Listen, Do You Want to Know a Secret?

“Did that samosa go bad in the car?” My mom asked me this after I drove her home from the north side of town. She was standing in the kitchen sniffing the samosa we’d driven around all day in the event we’d need a snack.

Telus Troubles: The Unexpurgated Version

My phoneless friend, Jason, said I had the gist of his telus horror story right, but there were more details.  here, then, is the full story, direct from him: Well, it’s now been several months since we moved.  We’re getting fairly used to arranging to meet people down at the front door, or we watch for them on the lobby camera.

Retro Driving Thoughts

Yesterday was a retro day for me from start to finish.  I broke in a new “To Do” book, which is my old-school, pen-and-paper way of keeping track of what I have to do.  I do also use a Palm Pilot and Web based calendar and such, but for basically telling me what I’m doing, pen and paper are the way I go.

No Service, No Problem with Telus

It seems like people are piling complaints onto Telus, so let me add my story. My friends Jason and Noriko moved into a new condo in downtown Vancouver on July 22.  That’s 116 days ago.  They have no phone service still.

I Almost Forgot I Almost Died

So, I’m out to dinner at Houston’s (and did you know that Google Maps now integrates ChefMoz listing data?) with some friends (Jae and Karin and Susie and Lance) on a recent trip to L.A. (for friends’ wedding) and the subject comes around to calling 911, i.e., have we ever done it.

Pondering Paris

Susie has a ticket to Paris for later this month—leaving on the 16th.  She’s been very excited about her trip, which would be her and a close girlfriend who’s never been to Paris before. I’m wondering if they should call off the trip.

New Feed Formatting

This is one of those bland notes about my site that is eminently ignorable, except to the tech heads who for some reason visit this site (maybe because they’re my friends?).  I just modified my site’s RSS feed to display how many comments there are for each post, if any.

I’m in a New Place

The move is complete.  Susie and I are in our ninth home in 11 years.  Patrician Way in 1995. Mockingbird Lane. Waldo Ave.  Rue du Faubourg St Martin. Kossuth Lajos Utca.  Grand Ave.  Paloma St.  Hastings St. And now West 13th Ave.

Overheard

“An unexamined life is not worth living.”

...who said it?

“BBFF (Best Bacon Friends Forever)”

...who said it?

“I find myself thinking of a checklist Wozniak wrote a few years ago describing how to become a genius. His advice was straightforward yet strangely terrible: You must clarify your goals, gain knowledge through spaced repetition, preserve health, work steadily, minimize stress, refuse interruption, and never resist sleep when tired. This should lead to radically improved intelligence and creativity. The only cost: turning your back on every convention of social life.”

...who said it?

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream.”

...who said it?

“Ever have something in your teeth that you cannot stop tonguing?”

...who said it?
