I’m not crazy, my wage isn’t any different than my dads…. May 15th 2008 Posted in politics. I’ve had this suspicion that something is deeply wrong with the economy. I make a respectable salary as a geek but with a family and only my income we’re barely scraping it together every month. Statistics Canada has released a report. Which shows that I’m not the only one feeling this squeeze. Linda McQuaig interprets the outcomes here. This can’t be good. It’s the hormones talking.

July 15th 2005 Posted in geek stuff. A recently published study shows that self-indulgence is easier for humans to handle than abstinance. Choosing work over play leads to regrets about having missed out on the pleasures of life. Over time, these regrets intensify, while guilt about indulging tends to fade. So what does this say about protestant work ethic and other christian values and western society? I believe Denis Leary put this well when he says that. Carpe Diem’);. It’s the hormones talking.

June 16th 2005 Posted in parental. Well, this is it. The beginning of a blog. The park is dead in June ( 500 visitors per day according to one staffer) this is definitely the way to go. All fathers days spent at home will entail a trip to the local water park methinks. We”ll definitely be “doing that again daddy”! It’s the hormones talking. Theme Redesigned by Kaushal Sheth.

This post will be obsolete in 36 hours. July 08th 2006 Posted in geek stuff. Be warned that this story — and any other on the web — will be barely read by anyone 36 hours after it was first posted. The first graph is from this article on Pareto Distribution. The second image is from this manual. So this article is referring to articles which are already obsolete and will itself be obsolete very shortly…so the web really must be about the long tail for this to be useful in the long term…’.

Leave your earwax alone…. August 29th 2008 Posted in health. Guidelines have just been published. In the US on earwax. Basically, leave it alone, it serves an important biological function and all the fiddling folks generally do to remove it often just causes it to become impacted. If you wear a hearing aid or something else that is likely to cause impaction, visit a doctor every 6 months to make sure everything is ok/to get it cleaned about by someone who won’t hurt your ears.
