One more day until November and still no snow – I like it!
- Just got back from the Matthew Good concert at the Starlite. I went with Megan, making this like fourth time we’ve seen him perform I think. He played a really great set tonight, and he even played my favorite song, Weapon (he didn’t play it the last time I saw him).
- My new favorite day of the week is Thursday. Why? Because there are $2 drinks at Lux!
- Sharon wants to buy a portable CD player to replace her old one, and so I gave her my little speech on how she sould be buying an MP3 player instead. It fell on deaf ears, so I called her a luddite, and to my surprise she didn’t know what that meant! For once I knew something about the English language that Sharon didn’t!
- I started reading Ray Kurzweil’s new book The Singularity a few days ago, and I am completely enthralled. It’s so interesting – it makes me want to go to sleep for twenty years and wake up when the good times are rolling!
- Looks like the Telus strike isn’t going to end anytime soon – the union rejected a tentative agreement today. Very slim margin though, with 50.3% voting against the agreement.
- It has been almost 24 hours since I last ate, so I think I am going to head home and have a bite to eat before I go to sleep. Oddly though I’m not hungry.
- Happy Halloween!

I have two unread Ray books on my shelf and have still the purchase The Singularity. I need a psychic twin.
LUX!!! Finally someone understands the unadulterated near-orgasmic greatness at LUX. Congratulations on having the second best taste in Edmonton!!! 😉
Yes Colin, the books are not what you would call light reading. The Singularity itself is quite thick!
Thanks Justice, I’ll take second best taste! Perhaps we should have a .NET Wizards event at Lux…
Yes. Matthew Good rocked my world last night. he was incredible. And he played the acoustic version of Tripoli (near-orgasmic for me!!!)
And if Sharon’s a luddite in terms of music players, I think you’re a luddite with your tank of a phone! 😛
I agree that Lux is fab, and I can’t believe Sharon didn’t know what a Luddite is (we studied in grade 9 social studies)
Yes I need to upgrade my cell phone, but at least I have one! Apparently Americans replace their phones every 16 months…I am clearly behind on that trend.
And you’re also clearly not American. 🙂
