The most creative name for a vegetable EVER

Thu, 10 Dec 2009 09:29:22 -0500

How many foods are named after the action you need to take to get it? The pickle. Most creative name ever.

I think I’ll start calling carrots growanyanks. —case p.

Apology Haiku

Wed, 09 Dec 2009 23:36:20 -0500

I’ve just been made aware that this morning’s haiku starts with a 6 syllable line.

As this just won’t do, I must now write an APOLOGY haiku.

Here goes:

First line, haiku sucked / Too many syllables there / Screw you, I was beat!

Canadian Weather: A Haiku.

Wed, 09 Dec 2009 08:39:55 -0500

Dear readers, Allow me to share my opinion of the weather this morning in the form of a short haiku. Stupid sleet storm pounding
Soaked my clothing to the bone
Hate you, Canada

I was only walking to the train station for 15 minutes, and my clothes are two shades of colour - darker on the front, lighter on the back. Canada? FFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUU!!! Thank you,

Mobile Media Converter: Makes Mobile Life Easier

Wed, 09 Dec 2009 00:57:53 -0500

via miksoft.net

If you’ve been looking at all for a program to convert those pesky .amr files on your cellphone into something a little more useful, I find this program pretty helpful - Miksoft’s Mobile Media Converter. I tend to record a lot of lyrics and song ideas into my BlackBerry when I’m on the go, so being able to use freeware to convert them into high-quality WAV and MP3 files has been very handy for getting more mileage out of those ideas and not being constrained to the BlackBerry to listen to them. Try it out!

Good on ya, Miksoft.

Newegg.ca! Packaging FAIL. During Cyber Monday (which for those of you not in the know has less to do with a day reserved for the celebration of illicit activities online and more to do with the Monday following Black Friday in the US every year where all the tech sites put extra sales on their merch online) I got a few things with some extra government cash that came my way (go accidentally understating the amount of income tax you paid! w00t!). Some made total sense when they arrived, like a 4-bay hard drive enclosure, that came in a box that fit a 4-bay hard drive enclosure! Or a 1.5 TB hard drive, that came in a box only somewhat larger than itself. But this? This was just horrible. I came home today to see this box on my computer chair.

Knowing what I was expecting and thinking there was some mistake, I opened it to find… a 4 GB MicroSD card. …but it’s tiny as hell - what do I need a MASSIVE box for? All it contained was this, a receipt and some paper - to keep it from jostling around? WTF. Use a bubble wrap envelope! This is just WASTEFUL.

In case you don’t know just how small this is, here’s a picture with a nickel for comparison. I KNOW, RIGHT?

Newegg, change your practices. This is just sad :(—case p.

[HD]自主制作アニメーション『the TV show』

Tue, 08 Dec 2009 00:39:21 -0500

via youtube.com

Videos like this can make you wish you weren’t living in North America.

You can basically look at it like the same sequence of videos done four times over, but it’s after the first time where the madness starts to begin!

Round one is the premise;

Round two brings you to reality to show you how it all fits in;

Round three shows what happens when we merge that crazy TV land with reality;

Round four shows the consequences.

What do we get? 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 = EPIC WIN.

—case p.

P.S. On second look, there could be more like 7 rounds… and you’ve gotta watch out for all the subtle changes - for there are MANY!

THE CALAMITIES - Bob Marley & The Wailers - "Could You Be Loved"

Tue, 08 Dec 2009 00:16:27 -0500

via youtube.com

Another classic done Calamities style! Please note that without monitors on stage, the singers couldn’t hear themselves sing.

Which is the reason I’m giving you for sounding like I’m yelling.

I can sing, really. I’ll prove it to you sometime!

I’ll karaoke with the best of ‘em…!

THE BITTER END

Mon, 07 Dec 2009 23:59:33 -0500

via thebitterend.tv

I recommend The Bitter End if you want some edgy comedy that’ll make you laugh. And cry. And make grotesque faces at your monitor.

From the brother of people I went to school with, The Bitter End.

It’s a bandwagon you should already be riding like poison children.

(You’ll see what I mean…)

When Editors Sleep on the Job: Hangin' Out at St. Peter's

Mon, 07 Dec 2009 14:50:33 -0500

http://mobile.torontoist.com/2009/12/hangin_out_at_st_peters.phpThis is a prime example of what happens when people aren’t doing their jobs right.

I must say, it probably made for an interesting commute into work for the bazillions of people who pick up this free Toronto paper, daily.Well, that is if they were awake enough to see what was… *ahem*… staring them in the face.

You Know You're on the Computer Too Much When...

Girlfriend’s Roommate: Casey, did you even sleep? You’re in the exact same position!
Casey: Ha - (*realizes it’s true, since I slept after her and woke up before her and returned to the computer*) - awww =/

Prepping for a Dinner for 11 (+ baby)

Mon, 07 Dec 2009 01:04:12 -0500

When Casey wants to experiment with his camera, he starts taking pics of random crap. In this case, it was my girlfriend and her friend Sherrie preparing dinner for our House Group from church - we were expecting 11 people (plus Amelia, one of the cutest babies ever). I think it was an excellent table setting and the atmosphere was put together quite well. Check it out here:

You might ask why I wasn’t helping with the cooking.Simple answer: Because I’m a lousy cook.

The Calamities: Now With Video!!!

Mon, 07 Dec 2009 00:55:45 -0500

via flickr.com

Hey all,

I got around to posting some video on top of the photos that have been popping up on my Flickr and Facebook. Here’s an example above, and I think there’s another five for you to check out in the 2009 OPS Battle of the Bands gallery on my Flickr here:

The videos so far include interviews, intros and other such humorous filler - the songs will come later into the week, along with my blog post.

Hope you’re looking forward to it!
