Red Lights and Friday Nights

James H. posted an article on - Jan 13, 2012, 10:25 pm
I have a story to share about what happened to me on the way to CinqASept Guelph this evening. Now this is a story that I probably wouldn’t typically share, but the circumstance was a bit too crazy to let it pass without sharing. I had talked with Corina about going to CinqASept Guelph, which is ...

Quitting Caffeine

James H. posted an article on - Dec 3, 2011, 12:17 pm
It 3 weeks ago I was on Facebook and ran across a post by my friend Lucas Duguid(@octopusred on the Twitters) mentioning that he was on day 1 of quitting caffeine. I myself had been thinking for awhile that I wanted to lay off caffeine, but seeing Lucas had started on his own journey to conquer his ...

Noel Gallagher in Toronto November 7th, 2011

James H. posted an article on - Nov 8, 2011, 11:04 pm
I had the opportunity to see Noel Gallagher and his High Flying Birds at Massey Hall yesterday. Just wow. I’ve been to many an Oasis concert, to the point I’ve actually been bored with the show if I happened to see them twice on the same tour. Oasis has been pretty notorious for the fact they pl...

RIP The Dude

Yesterday was a pretty shitty day for me. It wasn’t supposed to be, but as it turns out the die was already cast on Friday for my life to change, I just didn’t know it yet. Corina and I spent the weekend in Halifax and had a pretty good time. we flew out Friday afternoon and flew back Sunday ni...

The Power of Lucky Bamboo

James H. posted an article on - Oct 2, 2011, 11:16 pm
I may be crazy, but I’ve long believed in the power of lucky bamboo.  I’ve had a bamboo plant for 8 years now, typically in my office. Now according to Chinese tradition, the number of stalks has meaning.  Typically the rule is you want to avoid having odd numbers of bamboo shoots, as it is ba...

Tough Times

James H. posted an article on - Sep 17, 2011, 11:43 am
I’ve been fortunate in my life not to have dealt with loss.  I’m 31 years old and I’d say I’ve been lucky to have avoided the heartache of losing someone really close to me.  Sure people have died, but nobody that impacted my life on a regular basis.  I’ve lost all my grandparents, but ...

Switching To TekSavvy Cable Internet

James H. posted an article on - Sep 3, 2011, 12:11 pm
I recently made the jump to TekSavvy for the internet and wanted to share my experiences about the whole transition.  Now I’m not new to TekSavvy, we had at 2 different times had them as our service provider for DSL. Originally we had them when we rented a place in Cambridge.  We were quite happ...

Why the Thrashers and not the Coyotes?

James H. posted an article on - May 21, 2011, 7:03 pm
This week news broke that the Atlanta Thrashers could be very close to returning NHL hockey back to Winnipeg. As a Canadian I greet this positively, as I feel hockey should be played in locales that want and understand the sport. Growing the game is great and all, but hemorrhaging money on losing ...

Why isn't Domino's new recipe available in Canada?

James H. posted an article on - Jan 22, 2011, 9:52 pm
If you recall back at the start of 2010 Domino’s Pizza ran an ad campaign in the US about the process they went through in putting together their new pizza recipe.  They cited focus groups and customer comments that cite their crust is like cardboard, their cheese is processed garbage and their s...

Cambridge really needs to grow up

James H. posted an article on - Nov 13, 2010, 7:29 pm
I’ve lived in the Cambridge area for over 3 years now.  I’m a transplant from down the road in Paris so I’ve had the experience of seeing Cambridge from a far as well, having been in the area for 16 years since I first moved to Southwestern Ontario.  I’ve lived in Galt, Clyde and considere...

The Expanding Digital Divide

James H. posted an article on - Oct 24, 2010, 10:40 pm
This weekend being Thanksgiving here in Canada I’ve had a chance to see a lot of friends and family. One topic that came up a couple times was about Facebook and those who choose not to partake in social media. My sister-in-law mentioned that she was far too busy with everything else in her life...

Sitting Here In Silence (On My Own)

James H. posted an article on - Sep 5, 2010, 11:27 pm
It’s been awhile since I blogged, but for that I make no apologies. Life gets busy and inherently stuff like blogging tends to go by the wayside as a biproduct. But during this time I can’t help but feel like something was missing. Inherently blogging is something that is a part of me, someth...

Life heading in a new direction

James H. posted an article on - Jun 2, 2010, 8:02 pm
I’m finally getting around to writing a long overdue blog post about what’s been going on in my life lately.  Why my life has been so hectic is that I took a new full time position as a web designer for a local Cambridge company.  I choose not to divulge where here, but if you really need to k...

My Digg iPad finally arrived

James H. posted an article on - May 11, 2010, 10:51 am
Here’s the unboxing video that a few people had wanted me to do when I got my iPad. I did some editing to the video, as it took me forever to unwrap the bubble wrap with one hand.  I think the back design by Colorware looks gorgeous with the matte finish and everything.  Thanks so much to Digg,...

Smells Like Team Spirit? What?!?

James H. posted an article on - Apr 30, 2010, 9:50 am
I know I’m getting old and all, but this to me seems shocking.  Almost without question the definitive song of the 1990′s and the Grunge era as a whole is Nirvana’s Smells Like Teen Spirit.  The Google bar suggests possible popular searches that might be what you’re looking for, so the fac...

As Seen On TV, a tribute to ineptitude

Infomercials have long been something that have amused me quite a bit. I always found it hilarious it was watching how inept the people in the commercial were at the given task this new miracle device being shilled would magically solved.  All set to the sounds of The Beatles HELP!

Sens/Pens preview – Let the playoffs begin!

The playoffs kick off tonight with my Senators playing the defending champs, the Pittsburgh Penguins. I’m so looking forward to the Sens kicking some Penguin butt. All year watching the standings I was hoping the Sens would get a crack at the champs in the playoffs. Many of the series previews ...

Today has been a pretty lucky day for myself.  Earlier today I won a bowling party at Frederick Lanes in Kitchener.  This was quite funny because I had just dropped my business card off 2 days earlier, after attending a free bowling party that a Twitter friend had won and invited me to.  This is ...
