Apparently THUNDERSPANK is back for one night only – Monday at 8pm and 10pm at the MainLine. I’m going to one of those – anyone else interested in seeing it, or seeing it again? Thanks to girlintheclouds for pointing this out!

Enlightened Two weekends ago, Vic and Jen came to town to ride the Tour la Nuit and Tour de l’ÃŽle. They arrived on Friday evening just in time to scarf down some Southern Fried Tofu and head out for the night ride. Never missing an opportunity to blow 10,000 minds at the same time, I…
The horror, the horror
I went to messiahdivine and cloquewerk‘s place last night and we eventually ended up playing Arkham Horror. I’m fairly convinced games like that were created by alien intelligences to test how much computation and grunt work humans will willingly do for fun. In the 2 hours before I had to go home, we got through…
I’ve been pondering buying a road bike for a few years now, since I do a lot of recreational road rides where one would be useful. Then cpirate bought one – so now I need one to be able to keep up with him. Plus while shopping for his, he discovered a rather good deal…
A couple of things I’ve promised to send people over the past few days: For those of you who love Craigslist, here’s a disturbingly accurate parody. Also, mainly for auzure_skies and jbailey, here’s what happens when you have a world famous violinist play anonymously in a busy subway station, and here’s some of the response.
Party, potluck party!
I haven’t had a party in a while, nobody’s had a potluck in a while, and my parents are in town. All good excuses to have a party! When: Friday, April 13, 18:00 – ? Where: 4104 Hotel-de-Ville, metro Mont-Royal BYOB, bring food to share, and bring friends and wellwishers! I’ve sent this out via…

C.O.M.A.
Is anyone going to C.O.M.A next weekend? Kind of crept up on me so I haven’t made any plans – I’ll go on at least one of the nights, but I don’t think I can do 3 in a row. Looks like a great lineup though! If anyone from Ottawa wants to come up, spare…
Scanning!
I’m finally scanning the huge number of slides (and maybe even the smaller number of filmstrips) I’ve shot since buying an SLR in 1998. This has, perhaps, been my longest-term project ever. rgb lent me a Nikon LS-2000 slide scanner in early 2003. Every time I’ve pulled it out to use it, something different has…
I’m going to have a party on the second weekend in April. I haven’t decided on any details and I know this is too early for people to know if they can make it or not, but here’s your chance to influence the date:
The things I do for money
I occasionally try to explain what I do for a living to people with varying degrees of success – so now I’d like to show you. This is Jaguar. It is the 10th most powerful supercomputer in the world and the most powerful open use machine (in other words if you have a good enough…
Sir Sandford Fleming can go fuck himself.
lounge
Anyone want Maple Leaf Lounge guest passes (AC only), expiring Feb 28 ’07? I have 2 that are useless to me.
OK, the Musée des beaux-arts du Québec has an exhibition that contains, among other things, a hot tub made out of a dumpster. Apparently one can bathe in it by prearrangement… Anyone up for a road trip to Québec sometime before April 15? Article here – there’s a photo in the print version.
I now have a fax machine. Send me something interesting: 514-845-7257 Please note: I don’t have any of those other things.

Too much travel
bleak Originally uploaded by scjody. I still haven’t uploaded photos from Paris, India, or Ireland (except this one.) I’m now on my way to Beijing. I got back to Montreal on Saturday night and have been feeling exactly like a zombie ever since. This morning: 8:00 flight to PEK via YVR means leave the house…
I’m at my aunt & uncle’s house in N. Ireland waiting for the rain to stop so I can go for a bike ride around the area. As you can see, I made it out of India intact (still no photo uploadage, sorry) and am now vacationing in the old country. On Friday, my cousin…
