I enjoy watching 24, the show from Fox. Execpt being a techie, it bothers me

Small home

2007-01-13T12:33:00.000-08:00

If you can vacuum the entire floorpsace of your home without having to change the outlet the vacuum is plugged into, then you have a small home. I have a small place. Big windows though so that is great. More people can watch me like a littel fish that way. the good 'ol downtown fishbowl. I miss acreage; trees, grass and actual animals other than samll ugly looking runt dogs. Ok im gonna go

Cart Keys and PS3s

2007-01-12T09:37:00.000-08:00

slow morning, thought I would blog. I went grocery shopping last night...why do I always try to put the cart unlocking key into its own slot everytime? It is always just soo close, like they did it on purpose just to tease people like me. I don't understand why the Nintendo DS is soo big in Japan. Is it the clunky shape? the crummy graphics? or perhaps the lame controls? I don't know...must be

Shaky words and Timestamps

2007-01-10T21:58:00.000-08:00

I had a hard time concentrating this morning. some times it gets like that and I can't read, all the words keep moving around and shaking and crap, takes way to much concetration then what its worth. In any case I managed to cope like usual. My dreams last night were bizarre, I remember that. Thats an interesting discussion...I believe your brain created your memories basically instantly and then

Lazy Subway

2007-01-10T14:06:00.000-08:00

I think it is human nature to do the least amount of work possible; cut the crosswalk, take the elevator for one floor..at least it would make me feel better about all my lazy habits...er I mean energy effecient habits. I went to subway for lunch and none of the 3 people behind the counter could talk english. If they did it was some form of english that I dont speak...so I just began to speak to

Gates, Breakfast and my Wife

2007-01-09T23:23:00.000-08:00

I think Bill gates is Cool. What does that make me?I just saw a utube video of Bill Gates saying that the biggest competition to the Xbox 360 is the Nintendo Wii. Props to nintendo, I hope they sell enough wiis before the novalty of dancing around like an idiot while playing games wears off. I wish I had one...but I prefer to play games half sprawled out on the couch using the least amount of

Breakfast Dinner is Good

2007-01-09T19:24:00.000-08:00

I am going to make a breakfast dinner. Its makes me happy. I love HD TV.The Apple iPhone was officailly launched today, It looks very sweet. I want one. They also annouced the apple iTV, I am a bit surprised it only had a 40Gb HD and video out up to 720P. Im sure they will just roll-out an update for it.I wish I was at CES...I wish my kitchen was clean...

CPUs & Brains

2007-01-09T01:36:00.000-08:00

This thought passed between my ears today as I watched some Discovery HD...We basically continue to develope the cpu further and further, creating multiple core after core providing multiple lanes of data communication between them and devices. What happens when we have a CPU that has hundred or thousands of 'dedicated' or even 'Multi-purpose' cores each with an ability to simultaneously

2007-01-09T00:56:00.000-08:00

hmmm...my first blog.sweet. now I can truly call myslef a geek.but seriously though, I am not going to edit these blogs. you will see lots of reversed letters, words and phrases because my brain likes to do that and I dont argue with it.(some form of dsylexic ppoo)
