Halloween week October 29, 2009
Posted by Sina in : Daily , add a commentIt’s Halloween week!! I changed my theme for the week to be more festive, it looks like this.
In other news, I’m staying up a little late tonight to buy a shirt that goes on sale at midnight 1am because I’m afraid it’ll sell out before I wake up tomorrow. Yes, maybe a little pathetic, but you have to SEE this shirt.
Enjoy this horror video, again :D
Web 0.5 October 26, 2009
Posted by Sina in : Daily , add a commentGeocities closed today, and it’s creating feelings of nostalgia for me.
I had my first webpage on Geocities back in, oh, probably….1996? It was a wrestling webpage with news and predictions from the WWF and WCW — I may have also had ECW in there somewhere. Not to stroke my own ego (that’s what she said), but for the time it was actually a pretty nice looking site. I created it using a combination of Dreamweaver and raw HTML writing — for later webpages/projects I also threw Netscape into the mix.
Geocities is where I learned most of the things I know about the internet, HTML, web architecture, etc. Especially HTML. Everything I know about HTML still comes from those days. The same is probably true for most people my age.
Oh well. That’s progress.

But I still pronounce his name bear-TOT-oh, despite the author’s preference. And in case you haven’t heard, Nedroid is awesome.

Another Windsor Update October 1, 2009

- I don’t think my drinking density has been this high since Cuba, where I would begin drinking at 10am every day.
- Comparing to the conference I went to last year in September, Quebec hospitality is about 10x better than Ontario hospitality — particularly the food.
- I hope I behaved well tonight.
- I made $8 at the casino tonight, but I’m about to go out for more…..so let’s knock on some wood. *knock knock*
- Tourism, from a public policy view, needs to rethink itself as provider of social service to the public as opposed to a revenue generator for the public.
- An exact quote from my twitter: “Wow, gambling can be so addictive. Thank god I’m a mathematician.” Really though, thank god I’m a mathematician.
- I’m easily replacable. I need to remember that.
- The government of Ontario really shouldn’t be involved in the casino business. Write your MP.
When in Rome…etc
