I've spent a lot of time thinking about sustainable living, and energy, and general infrastructure independence.

Here are some thoughts I've had

1. Infrastructure independence is prohibitively expensive for individuals.
By infrastructure independence I mean things like energy, communications, water, plumbing, etc. These are very expensive for individuals. I've priced energy production and storage to about $10,000/KW. However I if you get small communities of...

As many of you probably know, I've been waging a personal battle with Hollywood for a while now and I've been outspoken and honest in my views about it and mainstream mass media in this part of the world.

So the other day I received my copy of Initial D on blu ray from amazon.com. Now I've never watched the anime, I don't know who any of the characters are, and I think that street racing/drifting are acts of reckless criminal behavior at best, but having said that I enjoyed the movie...

My booty call just called, but this time I've decided not to answer. I just can't do it anymore. Before I would have been every eager to jump all over the opportunity, but I just don't feel it. My discomfort with the idea is through some sense of morality more than anything else. I've gotten to the point where I think that sex for the sake of sex just isn't that important anymore.

But before I go on, my New Years Eve resolution was to stop talking and thinking about politics so much. I've tried to start my own initiatives,...

So the other day I was lamenting in chat because I had met somebody through a club we both belong to, and I thought we got along well so I had invited her to dinner.

Well, I had had a somewhat long and rough day, so by time dinner rolled around I was bit tired and worn out. Plus it was the first snowfall of the season, and for some reason, even though winter is an annual event, Torontonians act and drive like they have never seen snow before. So what would have usually been a fairly...

So I might have accidentally cockblocked somebody today. Since I'm paranoid about privacy and security, I will abstract away all the irrelevant details.

Today I met up with somebody at the office since I've decided to take on the position of webmaster. Today's meeting was about what sort of things we'd like to do with the website. But lo and behold, we weren't alone. My associate had a friend of his along who was a very petite and cute girl, whom I know is his type since he has mentioned...
