By coincidence I found the site of Imogen Heap (her picture was featured on FlickR). I like it, but I’m not into music. I hate music. I’m as you’ve found out, a proud reformed ‘music listener’. Music kills. Secondhand music … Continue reading →

I notice that my ‘/’ (Slash) key is stuck, which is most likely because there’s dirt in between the key and the board. I feel so smart today. My Toshiba laptop manual should explain how to lift off the keyboard … Continue reading →

A lighter note: I see that Sonic Youth (wikipedia) is about to release a new LP/CD, ‘Rather Ripped’, in about a couple of days. Sonic Youth’s site is actually an oasis of older stuff (QuickTime videos, MP3 songs) they did, … Continue reading →

Via the Internet ‘Klangspiel’, I found out that WinZip Computing (formerly Nico Mak Software) has been taken over by Corel Company. Yes, it’s that Corel, the one that creates CorelDraw and that, and oh, yes, the Corel that was supposed … Continue reading →

There’s this totally dry McDonalds (company site) commercial about their latest product, the Junior McChicken1. For some kind of reason, it’s funny but, not really. On the other side, Apple released some other funny ads (online!) that appear to convince … Continue reading →

Thanks to CBC Radio One host Carmen Klassen of Main Street I was reminded of ‘May Day’, or what Europeans know as ‘International Labour Day’. The first thing that sprung in mind was the question if May 1st is an … Continue reading →
