I recently took 3 weeks off from work. They were vacation days that I did not use the previous year so I had to use them or lose them. Being forced to take these three weeks, I didn’t really have anything planned out aside from a quick drive to Portland to visit an old friend. […]
This time courtesy of Joseph Foo out of Brampton Ontario. This jerk buys a phone off me on eBay, a phone that I listed as “For Parts or Not Working”. Fine and dandy, no problem. Figure the transaction would go on like the several other transactions I’ve had on eBay selling used phones. The previous […]
I’ve been using a PC as a media player with my TV for almost the past 7 years. It started with the introduction of Windows XP Media Center, I tried it out and fell in love with it. I setup a permanent computer dedicated to playing media from my server. Over time, it’s evolved into […]
I’ve always been told that I should keep my money in a savings account and that’s what I’ve been doing all these years until recently. I’ve had a change of opinion and dumped all my money into my TFSA and purchased shares in several funds yielding at least 10% annually and the pay monthly. The […]
Since some a few people asked for proof of fake Zoosk profiles, I spent some time to do reverse image searches with Google on a number of profiles. Process was simple, click and drag an image into the Google image search box. I started with the profiles that I tried to communicate with and got […]
Well, not quite yet. I was hoping to totally shut down my Facebook account but it’s still the the easiest way my long distance friends and family can keep in touch with me. Everyone else has been blocked. If they want to chat, call me and if they want to catch up, we can meet […]

Funny thing happened, I all of the sudden started receiving responses. I convinced some of the women to communicate outside of the site fearing we […]
So this Jiefu Zhang guy said he sent the phone back on Monday… Friday goes by and still no phone. Guy keeps pestering me about it and asking if it’s arrived. Now, if I’m reimbursing him the shipping costs, why the hell didn’t he get a tracking number? I just gave up and refunded him […]
Anyone else hate selling on eBay? So here’s the story.. I sell refurbished blackberries on eBay, I take old blackberries swap out the housings, make sure everything is working and I list them on eBay. I cringe every time someone with no feedback wins an auction because more often than not, I’m going to get […]
Back in September 2008, I had this huge craving for clam chowda. Back in January, I went to Boston with my buddy Russell to catch the Spice Girls concert (Tickets were well over $2000 in Vancouver and Russell went to college in Boston so he knows the city well). That’s when I had my first […]
