To create a useful and attractive directory, from a Canadian's perspective.
To experiment using a non-linear blog, and learn from XHTML / CSS examples found on the web.

- Feb 22: Stupid thought of the day: I was driving along a familiar stretch
of road when I noticed a street named, Blue Flag Gate. Wouldn't it be cool if
instead it was Black Flag?
Better yet, I'm renaming my street to raise tourist money for the city treasury.
Look for my house at ninety-one Rainbow Butt Monkeys Blvd.
- Feb 20: A note to executives at Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment:
When hockey resumes and ticket prices aren't halved, whining about poor attendance and financial woes will fall on deaf ears.
Meanwhile, Blue Jays baseball has the best chance in a decade to reclaim fans lost from their strike, but only if they're shrewd.
- Feb 13: The most poignant quote from the Mother Jones interview with Romeo
Dallaire below speaks volumes about the UN's failure in Rwanda:
I had absolutely no authority to do that [seize weapons] -- nor was I allowed to risk it or have the troops to do it - and I had to inform both sides of what was going on.
Imagine the international outrage had Dallaire's forces raided the weapons
caches, slowing the proliferation of the genocide and giving the peace
process a chance. Ironically, if casualties occurred on either side, the
action would have violated his atypical chapter-six
mission and branded him the aggressor!
- Feb 6: This weekend, we went to the Leigha
Lee Browne Theatre, for my cousin's play, Lovely
Day, a sweet tale about love, war, and the undead. "In a war-torn future
the dead have risen, and two enemies find themselves trapped together, face
to face, forced to confront their true fears." First, were performances
by an inconsistent improvisation troupe, and a completely nonsensical, drug-induced
diatribe about the place of man in society. At least, that's what I believed,
but no one was entirely sure. The main act was much more captivating and
well written. Besides, who doesn't like a story about commercially-driven Zombies?
