Gotta love us Albertans!
So this Department of Water Resources representative stops at a Canadian ranch in Alberta , and talks with an old rancher. He tells the rancher, I need to inspect your ranch for your water allocation.

So Where Have You Been?
The title of this post is actually a question that I have been getting more and more often lately. The most truthful answer is that I have been so busy that I haven’t been able to do many of the things I usually do in my spare time. This includes in no particular order:

Maple Leaf CEO Message
Many of you must have heard about the recall of meat from the Maple Leaf Foods plant in Toronto due to an outbreak of Listeria that has left several sick and has also led to some fatalities. It is a difficult issue as I know from being in the food industry, but I will leave [...]
Backing Up With JungleDisk
I am sure that most of you have a “horror story” about a computer failure, natural disaster or just plain incompetence with regards to our data. I must say that with all the bad luck I have had with computers over the years, my backup solutions have managed to save me more than once. Some [...]
Aaron Lewis - “Black”
Growing up, we all find songs that mean everything to us at the time. Sometimes if we are lucky we keep some of these songs with us as we grow up into our adult lives. I know that I can say without much trouble that “Pearl Jam - 10″ would be in my top 3 [...]

Under The Lighthouse
I am still in the process of testing a great new software called “phpMotion” that is an open source version of YouTube in many ways. It was first brought to my attention by another great WPMU site that is launching their own video service and I decided it would be great for the hundreds of [...]

Half Mile Of Hell
Not sure what the hell I am talking about? This is the coined phrase that describes the “World Professional Chuckwagon Association“. It really is crazy if you haven’t seen it before. Part of the attraction of the Calgary Stampede

!$text$!
I just installed the iPhone Wordpress application and found this nice little post here on my blog. Thought I would take this opportunity to showcase it as a bug. I didn’t realize it was there until just now, but this can’t be right. Is this known [...]
Soul Meets Body
I haven’t actually posted very often on this blog lately and really haven’t been doing much more than working. It did find time in the past couple days to learn a new song. This is my cover of “Soul Meets Body” by Death Cab for Cutie. Please [...]

Is It Really A Carbon Tax?
This past Friday, I was listening to Alder Online with the host Charles Adler speaking with his guest, Liberal MP from Thunder Bay, Ken Boshcoff. What came out of the show was some refreshing, but brutal honesty about the real underlying meaning behind the proposed Liberal “Carbon Tax” plan. Let Mr. Boshcoff tell you in [...]
