My Lego fetish is not sexual — I promise.
Lego was one of my favourite toys as a child, and I still enjoy it to this day. Compared to other Lego aficionados out there, my appreciation is pretty insignificant. Nevertheless, I was totally blown away by the awesomeness of this Lego creation by Nathan [...]
I came across this video today, which needs to be listened to to be enjoyed, but should not, perhaps, be listened to at work or in another public space. (There are no inappropriate visuals, so in public with headphones is perfectly okay.)
I think this can be enjoyed even if you don’t know much about [...]
Unlike some of my friends, I rarely take any kind of significant interest in politics. I do a bit of research around elections to figure out who to vote for, and then generally leave matters to attend to themselves.
There is, however, one area of politics and law that is of great interest to me, [...]
So, I updated my WordPress installation from the default 2.0.something that came with my hosting account to the latest 2.5.1. Now the back end administrative stuff is all swanky.

The Iron Man character is from what I consider a second-tier of superheroes [...]
Cory Doctorow — writer, blogger, and electronic rights activist — launched his latest novel Little Brother to a packed crowd at the Merril Collection in Toronto on the evening of Thursday, 01 May 2008. Conveniently, I was among that crowd, otherwise this would be a very short blog post.
Oddly enough, I first became familiar [...]
Apparently, I had a lot of rage. But I’m better now. I think I can talk about The Forbidden Kingdom without feeling compelled to destroy all that is in sight. At least, so long as I save frequently.
As I’ve previously mentioned, The Forbidden Kingdom is a movie starring both Jackie Chan and [...]
