Google has been offering a tabbed interface to the customized content of your Google homepage for some time, but as Miss604 cites in her blog, that feature has been seemingly a bit sporadic… To be honest I’d sort of forgotten all about it.
However, after reading her blog last night and giving some thought to […]

The Canucks‘ top line of Naslund, Morrison and Bulis each managed to beat Washington Capitals’ goaltender Olaf Kolzig in a 3-2 SO win for the Canucks tonight… but don’t let that fool you.
The top line looked disorganized for most of the game. Though they did get a few chances now and again the […]
We took some time this evening to hit the used book sale at one of our local libraries tonight. We were told to show up early because it would get busy, since the sale started at 6:00 we figured showing up at 5:30 would be plenty early… we were at the back of […]
I friend of mine sent me a link to this YouTube video recently, his intent I’m sure was for me to marvel at how large some of the entities in our universe are. What happened, is that I realized without any hesitation something else: how small we are.

I heard an absolutely brilliant plan a couple of nights ago for re-doing the NHL schedule. Driving home listening to Brook Ward on the Team 1040 and he said that he could solve the NHL’s scheduling problem with one simple realignment of the way the games are organized. After listening to what […]

I decided to go with the ultra-cool “glossy” screen as opposed to the “matte” screen I’ve been used to with the Dell Latitude. Right away I was […]
A couple of months back (when we were in the middle of all the wedding craziness) a story came out about Bell Globemedia pondering a large bid for the Hockey Night in Canada franchise. I found a piece on VancouverCanucksOpEd.com that I found tonight researching another article that talks about this story and a […]
Off to a good start… a very good start
Published October 7th, 2006 in Canucks and Hockey. 0 CommentsSo here we are the day after Game #2 of the 2006/07 NHL season and our Vancouver Canucks have managed a couple of very solid games the past couple of nights. After spoiling the home openers at Joe Louis and Nationwide arenas, the boys from GM Place are sitting pretty atop the Western […]
Google - Understanding your Search Terms
Published October 1st, 2006 in Google, Internet, Technology and Utilities. 0 CommentsJust had to quickly drop this in here… I did a search this afternoon looking for an RDP (remote desktop) client for the new MacBook. When I put my search terms into Google, it not only searched for RDP, but extrapolated that out to “Remote Desktop” and “Remote Desktop Protocol” (both of which […]
