Here's a link. Something to do with a guy trying to track down the painter/farmer behind a painting of a crop circle-y formation thing in Iowa. Probably not that interesting, but hey, you gotta break a few omelettes to realize you shoulda stuck to scrambled eggs.

Happy Birthday Kit Ro!

I was away, so that is my excuse. Su-An brought this to my attention.

Happy Belated Birthday Soviet Army.

Another internet thing:
ET thing
It's a music video, the plot of which happens to be a summary of the demise of the ET game for Atari, one of the crappiest games in history. I played it once upon a time, with some of the previous generation of Westgaters. Possibly in Bill's house, though I could be wrong.

In other news, I've got a cold and feel like ass, so I'll be accepting donations for the duration of my ailment.

Woo internet trends.

Brig Rid Meets Prince of Persia

All I gotta say is that it's got beautifull scenery in spades - oh, and there's an even finer story behind it all....

Somtimes, yes, this is how life feels to me...

THE ROAD NOT TAKEN
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

And I wouldn't wish it any other way!!!!

Just got back from snowboarding all day at Whistler. More fresh powder than you can shake a stick at, it was nuts.
I found this article on Digg. In my opinion it's pretty damn cool. See for yourself:
Polyphasic Sleep
It's about this guy who adapted to a polyphasic sleep cycle, ie. taking short 30 min naps several times a day, and never actually having a full night of sleep. It adds up to about 3 hours of sleep per day, and his days just keeping on rolling on and blurring together. How crazy is that? Just think how much more life you get to live. I should have gotten Matt to try this back when he was sleeping all kinds of weird hours.

Even on vacation, I have this uncanny ability to update you people on the utmost important things.
Like so:

More Shatner!
You can never have enough Shatner!

Just cause I thought we should all remember this - it's Winnipeg, Jan. 12, and like 1 degree Celsius outside? Can I have spring for my birthday?!

A classmate of mine found this guy's blog. He basically has an immense image collection and decided to post every 30th image on his computer.... it makes for an amusing read.

Enjoy the time wastey goodness

Just when I thought there really was nothing useful on the Internet, I came across this:
Abe Vigoda plugin
That's right, a plugin for Firefox that gives up to the minute reports of whether Abe Vigoda is currently alive.
Abe Vigoda Status page
Wow. God bless the Internet.

Happy New Year, everyone!

Here's what my sister has to say about 2006: It's 1003 times 2, and 1003 is 59 times 17, therefore 2006 is 59 times 34.

Yeah, she did those calculations in her head in like 5 seconds...

She scares me sometimes.
