New Geography?

I was a little puzzled this morning as I went to click on my homepage, currently set at http://www.yahoo.ca and I received an error message (would not load) with a pop up message stating “We’ve detected you are using Yahoo! outside Canada. Check out your local homepage here” and it links me to Y!Québec. Hmmm, lastContinue reading “New Geography?”

The Niftiest Places

Thank you Mr. Bartle for showing me that everyday things can be a little bit happy and a little bit sad. I think I have clicked on this more times than is healthy in the last two days!

And We’re Back

Spring break is over, and it is back to the grind. The end of the semester is looming, and the work that looked so harmless in January and February suddenly seems a bit more threatening. It is a good thing that I have a tendency of needing to be a bit overloaded to be productiveContinue reading “And We’re Back”

Sesame Street Nostalgia

Over the last few days, for some reason, I have been waxing nostalgic (to borrow a phrase) about my childhood. My favorite Sesame street sketch was the ‘Capital I’ (as well as the Ladybug Picnic, The Alligator King and the pinball number song). Thanks to the power of You-Tube – someone has taken the timeContinue reading “Sesame Street Nostalgia”

Research Presentation

Did my presentation yesterday, we presented alphabetically, so I was second… I was not as formally prepared as some of my colleagues, but I was quite happy with how it went. My goal (and inner argument) was that I should not have to ‘prepare’ something formal to tell people what my research is. I haveContinue reading “Research Presentation”

Call Me Crazy

But I love my four distinct seasons here in Montreal Canada… I have always thought that each season was about as long as it needed to be. Summer is nice, but hot is hot, and here in the city, the humidity can take your breath away; which is one of the reasons I spend myContinue reading “Call Me Crazy”

Sound Distractions

While playing and researching video games has been my intellectual bread and butter over the last few years, I was taken a bit aback this morning how annoyingly repetitive game sounds are when you are not the one playing. No big secret really. But I really thought that since I had become accustomed to myContinue reading “Sound Distractions”

Holiday Music

As December is now upon us, I am happy to pass along a great link of holiday music … with a twist of course. WOXY.com has their annual holiday mixer running for the month of December. A great alternative to the traditional tunes, woxy offers holiday tunes with a punch. One of my favorite partsContinue reading “Holiday Music”

New Blogroll Additions

Game Set Watch is a good spot to check out gaming reviews, industry news etc. West Karana: Role-Playing and Real Life is a nice personal blog around EQ2 among other things and finally, Interaction Culture isContinue reading “New Blogroll Additions”

/Sigh

So I am reading this news article on Yahoo news this morning and as I am reading through it I am astonished at how the article is written. Sure the grammar is fine and the reading flows – but it is the content I am bothered with (and probably a reason why I don’t readContinue reading “/Sigh”
