Subway – Geometry over Grade

Samuel — Wed, 02 Jun 2010 01:36:31 +0000

In what can only be called a nut-sackingly good idea, Subway “Restaurants” has decided to start arranging the “cheese” slices on their sandwiches in proper tessellated format. That means (for those of who you cannot right-click-dictionary that shit... More >

Rogers, Continued.

Samuel — Mon, 17 May 2010 02:06:42 +0000

The fallout from this whole Rogers fiasco continues. First they added insult to injury by replying to my complaints via a Twitter account, rather than, you know, the phone number of my current Rogers iPhone. Which they would have if they had read the copy of the post I sen... More >

Top 5: Reasons I hate driving in Montreal

Samuel — Tue, 11 May 2010 05:26:48 +0000

First I would like to qualify my post by saying that, in general, I love the city of Montreal. There is no other city like it, where hundreds of different cultures can coalesce into something as brilliant and unique, full of life, music and art (and counterculture too!). I almost ... More >

The Moderate Muslim View?

Samuel — Mon, 26 Apr 2010 14:35:29 +0000

There are plenty of things that the Judeo-Christian Bible expressly forbids, but no one but the most extreme followers actually observe them. A few examples would be Poly/Cotton Blends (Leviticus 19:19), eating shellfish (Leviticus 11:10), and a woman grabbing an attacker’s testicles... More >

Dear Rogers Customer Service

Samuel — Thu, 15 Apr 2010 15:09:03 +0000

[ I wrote this letter to Rogers after I couldn't change my address on their website. It was the final straw in a string of events stretching back over a year. As of yet I have received no formal response, which I consider quite inadequate given my good spelling and level of outrage. Pe... More >

My First Book? Yeah, okay.

Samuel — Tue, 23 Mar 2010 00:31:58 +0000

Okay so it’s not a “good” book…I’m sorry about that. I was just trying to figure out this whole online publishing thing. Apparently if you give some websites high-res PDFs, they will ship you a nice full-colour printed book. No foolin’! I’... More >

Holy Shit! We’re back!

Samuel — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 05:05:19 +0000

Jesus fucking Christ! (Feels good to swear sometimes, doesn’t it?) Okay so the site still doesn’t fully function, but I’ve decided to make this site work for me. But first I’m going to lay down a few rules. They are for anyone looking to start a fight based on some ... More >

Best Shots of 2009

Samuel — Wed, 30 Dec 2009 06:17:06 +0000

I’ve had my DSLR for just over a year now, and while I don’t fully understand how to use its myriad settings, I like to think I at least have a good eye for shots…occasionally. This year I drove through the maritime provinces, visited my ancestral home, and went to Newfou... More >

French Wipeout?

Samuel — Thu, 03 Dec 2009 00:46:40 +0000

Television without cable isn’t so bad. I live downtown and I get CTV in HD over the air (but not through the ocean), Global and CBC most times, and sometimes I can get City-TV and Omni 1/2. I also get several French channels. Now I like to think of myself as a bilingual couc... More >

I can't quit you, baby.

Samuel — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 05:05:05 +0000

…but I can’t finish you, either.

A website is a little bit like a child. You conceive it (though using methods hopefully unlike the ones employed by humans) and grow it inside your computer, and – when it’s ready – you unleash... More >
