I use this as a place to let loose on whatever bugs me, usually at an hour way past my bed time. I *attempt* to keep track of where I am in the world right now and even try to put up pictures. You be the judge. Monday, August 08, 2011. I'm missing all the fun. Rumour has it that summer is here in Vancouver, but for a fleeting second. If you blink, it will disappear on you. I had so much planned for this summer. Not much has panned out. Johnnie Francis Xavier MacIntyre. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

You be the judge. Wednesday, June 13, 2012. Life, post BlackBerry. Due to an unfortunate incident with some snow and a bout of silliness, my dear beloved BlackBerry's keyboard decided to give up on me. And along the way, after trying many older telephones and buying a new one even. You go to the number and when you...

You be the judge. Saturday, February 02, 2013. Dear pet owners of Vancouver. What if, instead of finding and naming stupid hoodlums who broke cars, we used that kind of social power to track down your dog's name and home? Would you want your co-workers to know that you are a bad pet parent? View my complete profile.

Random Thoughts: Oh RIM
http://johnniemacintyre.blogspot.com/2012/06/oh-rim.html
I use this as a place to let loose on whatever bugs me, usually at an hour way past my bed time. I *attempt* to keep track of where I am in the world right now and even try to put up pictures. You be the judge. Thursday, June 28, 2012. I've documented my trials with mobile technology in my past few posts and the story hasn't been great. I was really hoping to move to a new BlackBerry this autumn when a) the BB 10 device would be released and b) my wretched contract with my provider would expire. Still, I...

You be the judge. Monday, June 18, 2012. Another race, done. I ran a relay race today. It was no ordinary race, you run uphill for 10km, then you do the grouse grind, then at the top of the grind, you run up the ski hill portion of the mountain, and run back down. The race is called the Seek the Peak. Life, post Bl...

You be the judge. Monday, June 02, 2014. Take a bow my dear Republic. I have a fraught relationship with the country of my birth. I love it dearly. Inasmuch. Or a mixture of something in between. No. Just the current and present form of the nation. Countries. Die-hard dictatorships who send tanks to run over th...

You be the judge. Sunday, April 28, 2013. A note on obsessive record keeping and its unintended consequences. At the end of the day, rather than using the data to make myself more punctual, I'm enjoying just generating data. For my hikes. In that case, it has really helped. Well, in the I'd-like-to-improve-...So, o...

You be the judge. Saturday, August 24, 2013. Three months into cycling. Probably the hardest of the stuff to adhere to while cycling are the rules. What is the lesson in all of this? I suppose the lesson for me is that there were lots of things I thought were not possible. I never thought I would be comfortable...

You be the judge. Monday, July 11, 2011. Home is where the heart is, right? I shall be home. Some day. But I'll keep my distance from the pachyderm. With a Swedish Model (Miriam Ilorah) providing the sights and a Senagalese composer and singer (Baaba Maal) providing the vocals. home is a hard thing to figure out.
