Took a trip this weekend to see some of the old university crowd in Toronto. Names will be withheld to protect the innocent.. and the not so innocent. ;)Snowfalls have been so few and far between this winter. Why is it that Toronto had to get one of the big ones just on the evening I'm driving in? Weather was fine and roads were clear until I got to Oshawa (I waved Heather, I really did!). Then,

Another story to go into the "Why Internet Dating is a Bad" bin.. ;)Web of Lies Leads to MurderI mean seriously... "Now I know you're a married 47 year old man with kids, but I'm still going to chat with you and let you believe I'm 18.""You're chatting with the woman that I lied to about myself, so I'm gonna shoot you."

This is called the "Monty Hall problem":Suppose you're on a game show, and you're given the choice of three doors: Behind one door is a car; behind the others, goats. You pick a door, say No. 1, and the host, who knows what's behind the doors, opens another door, say No. 3, which has a goat. He then says to you, "Do you want to pick door No. 2?" Is it to your advantage to switch your choice?

After receiving an email from evite.com today, I came to the realization that Evite actually really annoys me. Let me outline how I see the good (there IS some) and the bad.The Good: Effective way to tell everyone you're having a social function and that they are invited. Of course, a mass email accomplishes the same function. The Bad: I have to navigate away from the email to the actual

I usually keep an open mind about stuff and almost always respect the opinions of others. But this past week, I've been made aware of an issue that I just can't relate to at all. And in vey not typical Scott behaviour, I really think something is wrong with these people. What am I referring to, you ask?Guys that *prefer* short hair on women.For definition's sake, let's say short implies above the

Jade got E. Coli at Xmas time and it was one of her favourite things.Oh, and I'm actually talking about this:Giant MicrobesI wasn't kidding though, this is actually one of her favourite stuffed toys now. I actually refer to him as an alien instead of a bacteria, since she loves aliens so much.I'm thinking of getting her another one.. Mono looks pretty cute. Or Ebola. Any other suggestions?Oh,

You see, the way I see it.. it's not truly a vacation unless you push aside as many responsibilities as you can to the side! :)I was on break from Dec 13 till last Friday, but even Friday didn't really seem like a real work day, so I decided to make today my official return to posting.In short, the break was good.

After their dismal start, I get encouraged when I see the word 'surging' used to describe the Senators.Heatley, Senators Stomp PanthersBeating the Panthers is really nothing to rave about, but the team is now 7-3-0 its last 10 games, and over .500 for the first time since the beginning of the season. Heatley has found his touch, Alfredsson is putting in the occasional goal, and the secondary

Jade's been coming up with ideas of what she might like for Xmas. My hopes of her growing up a tomboy are diminishing rapidly, as she definitely has an affinity for girly toys.She has a tendency to pull things out of the air, so some of her ideas I have to laugh off. Recently, she asked for a pony. Not that usual, sure. Oh, but it had to be a pink pony. Of course, pink being her favourite colour

I went with a bunch of folks to TagZone last night.It's basically a cross between Lazer Tag and Paintball. You have the guns and the masks from paintball, only instead of paintballs, your ammo is small marble sized foam balls. Also, instead of running around in a field or forest, you're in a darkened warehouse space with corridors and cubby holes much like Lazer Tag. It has a lot of advantages

I pout a little bit.Now, it's not that I only like hard, heavy music. That's far from the truth. I really like Tori Amos, the Murmurs, Etro Anime and yes, sometimes even Sarah McLaughlin.But when a band lightens their sound, I can't help but feel they've done so to become more marketable. And really you can't blame them, they want to make money just as much as anyone.Listening to some of my older

Check this out, Jade learned a nifty technique for putting on a coat. (Warning: It's a bit dark, you may want to turn up your monitor. My camera sux.)Since she picked it up at daycare, it's now known as the 'Daycare Flip'.Makes me wonder why I never thought of putting on a coat this way. So much more simple! ;)

A coworker of mine, a guy that works on the same project as me, left work last Friday a couple of hours early, complaining about chills. Not so unusual, tis the season.On Monday, he was still not back at work.

Here's an interesting little story.The one who has no gender, Clay Aiken, guest hosted the Regis and Kelly show last Friday. I don't usually watch it, but apparently Kelly has a habit of being a big talker during the interviews and not giving Regis a chance to ask anything. So Clay and Kelly are interviewing Emmitt Smith and Cheryl Burke from Dancing with the Stars when Clay notices he cannot get

Well, I'm starting to dry up on current events material and life stuff in general has been rather slow, so for today here's a favourite family story from years ago:As I might have mentioned in the past, I once had casts on both my feet at the same time. I guess I was about 4 or 5. I have this isolated memory of sitting on the floor in the old family room, the plaster still a bit wet. I couldn't

On Saturday I was over at Rob and Crystal's to watch the UFC 65 PPV.

For a few weeks you've probably seen phrases like "This calls for some celery" or "This is sewious!" as my IM status.These come from the most enjoyable kids' show I've seen in a long time, The Wonderpets. The show utilizes photo-puppetry animation, which means it uses actual photos of animals for the characters. The premise is 3 baby animals, a guinea pig, a duck and a turtle (but really, the

I just read that there is a plan for a remake or a companion of John Carpenter's The Thing.This is kind of cool as The Thing is still one of my favourite movies even 25 years later. It was on TV not so long ago. I stumbled upon it while flicking around and couldn't turn away even though I've seen it countless times. The movie was groundbreaking in terms of the special effects. Remember, this is

The Sens are driving me nuts. (That reminds me of a pirate joke.)They lose 5 of 6 games, including losses to Washington and Boston and then go up against the best team in the Eastern Conference, the Buffalo Sabres. Not only did they beat Buffalo, but they actually looked they knew what they were doing. Even better, they looked like they were having FUN by the end of the game. Now it's awesome

As most of you know, Jade loves dinosaurs. The only thing that comes close to her love of dinosaurs is her odd obsession with aliens. A few weekends ago me, Jade and my folks went to the Museum of Nature, which had just unveiled their new dinosaur exhibit and a small part of the new mammals exhibit. They've done an excellent job with the dinosaurs. Many more skeletons and displays, plus they've

Ok, Noel you opened the door by mentioning Transformers in yesterday's post. :)I can now confess that I too, was a big Transformers fan. In fact, I've still got 50+ (complete with boxes) in the closet of my parents house. I will also confess that I'm very excited about the live action Transformers movie due out next summer. And, I must confess, I find these really, really cool:Transformers

I'm thinking of becoming a Pastafarian.I mean come on, how could you not be into a religion that states that pirates are "absolute divine beings" and that the global warming is related to decline in their numbers?One thing's for sure, I have to get my hands on that bumper sticker:Be sure to read about its origins, it's actually pretty good.

Apparently Elton John wants to ban religion.Of course, I really don't think he's being completely serious but you can understand his frustration.

Guns n Roses tickets went on sale for the Ottawa show a couple months ago. To give some background, I was ALL about GnR in high school, especially since I was in a garage band and we hammered out (ok, tried. We were young!) a bunch of GnR tunes. I hummed and hahhed about going, because I knew it was only Axl, and MY GnR includes Duff, Slash and Izzy, or at least 2 of the 3. Ultimately, I decided

Check out this CNN video for a controversy regarding hot nurse stereotypes:Hello, Nurse!I think this is much ado about nothing, then again I'm a guy and not a nurse. It's just a gimmick no worse than Hooters. If there are people out there who really think nurses in the hospital are there to do anything else than do nursey stuff, I don't know them.Did you see the size of those burgers tho? Wow!!

Well, because of YouTube slowness and the fact that I'm down to less than 1.5 hours to post, I'll have to modify today's topic from my original intent.

Hockey's been on for a month, and I haven't mentioned it once. For shame.There are two constants with the Senators so far this season:- When they win, they win big.- If a game is close, they will lose.Ok, maybe you could argue that it's really one constant. But really, it's as if there's two different teams and victory depends on which one comes out to play.Early in the season (about 4/5 games in

With video game quality improving leaps and bounds every year it seems, it's only natural their marketing would follow.This is the ad (I almost typed trailer, but cripes it feels like a movie trailer!) for Gears of War for the XBox 360. The game itself looks phenomenal, but the ad itself is so well done.Plus, they use that Tears for Fears cover by Gary Jules I like so much. Big points there too.

A colleague at work died yesterday after a long battle with cancer. I'd never met her in person since she worked out of the North Carolina office, but I spent countless hours on the phone with her, working out issues and coming up with ideas. She was always a pleasure to work with. While admittedly there are some that make your job harder, she was always a help. I've missed her since she's been

Just read in the paper that the average household income for a family in the 'Kanata South' riding is over $95,000!Holy crap! I know real estate here is getting crazy, but now I understand how these folks can afford to buy those 300, 400K monster houses.I know this is really a sign of how many families have become double income, but standard of living costs usually adapt to what families can

I don't need to go thru the "what's not to like" regarding Ben Affleck. Ok, maybe I'll hit the highlights: He's an overated actor He's annoying His fame does not match his talent He acts like an idiot. All the time. Now comes this interview with Anne-Marie Losique from 2004. To summarize, he either is drunk or acts drunk, hard to tell. But he basically acts like an idiot the entire time

So it looks like the City of Ottawa is considering a crackdown on idling cars and buses: CFRA.comOn the surface, this looks like a good idea. However, I also heard that the costs associated with this potential crackdown (hiring more bylaw officers, providing them vehicles, etc.) is projected to be around $750,000.Do you think this is worth it? Ottawa's got a history of spending mismanagement,

As many of you know, Jade has taken a shine to aliens. She now always asks me if she can watch any movie with aliens in it. Lately, her favourite movie has been Signs. She's watched it from beginning to end more than once, and throughout the movie she talks about when the alien is coming up, whether he's going to be a good alien or a bad alien, etc. She doesn't actually get very 'scared', it's

Two examples: Earlier this year, one of my colleagues was poking fun at me because I had lost my gym bag and I was using a plastic bag (classy, I know) for all my stuff when going to the gym at work. I kept saying "I'll get one soon, I'll get one soon". This went on for about a month. Then I participated in the Tour Nortel and raised more than $500. The 'Surprise Special Reward' given to those

So, the very night of reading The Waghorns account of kitchen appliance mishaps, I had my own incident.Was about to boil pasta, got the water in pot, pot on the stove, turned the burner on. Two minutes later, I hear something bubbling and think to myself "Gee, that was fast." I look at the stove to see that I turned on the wrong burner. Lying on top of this burner, was a plastic kitchen utensil.

First off, this was a horrible event. It's amazing only one person was killed, when 20 were shot. Big kudos to the police and paramedics.I've got two observations to make:1) Publishing pics and information about the shooter is exactly what he wanted. He wanted to leave his mark. Of course, his name has to be released but I wish media would leave it at that. Instead, they publish pictures of him

They basically take a current event, controversy, policy, law or organization and debunk it as complete bullsh*t. Of course, it IS based on their opinions on each matter, so obviously there is SOME bias but they do a fairly good job at presenting both

In the span of a month, I've started teaching two people guitar. Which is kind of funny, since I've always felt that even though I know chords well and can transition through them enough to play and sing a few songs, my technique overall isn't that good.

We notice out the window a Taurus on the road, steam billowing from under the hood. It pulls into a lot across the street. Out gets the driver, the very definition of

Got back this afternoon from seeing my old University pal Jordan get married.. never seen a guy grin so much than he was yesterday. Congrats to him and Natacha!It was really a great weekend, so much of the old university crew was there.. Jordan, Beetle, Mark, Sarah, Halle.. people I haven't been able to hang out with in a long time.The Friday night Sarah, Halle (my date for the event), and Mark

Didn't get a chance till now to talk about the bachelor party I went to last weekend.. it's been busy times both at home and at work. When they announce another 1900 layoffs, you want to make sure people see you working!So yeah, my buddy Sasha who's getting married in Mexico (lucky bastard) had his bachelor party last Friday in T dot.

Hey folks...Sorry if you've missed my postings. Busy-ness (both work and socially) knocked me out of the habit and I've found it tough to get back into it. I've found lots of stuff to talk about in the meantime, so let's start with this article:http://www.cbc.ca/story/world/national/2006/06/13/afghan-attack.htmlYou may want to read it outloud to get the full effect. Did you spot the hilariousness

So much for expert hockey analysis:Maggie's PicksMaggie the Macaque is guaranteed to beat the TSN's hockey experts in this year's playoff predictions. She's currently 9-5, and not even Bob McKenzie (7-7) can catch her now.For those that don't know, Maggie spins a wheel for each playoff series to pick a winner. The fact that she picked Carolina and Edmonton in the final, while the experts picked

One skill Jade seems to have picked up on is to identify the things that bother me and throw them in my face (said very lightheartedly). It seems her natural female personality is coming through (said again, very lightheartedly)!My Mother (of all people) during the 2nd round of the playoffs taught her to say "Go Sabres Go!"

Although it never really used to irk me, I'm now finding it an issue. You see, I like loud music. Always have. My first album was Twisted Sister - Stay Hungry when I was 9 years old. What does that have to do with bikes on sidewalks? Glad you asked.My house is semi-detached, and half the time I've got my little girl with me. These factors prevent me from turning up the stereo as loud as I want. I

A little history. My backyard for years has been off limits to humans. That's where the dogs went. Yes, of course we cleaned up once in a while but overall it has always been a dark, scary, smelly place.It's basically been left to go wild since the melting of the snow. Seriously, it's been looking like Lorne Greene's New Wilderness out there (there's an 80s reference for you). I expected to see

So yeah, I've been ignoring this space for a while.I knew if I posted this week I'd just ranting about Sens. But I'm past that now.Things have been good, life brings drama now and then, but I've learned the art of adaptation. Take it and roll with it. Recognize what you have power over and what you don't. Most of all, play nice.First order of business, how'd I do with Round 2 predictions? Well, I

The good part was that the 3 - 5 km stretch that used to be on a dirt road is gone. The downside

I'll be quick...The East----------Ottawa (1) vs. Buffalo (4)Prediction: Ottawa in 6Buffalo's got a good team. They are fast, skilled, deep and have a hot rookie goalie. Trouble is, Ottawa is exactly the same only better. Buffalo did so well against Philly because they couldn't handle their style. Now Buffalo faces a team just like them. Now Buffalo DID beat the Sens regularly (ok, twice) near the

Luckily, the Sens woke up. This could have been a much closer series. Tampa did not get any secondary scoring and our secondary scoring (Fisher, Havlat and Schaefer) played like a first

Every year I participate in Tour Nortel, a cycling, skating, walking charity event for CHEO, the local kids hospital. This year, they're offereing a 70km cycle. Never one to shy away from a challenge, I'm going to give it a go. Last 3 years I've done only the 30km, but have felt like I had more gas in the tank. I used to do the 50km, but that was a few years ago now! I haven't been on my bike

Yesterday Jade learned to sing her first complete song chorus:"Cheer up sleepy Jean!Oh, what can it mean to aDaydream believer and a Homecoming queen!"(Name that song and artist)She then proceeds to repeat this a dozen times. She doesn't have bad pitch either!Of course, she won't sing in front of other people so everyone I tell think I'm just making it up. I might just have to get it on tape.

Ottawa - 4 unanswered goalsColorado - 5 unanswered goalsNew Jersey - 5 unanwered goalsMontreal *6* unanswered goalsThe Ottawa game - how many Sens fans out there were feeling exactly what I was after 2 periods. Peppering Tampa with shots and no goals, they get a goal on a 5 on 3, the Sens not acting the way the did all year. "Aw, shit. Here we go again." Whatever Murray said to them in the 3rd

Restless sleep, loss of appetite. Must be playoff time.I'm going to do each round as it comes.The East--------Ottawa (1) vs. Tampa Bay (8)Prediction: Ottawa in 5Ottawa has dominated Tampa during the regular season. They are now 100% healthy except for Hasek, but Emery has been good enough and the D in front of him is the best in the league. Tampa Bay has HGUE weapons, but goaltending has let them

What a year.The NHL needed something special coming off of the lockout year. They were very smart to introduce the rule changes (clamping down on clutching/grabbing/hooking) and even though controversial, the shootout has breathed new life into the league.There are a few things I want to mention about this year.1) The Outstanding Rookie CropTSN's Bob McKenzie basically beat me to it. He mentioned

Lately, when I have a free minute or two, I've been playing this webgame called Text Twist. It's basically a 6 letter word jumble, like in the papers. The only diff is that you have to make as many words (3 letters and up) as possible from the letters. You only need to get the 6 letter word to move on to the next round. You get a bonus if you get ALL the words.My high score is 100,500. Give it a

One of the cool things Jade does now is tell you a story. Usually it something funny that happened or how she fell and hurt herself. Sometimes, I just can't tell cause she talks a mile a minute and I can only make out the occasional word.Yesterday, she was telling me a story which I was listening to attentively, not being to make out a word of it until the last two words: "Clothes off!" This gave

I must say, even though I predicted at the beginning of the season that the Leafs wouldn't make the playoffs, they sure made it close. They did everything they had to do to stay in the running, but Tampa Bay sealed their fate last night. Thank you, Martin St. Louis.Sens fans hate the Leafs almost as much as they love their own team, so the city is in mini-celebration mode today, myself

It's funny how much press the Western Conference playoff race is getting. Now that it's pretty much down to "Will it be Edmonton or Vancouver that gets the 8th spot", it really should be a moot point. I love my Canadian teams (ok, 5 of them) but whoever gets the 8th seed is going to be SMOKED by Detroit. Neither Edmonton or Vancouver are playing well at all, and Detroit has been on their biggest
