Monday, Monday, MONDAY!

2011-06-20T23:56:00.002-06:00

Another week another recap!Things are getting pretty slow at work right now. If there isn't anything for me to really chew on tomorrow I'm going to get John to find something for me. With my luck it's going to be something terrifying.We had a farewell potluck for Bob today. He's resigning as the associate director of IT at the end of this month. Bob is pretty awesome, so I hope I see him around.

Another week, more missed dates

2011-06-20T08:30:00.003-06:00

So I guess this will cover Friday and the weekend. Prepare for a long one! (That's what she said)FridayEverybody's working for the weekend! Well most of us, anyway. Friday was pretty incident free at work. Worked on a user's computer that needed to be rebuilt after a possible intrusion, and sent many a ridiculous email. The biggest thing of note was probably all the rain that appeared that I was

Thursday already?

2011-06-16T23:58:00.002-06:00

I can't believe how fast time is passing by right now. It's already Thursday, and it's already the middle of June. Blows my mind.Today I spent almost all of my day at work trying extract bookmark information from a database file for Google Chrome for a user who installed Chrome without authorization and had been working in it for quite a while and had all his work bookmarks in it. We effectively

2011-06-16T12:41:00.005-06:00

Wow, second day and I already forgot. I'm a champ. Alright, let's just pretend it's Wednesday...Today was pretty decent. Was not recovering from my time hanging out with Mr. Jack Daniels, so that was a plus. Had to redo some of the work we did on Tuesday because Q missed some and mislabelled other, and then there was just a bunch of ones we didn't do because we didn't think we had to but we

In which our hero tries starting something new

2011-06-14T23:53:00.002-06:00

Alright. I don't blog NEARLY enough, as evident by my last post being from January, and I can't remember all the cool things I do because, well, I suck at remembering things. So what I'm going to try and start doing is this;Every night, after I get into bed and open my laptop to read the last of the Internet news for the night, I'm going to write what I did that day. No matter how boring or

Resolutions of 2011 - Oh hai thar, cliche!

2011-01-20T11:58:00.003-06:00

This is a repost of the Facebook note I wrote at the beginning of the year. I love reposts. They're warm.I've no problem perpetuating the cliche of New Years resolutions. Taking a look back at the past year and thinking critically of what you'd like to change moving forward is a good personal task, and can be very difficult. Looking back at 2010 there's no doubt that it was one of the greatest

The films that shape us

2010-12-20T11:19:00.004-06:00

I remember being a kid and seeing a lot of different movies on TV, and watching home-taped VHS tapes that my dad made for me. I remember watching Beethoven 15 minutes at a time every morning before school when I was in early elementary. I remember renting Rock A Doodle Doo from Blockbuster, watching it so many times before it was due back that my dad connected two VCR's together and copied the

November 17th, in which Steve had a sinus headache, watched a documemntary about Yoga, and thought about what he's doing.

2010-11-17T18:15:00.002-06:00

In which he sits at home and wonders where to go and what to do. Not this evening or tomorrow or even on the weekend. In which he sits at home and wonders where to go and what to do, to assert himself and become great, or to stay at a level of being where he does not input more energy that it takes to walk. In which he sits at home and imagines what he may become, or what he may continue to be.

Had a dream

2010-06-28T08:57:00.003-06:00

I had a dream last night and I keep remembering parts of it as I see things today. Here's what I've got so far:I think we were camping, in a big trailer, I'm not sure where. Nick, Braden, Will, Tony, Corey, Cheap, pretty much all of 613 and their girls. And Ryan too. The trailer was really long and kinda wide, almost like one from a trailer park, but in the woods. Maybe we were at the lake. I

Diet experiment, March 2010 (Preview)

2010-03-27T08:38:00.002-06:00

As many of my friends already know, I've been doing a little diet experiment through the month of March. Well, there's only three days left, so I'll be trying to do a writup on it when it's finished. I'll say right now that it's so far so good! I'll have a full premis and outcome written up, with all of my misadventures and keen discoveries. Until then, ciaoabunga!

An activity pledge to myself

2010-01-10T13:59:00.001-06:00

I'm taking this from the Facebook note I wrote yesterday and slapping it here for prosperity sake. Enjoy! Well, it's the new year, and I'm sure lots of people have made resolutions for 2010. One of my resolutions for this year is to be a lot more active, and get myself back to a practible level of fitness. I don't want to run a marathon or lift obscene amounts of weight, I just want to be healthy

Revel...Stoke?

2009-08-13T21:21:00.003-06:00

Okay, so this one'll be two days in one. Partly because I didn't type anything up last night, and partly because there wasn't a whole lot to write about, until the evening anyways. Yesterday we left Victoria at around 11, I think, and while we were waiting to board the ferry I checked Facebook, and noticed that Nick had written on our friend Eriks wall, saying he was going to be in Revelstoke. I

Victoria, Victoria

2009-08-11T23:47:00.004-06:00

Well, today was our day in Victoria. I'd say it was a pretty good day. We started off having a quick bit of breakfast in the morning, mostly just some toast and juice. I like toast and juice. And raspberry jam. I had apple jelly though, haha. The first thing we did as part of the actual day after breakfast was to go visit Aunty Bea. Well, my great great aunt I think, mom's great aunt... Something

Day three of our adventure, and we’re sitting in Victoria right now, visiting with Dode while I try to get onto the neighbour’s wi-fi. We visited the German Consulate today, and while we didn’t get as far as we thought we would in the process of getting the German passport, we didn’t really walk away empty handed. We got some good information, I think. The documents that mom brought with her don

The adventure continues

2009-08-09T23:50:00.002-06:00

We're in New Westminister right now in BC, staying with mom's friend Margaret from back in the school days. Yup, we're sitting in the back yard right now as they reminisce over the old days. Tomorrow morning we'll be leaving bright and early to get down to the German Consulate in Vancouver to submit all of mom's paperwork for this German passport process.We left Jasper at about 10am today, later

The road to adventure

2009-08-08T22:36:00.005-06:00

Well, we're in Jasper right now, staying with my cousin (second cousin technically... I think) Shawn. I've always liked Jasper, it's got a vibe to it, everyone I've ever talked to has always been great (and not just in that "I'm putting up with you because you're a tourist" kind of way), and it's probably one of the most beautiful areas in Western Canada.We left the house this morning at about 7:

Adventure ho!

2009-08-08T07:07:00.005-06:00

An adventure begins! Somewhere inside the next hour I'm going to be departing on what will probably be my only summer getaway this year. My mom and I are driving to Vancouver, primarily to go to the German consort to see about being able to get her a German passport, but we're going to try and have a fun trip around it. We're going to be driving through Edmonton, stopping for lunch and a little

Well this has been a long time coming, hasn't it? (I've just now been asked if I'm updating my blog. That's how unusual this has become). I suppose a lot of things have happened since I updated last. Obviously I haven't updated as often as I intended to do. I still want to try and get into that swing of things. It's hard to say what's happened between then and now, I'm sure there has been quite

2008-09-24T13:40:00.003-06:00

Haha! I had you all fooled didn't I! I'm not dead (yet)! Though I have been having some strange dreams... But that's beside the point. HERE is the point!I'm going to start posting again! Woot! So here's the plan: I'm going to try and update every Friday. Try and recap the week prior, go over that weeks comics (At least I'm a cute geek). And if I've picked up a new game (Which rarely happens),

Happy Earth Day

2008-04-22T19:15:00.002-06:00

Happy Earth Day everyone! Today is the day when a lot of people are going to try and tell everyone else that they have to go green, that they can make little changes in their lives that will help to save the Earth. Well, they're not wrong. There are a lot of little things you can do. Like switching to energy efficient light bulbs, and recycling your cans and bottles instead of throwing them into

Spring is coming

Spring is coming Originally uploaded by Steve Z. Spring is on its way! It's hard to believe, isn't it? March already! And April is quickly on its way. Spring is coming, and there's no way to stop it. Well, I'm sure we could think of a way to stop it, but then where would we be? Still in winter, and a lot of people don't seem to like winter all that much (I rather enjoy it, really). But

You Lose The Game Originally uploaded by skyo Well, it's official. I just lost the game. I can't say I'm not surprised, but it was a little unexpected really. Although, I will say it's a rather fun game to play, and quite challenging. I think we should all try and play, really. C'mon, give it a go! Here, I'll even give you the rules;RULE 1: You are playing The Game.RULE 2: Whenever you

How do you eat a kiwi?

2008-02-12T16:02:00.000-06:00

How do you eat your kiwi fruit? Cooking aside, just for snacking. What do you do with them? Do you peal your kiwi? Do you slice it up? Do you cut the top off and scoop out the green deliciousness? What do you do?Want to know what I do? Well I'll tell you anyway! I used to just eat them like apples. My uncle Solomon taught me that, he's pretty great that way. No pealing or anything. Just pick up

I'm going to post soon!

(I'm CptTuke on the forums)I found this on Destructoid, an artists mock up of what Super Metroid could look like if it was remade in HD, much like Street Fighter II HD.Personally I got really excited,

Here goes.Well, I made a new video a bit ago, you can check it out on my videos page if you like. Umm, what else...We went to Ozzy, that was pretty awesome. The opening act was ok. They sounded good instrumentally, but I couldn't stand the singer. Rob Zombie was pretty good.

I've got allot to write about. I just got back from camping yesterday and have quite the tale to tell. But I don't feel like typing that much right now, so I'll share this with you. I got between classes today and made this comic with my handy dandy MacBook. Enjoy!

You don't make friends with salad. Or do you?

2007-09-16T21:13:00.000-06:00

Salad seems to have gotten a strange reputation. It's food, but it appears that allot of people don't think of it as "real food". To many people, it's what comes before the food. A preview from the kitchen. A sign that whoever is in charge has a clue what their doing. But not "real food". Since it comes before the "real food", it can't really fill you up at all, should it? So, salad, then, is

Was that Man Blue?

2007-09-16T18:04:00.001-06:00

He sure was! Last night was we went to see Blue Man Group at Sask Place (I still refuse to call it Credit Union Centre. I don't care what the sign says.), and holy crap was that allot of fun. Blue Man is awesome. Just freakin' awesome. If you ever have a chance to see Blue Man, go. And go again and again. I've watched Blue Man on PBS before, and it's always been pretty cool, but it's something

First things first. I apologize for the bad Superman reference. Now that that's out of the way...Well, I think I've settled into the new MacBook, and I'm really loving I'm so far. I'm still working on the best way to take notes with it, but I think I've got it figured out and it's allot easy than me trying to listen while I attempt to write things down on paper. I'm not good at that. But typing

It's here! The MacBook is here! And how awesome is it? In a word, crazy awesome. Yes that's two words, but as we've gone over before, it's just that good. So sleek and sexy. I've not officially joined the cult of Apple. And you know what that means? More Apple stickers! Well, besides that, it also means that I've got my laptop for school, as well as a sexy black MacBook, and even less importantly

The Bourne Ultimatum

2007-08-04T23:56:00.001-06:00

I just got home from seeing The Bourne Ultimatum. And I have to say, I really enjoyed myself. I never say the first two in theatres (at least I'm pretty sure I didn't...), but I know I watched them on the movies channels, and I really like them.Ultimately, I think that The Bourne Supremacy is the best of the three (but it's pretty common that the middle chapter of a trilogy be strongest, ala

Anyways. Weird Al came here to little 'ol Saskatoon on the 26th and Riley and I were awesomely lucky enough to go. 2nd row, isle seats just off centre of the stage.

I love playing Guitar Hero. It was the first game I got for my PS2 (Which I purchased in a bit of a stupor), and I've loved it ever since I got it. And with Guitar Hero III, and Rock Band on their way near the end of this year, I think I'll be a very happy boy when I get to play them for myself (Especially Rock Band). And in an effort to continue Guitar Hero's success, Activision announced

Ok, I found this nerd test on a forum I frequent, and took it just for kicks. But the results really surprised me. I expected a moderately elevated score, but this was ridiculous.I mean really, am I that nerdy? You tell me, and take the test yourselves! Lets see the nerdiness fly!

Transformers, in a word, is crazy awesome

2007-07-05T12:55:00.001-06:00

Yes, in a word, crazy awesome. "But that's two words, Steve!" That's right, but that's how awesome it is. It defies rules. Those of us who loved the transformers as kids have grown up (Well at least a little, on the outside anyways), and while many of our childhood favorites haven't, Transformers finally has. Like us, it's now bigger, louder, and knows how to kick some ass.Though the

2007-07-01T17:08:00.000-06:00

Well we got back from Radium last night at 3AM (Long story more suited for conversation than blogging) and I've got some pictures and some video to get up. The trip was pretty fun. Could have been better but could have been allot worse.Anyway, I'll get all the pictures up and get all the video put together (In theory I'll have a full video log entry, and it'll be my first).

Gotta love those Naked Ladies

2007-04-04T23:39:00.001-06:00

I've loved the Barenaked Ladies since I was but a wee lad. I was even lucky enough to go see them in concert in February (Fourth row for the win! Take THAT Matt!). And I think I'll keep on loving them (In a totally platonic heterosexual kind of way) until either they're long dead or I fall into a bottomless pit. They're just so damned fun. And here's a fun video I found on YouTube.You know how on

Everyone hates hangovers. And everyone seems to have some sort of trick to getting rid of them. Well, most of them don't work. So rather than finding a cure for a hangover, why not try and lessen the blow a bit? No, I don't mean stop drinking, where's the fun in that? Lets get drinks that don't cause as bad a hangover!

TMNT Siloette Originally uploaded by Steve Z.. I love the Ninja Turtles. If there's one thing that will put an end to the pirates VS ninjas arguments, it's them. I've loved them since I was a kid (And being the hyperactive little thing I was you can only imagine what I would do after watching a Turtles cartoon). From figures to comics to movies, I had a butt load of the green related stuff (

Simple Math Game That Grows Very Hard Very Quickly. Really Tests You.

The aim of the game is the make the graph planar by moving about the vertices, i.e. no edges intersect. There is an algorithm in graph theory that will construct a planar equivalent except the lines that join the vertices don't have to be straight. Here the lines are forced to be straight which adds to the complexity. Click read more and check it out!read more | digg story

"Can you help me discover more music that I'll like? Those questions often evolved into great conversations. Each friend told us their favourite artists and songs, explored the music we suggested, gave us feedback, and we in turn made new suggestions.

Shamrock HatOriginally uploaded by Steve Z.. St. Patrick's Day is fun. Mostly because it's fun watching drunk people. And drinking is fun too, but mostly watching drunk people. We went to Flatlander's for St. Patrick's Day this year. Got ourselves a couple of titanics of brew (A titanic is a 4L pitcher of beer for those that don't know), and I think that Great Western Black is now my favorite

Well, tonight was to be my St. Practice day toast. And I made the toast. But only one other person heard it. No one came but me and Riley. I was expecting at least one other person, but there was no one. Well, that's not entirely true. Nick did come at about 9:30. He didn't have any money and therefor had no intention of drinking at all, but at least he came. Nick gets a gold star. Better luck

In essence, the film is basically a 2 hour fight scene, with a small bit of dialogue and background in the beginning, and then small chunks of

Apparently I've been terminated. After almost a year and a half of providing great

A plan

2007-03-01T22:18:00.000-06:00

Well, It think I have a plan now. On Tuesday I went back to my high school, Walter Murray, and had a meeting with my old guidance councilor, Mr. Humbert. We talked about a bunch of things, mostly what I was talking about earlier in the week about university and things. He game me some great information, and told me to check out a website that the high school uses to help students get information

I finished reading the Halo Graphic Novel today. Great stuff I must say.The third story in the book is about Sarge, following him as he escapes from the Flood. There isn't any dialog in this story, it's all art. And fantastic art at that, not only does it look great but it really tells the story very well even though there's no words to guide you along.The last story is about New Mombasa, and

Pretty much all the friends of mine who've gone to university or presued other post-secondary education went with a pretty realized purpose. Pharmacy, paramedic, teaching. But I have no idea what I want to do. How did they know? They didn't just decide over night. And I'm pretty sure it would be a bad

They outsource all their tech support though (Don't act surprised), so the company that handles that out here determines our work schedules. And they do a bit of a crappy job of it.
