Seriously, it kills my browser at work (Firefox) and at home (Chrome). Sometimes I get hang ups for 5 or 10 seconds. Even when it's not freezing. Scrolling up and down I get about 1 fps jumps rather than a smooth scroll. And I can't tab out while things load because it's the browser that's...

I'm starting to look at new cars. Probably won't by one right now, but maybe in the near future. I'm not much of a motorhead though. Currently I have a '91 Honda Civic hatchback 4 speed manual handed down from my grandpa to my dad to me. I like it a lot, and it gets great mileage, but it's...

Today instead of working, I designed a Valentine's Day card, and I share it with you. All you need is card stock and a razor blade. Most of the lines can be free handed. The only important thing is that the folds are symmetrical about the centre line. You could probably fold the...

I was making dinner tonight and went to way into the back of the fridge and found a really old cabbage. Low and behold, it had gotten itself pregnant with another cabbage. It just grew right out of the old mouldy one. Now I have fresh cabbage and it's been over half a year since I bought...

So I climbed some spires in British Columbia and wanted to make you all jealous. That is all.

You know, when your train of thought just kind of runs along on its own when you aren't doing anything. I think most people have this right? Anyways when my mind goes on like that, I always feel like I'm talking to someone when I'm thinking. It's kind of like I'm explaining myself or justifying...

I'm not much of a car person, but I like to think I'm pretty handy in general. I've got a '91 Honda Civic hatchback. It's a 4 speed manual transmission, for it's age it's in very good condition. The problem is that the rear bumper bracket is nearly rusted out. Several bolted connections have...

Parasitic websites that lead you in with... Websites that just steal content and post it like it's a blog, or worse, they pretend like they have content, then link you to another site that actually has the content. Only when you follow that link you just get a lot of pop ups and they want you...

Title sums it up. I just felt like doing this to give it a try. I feel like it might be a good exercise of willpower and maybe shake up the routine a little bit. I am shooting for next Tuesday/Wednesday. Monday is not an option, but maybe if you're single it would be a good day. I will...

I just got through half of season 7 of 24. I remember watching season 2 and really getting into it, but all I can think of this season is, "wait that doesn't make any sense". Dubaku has an "insurance policy" for in case he is assassinated which will expose everyone to the Justice Department...

Just got back from the store and the checkout girl forgot to take off the security tags of some clothing that was packaged. The tags were put on the clothing, and the clothing was put into boxes. Anyways, it didn't trip the security alarms for whatever reason, so I got home with two merino wool...

Just got back from a screening. Really makes me want to jump around and punch things. Christian Bale is for sure getting an Oscar nomination. The plot is regular boxing movie. Beat down Boston suburb scrappy fighter with crazy trashy family rises from the ashes to awesomeness. There is a big...

Double Teamed Honourable Mention: Snatch Naked Lunch

Alpine experience is a bit of a Catch-22. The only place to build experience is out on the peaks, but you need experience to know what you are getting into. Some mountaineers have mentors to show them the ropes, or can afford guides and courses. Without these things, tackling summits as an...

So my girlfriend just got a new upstairs neighbour in her apartment and the woman is a menace. Last night we're having sex and she starts stomping on the floor right above the bedroom. Then at 1 am, she starts lifting and dropping the table and stomping the floor. Plaster is falling down from...

Don't know if it's been posted here yet, looks pretty intense. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EnamMtQs1fI

Just watched the first two seasons of this show. What I can't figure out is what year it is supposed to be set in. They are using typewriters and film cameras, but then a tc1100 tablet PC (made in 2003) shows up in season 2. There are a few lap tops scattered around too. Anybody know? It is...

Once upon a time, a man worked hard and supported a large family. He was a real powerhorse, raking in the $$$! But there was a problem--his extraordinary energy was boosted by meth, bought from dealers who were thugs--some who hated him. So the man decided he had to build his own meth lab, in...

Did anyone else notice that all of the off topic forums are now hidden. I thought they had been removed. Then I logged myself in and suddenly they show up again. How long ago did this happen?
