Remembering Johnny

It’s Easter, and today I miss Johnny Hart. The creator of two popular late 20th century comic strips died in 2007. Neither the Wizard of Id nor B.C. is among my all-time favourite strips. I am more partial to Doonesbury, Dilbert, Calvin and Hobbes and Bloom County. Still, most of the time I would find […]

No Post Today – You are Imagining This

I had several ideas for today and have decided that all of them are too controversial for a Thursday. Either that or I have writer’s block. Yes, that must be it.

The Truth About Cats

To say I have a love/hate relationship with my daughter’s cats would be an overstatement. It’s not really that extreme most of the time, though I do think they would be very tasty if barbecued. The black and white one might as well be brain dead, he is too stupid to come inside out of […]

Monday’s Words Of Wisdom

I have no idea where I got this one. I really need to pay more attention when I see these things online. That way at least I can give credit where credit is due. If I was more computer literate I’d fix the grammatical error, but that sort of skill is beyond me.

Christmas Tree Decorations

The Christmas tree seems to be a little more lopsided than usual this year. Ordinarily I would say that was my fault. The division of labour in my family is that I get the tree and ornaments out of storage, set up the tree and attach the lights. My wife and children then place the […]

I apologize in advance for this…

…but I  couldn’t think of anything more appropriate for the third Sunday in Advent! And if you don’t get it, try reading this and this.

I Know You

I know 10 facts about you: Fact 1: You are reading this. Fact 2: You can’t say the letter ‘m’ without touching your lips. Fact 3: You just tried it. Fact 4: You’re smiling. Fact 6: You’re smiling or laughing again. Fact 7: You didn’t notice I missed fact 5. Fact 8: You just checked […]

So You Think I Can Dance?

Computers baffle me at times. I’m not ashamed to admit that. At least I am assuming it is a computer that baffles me, I would hate to think it is a human that has me puzzled in this case. It’s about a job, one that apparently someone, or more likely some machine, thinks I am […]

Computer Cleanup

Okay, I couldn’t resist it. My friend Paul posted this and I had to share it. It is the worst type of word play, but I think it is funny. Anyway, I don’t like my computer telling me what to do. Somehow I don’t think this is what Bill Gates had in mind.  

Lorne’s Law

I vaguely remember studying something called Ohm’s Law when I was a secondary student. I have completely forgotten what it is. Something to do with physics and electricity perhaps. I suppose I could‎ look it up, but I really have no reason to refresh my memory, so I won’t. You can feel free to check […]
