My first week with the Blackberry Pearl 8100
In: Life
3 May 2008Last week a colleague, who had been forced by corporate policy to switch to a Verizon Treo, donated his Blackberry Pearl 8100 to me.
It was a Cingular/ATT locked phone. I unlocked it, stuck my T-Mobile card into it, and upgraded my plan to the unlimited data plan. I the MIS department at work add an [...]

Paul Fisher dies at 93
In: Life
12 Dec 2006Over the last two years, Fisher Space Pans have taken on near iconic status with the leaders (and followers) in the trendy nouveau geek crowd.
Paul Fisher died recently at 93. [via Notebookism]
Having “donated” four space pens to the cosmos through my own absent-minded behaviour, I can say that I have done my bit to help [...]
Discovering Nick Drake
In: Life
2 Sep 2006On a recent musical connect the dots tour through Wikipedia, I stumbled across a reference to Nick Drake. I had first heard of Nick Drake through a review of his work on All Things Considered months ago.
The sound is ephemeral. The sound is haunting. The sound is a lost gem of our time.
It has shocked [...]

Never Eat Alone: The Introvert’s Review
In: Uncategorized
27 Aug 2006I sat down and finally read my copy of Never Eat Alone, by Keith Ferrazzi. Well, I agonizingly got my way through 80% of the book before I threw it across the room in disgust.
What a load of crap.
There might be a message in the book somewhere. But the book is mostly about Mr. Ferrazzi’s [...]
Coming up for air
22 Jun 2006I am still swamped at work, but I have a glimmer of space available to me, so I thought that I would drop by and let everyone know what’s happening.
We are well on our way to being ready for the trip to BC and Alberta that starts Monday (June 26). We have a dining room [...]

Feeds and the Blink Test
In: Blogging
10 Jun 2006Reading anything using a feed reader allows prevents us from discriminating against the content.
Start with an inflammatory statement, then back it up, using the wisdom gleaned from Malcolm Gladwell’s Blink. Why do feeds prevent us from initial discrimination? Because we have no point of reference other than the text in front of us, and the [...]
Chitika: It’s all Jeremy’s Fault
In: smp
6 Oct 2005So, Jeremy turned me on to Chitika this morning, hence the new ads you see.
Turns out that their offices are less than 10 minutes from my house.
Heh.
We will see what the head-to-head comparison between Chitika and AdSense will be.
The Art of Project Management
In: smp
23 May 2005Scott Berkun’s The Art of Project Management: Buy it.
If it is half as good as Scott’s online essays, it will be an amazing read. And he is like a kid in a candy store!
Merlin of 43Folders has a great review of the book. I wandered out at lunch to buy it.
I need to stop reading [...]
You have read the book..you flaunt the acronym..what are you doing about it?
In: GTD| Notebook Lust
18 May 2005Merlin at 43Folders hits for six with this post that, in summary, says
GTD: What are you doing to make it happen in YOUR life?
In the world of GTD, having a Moleskine and a HipsterPDA doesn’t cut it folks. It’s hard. It requires discipline. It requires dedication.
It’s mental exercise.
Having failed at several physical exercise program over [...]
The Old Fort Garry — FLAMED
In: smp
14 May 2005Jeremy Wright flames the Old Fort Garry Hotel in Winnipeg. [here and here]
There has been a thread in many blogs that indicates that there is an inverse relationship between the price and “quality” of the hotel, and the services offered, especially to the digerati generation.
As I have said before, I will take a Courtyard Marriott, [...]
