Reading today’s Daily WTF? is absolutely worth it for the image at the end.
Only a Coincidence If You Live in a Cave
The iTunes world is all a-twitter over NPR’s story by some guy named Dave about how he found a “musical soulmate” via a random chance encouter of iTunes music sharing:
And the weird thing is, when he went to listen to the music, it was just like his. Everything he had, she had: Beck, the White [...]
Star Wars, Episode VII
I wish the last three Star Wars movies, any of the last three Star Wars movies, had been a fraction as good as this short film is.
“What the hell is an aluminum falcon?!?”
(Post-flu insomnia is finally, finally letting me get caught up on the internet)
“These things go down!”
In my world most of the people I know who play with climbing gear tend to go up first, and then back down. And it’s usually done outside, far from concrete and glass. In a bizarro-land parallel world some crazy folks are doing the exact opposite and it is some fantastic, crazy, balls-to-the-walls exploration: Your [...]
Google Mac Blog
I did not now, until (( this very moment ) - 180000 ) milliseconds, that there was an Official Google Mac Blog. Which is pretty cool in its own right but it’s all the more cooler because über-Mac geek Amit Singh is one of the contributors.

Swami J says (in the simple explanation section):
Yoga is contained within religions.
Religion is not contained within Yoga.
Wisdom, grasshopper, wisdom. [...]
Yes I Have, No I Haven’t
Yes I have seen the new Apple iPhone. No, I probably won’t get one any time soon (even if they do become available in Canada). No I haven’t watched the keynote (I never have). Yes the iTV is fairly exciting. Yes I will probably be getting one of the new Airport Extreme base stations (the [...]
Stretching Leads to Satanism
It’s hard to maintain any sort of respect for religious fundamentalism when it continues to parade the face of inanity like a standard before battle:
A school program to fight childhood obesity that includes yoga is drawing complaints from some Christian parents in the Quesnel area in B.C.’s Cariboo region.

5 Things About…
Alrighty, both Reg and Collin have tagged me for the 5 Things Most People Don’t Know about me meme and as Jonathan Schwartz is playing along too, far be it from me to not to jump in so here goes:
1. I used to work at Science City in Toronto, selling binoculars and telescopes to parents [...]
