Creemore no more?
Ok, maybe that’s a bit hyperbolic but Molson just bought one of the finest small Ontario breweries and I can’t help but feel that it ultimately might not be good for the taste that is Creemore: Molson buys Creemore Springs Brewery:
The company said it will look at expanding Creemore sales to other parts of Canada, […]
Union filesystems in OS X
I have no idea what this is good for but it’s pretty cool nonetheless. Jonathan Rentzsch describes Union filesystems (a term I’d never heard before) in OS X and a simple way of using one: Union Filesystems.
The FeeBSD.org doc on it which states:
The “union” filesystem type allows the contents of several
directories to be merged and […]
Teaching English in Japan
Long, long ago I posted a blog entry about one of the funniest “teaching english in Japan” stories I’d ever read. Now there’s another one: My Kids Are Perverted

Quirks and Quarks as MP3 (and Ogg)
The CBC has made Quirks and Quarks, one of the best science shows on radio, available for download as MP3 and Ogg.
I have fond memories of driving to Toronto or Peterborough with my parents on Saturday mornings and invariably my dad would switch the radio to Quirks and Quarks when we got within range. […]
