A collection of digital wonders and some other stuff
This short flash based clip is a scholarly review of a “Heavy Metal Umlaut” article from Wikipedia. Basically he goes through and explains how the Wikipedia changes over time and the patterns typical in such work.
I found the speed at which the “vandalism” was repaired to be particularly interesting.
Ann Coulter tries to tell a Canadian journalist on CBC that Canada sent troops to Vietnam. When he corrects her, she refuses to admit that she’s wrong.
Have the terrorists won? I can’t believe this was backed up in court!
This is a great New Media portfolio by a fellow Canadian. Check it out: Steve Seeley’s Portfolio.

It hasn’t even been a week since Anna-Maria left Lethbridge to pursue her acting career in Vancouver. It feels like she’s been gone for SO long. I feel awful.
In order to cheer myself up, I decided I am going to work on a redesign of my blog. I know my idea of fun may not appeal to most but it’s what I like doing and I’m also making myself waffles. Eating waffles would put anyone in a good mood.
I’ve been meaning to do this redesign for quite awhile now. Since I’ve got pretty much the whole day to do whatever I want and nothing but the quiet sound of my crumbling heart to distract me, I’m thinking I’ll be able to get a lot done. Hopefully sometime within the next couple of weeks I’ll have a new cross-browser compatible and fully CSS compliant webpage.
I’m in the process of trying a new recipe. Actually pretty much all recipes are new to me considering I don’t do much cooking. Now that I’m an official bachelor I guess that’s going to change.
So I’m cooking up some delicious smelling (and hopefully delicious tasting) dall. It’s an East Indian vegetarian dish and it’s great — at least it was when Anna-Maria made it.
I’ve decided to go on a trip to Malaysia. It’s part of the cultural studies class I’m going to take next semester. It’s 6 weeks long and after I’m done, with the exception of one applied studies class and the internship I’ll be done my degree. I’ll be pretty happy to finally be done school.
The middle finger on my right hand is swollen. At the end of my 50 Breast I jammed it into the wall. Then at the end of my 200 free and 50 free I also finished with my right hand and hurt it again and again! I can’t tape it – because that would be cheating, but I’m not sure it would make much difference anyway.
I didn’t race this morning. I am looking forward to my finals tonight and the 4×100 relay. We have some really fast free-stylers so I’m hoping that we are going to get a team record – if not for the 4×100 tonight then the 4×50 tomorrow.
Here are some Logo’s that Anna and I created for the ESL students that came to the University of Lethbridge last summer.
I’ve been getting hate mail from a certain Mychal Homsley (either he doesn’t know how to spell his own name or his parents are great practical jokers). For those of you that don’t know, when he asks what I have against “Led Zeplyain” (sic) he is referring to my Stairway to Heaven Backwards page. Anyway I was telling some friends about these hate emails and they wanted to read them, so here they are:
Email #1 Subject: (no subject)
“Yo i just want to know what the HELL you have aginst Led Zeplyain, It’s pretty obvisis that ypu can’t stand a classic Rock N’ Roll band so you know give me the word on WHY you seem to hate them”
Email #2 Subject: Why do you Hate Zepplian
“Yo I want to know why you hate Zepplain so much…. It’s because of people like you This band has a bad repurtaion so take you’r damn FAKE song off you’r site if there is a problem with that E-Mail me back…………. But there should be no Problem right….”
Email #3 Subject: REPLY BACK
“You need to get a DAMN life. If you have nothing better to do then sit there and post lies among lies then that should tell you that you need to get a life or sometimg… I play for a band and i resent what you said Take it back or E-Mail me you DAMN PUSSY…”
Email #4 Subject: (no subject)
“Hey listen up i sent you about 4 diffrent E-Mails and i need to know why, why do you hate Rock are you going to bring up the inncident with ozzy and John Mcollen”
Email #5 Subject: (no subject)
“Replay back and i’ll stop E-Mailing you, or i can just make your life a living HELL you’r pick”
What Mychal Homsley fails to realize is that #1 I don’t hate “Led Zeplyain” (sic) or Rock ‘n Roll. He would know that if he would have bothered to read the text below on the site. #2 With all the homework that I have due in the next couple weeks my life is already a “living HELL” and that is why I haven’t had time to reply to his obviously well thought-out attack mail. Also #3 I have no idea what the incident with “Ozzy and John Mcollen” is all about.
