Tuesday, June 30th, 2009For All Your Pipeline Condition Assessment and Leak Detection Needs
Tuesday, June 16th, 2009I’m sure that if I had muncipal water assets to manage, I’d use the Pressure Pipe Inspection Company (PPIC) | Pipeline Condition Assessment and Leak Detection to detect money-wasting leaks …
(So, Norvin, was that enough of an incoming link for you? You said you were desparate …)
I’m all about the Black Sesame Soy Drink
Tuesday, June 16th, 2009
Seriously, Sahmyook Black Sesame Soy Drink is amazing. A really rich, nutty, smoky flavour. It’s quite hard to come by – I bough a case of the tiny cartons today for $25 in P.A.T. Market East.
I think it would be a hit if marketed to non-Korean folks. Sahmyook have an office in Thornhill, so the revolution starts there.

tasty korean noms
Saturday, June 6th, 2009… can be had locally from P.A.T. Market East, at 1973 Lawrence Avenue E (near Warden). Black sesame soymilk is me. All I need now is the fabulous Korean steel chop sticks and spoon combo, and my utensil joy is complete.
mercifully gore free
Saturday, June 6th, 2009So I shaved with an open razor for the first time today. Not a proper hollow-ground steel, but a shavette, which is a handle that takes regular rzor blades split in half. With only one tiny cut, I managed to kinda get a proper shave, but it was slow. The ergonomics of it are weird; to hold it comfortably, you can barely see the blade in the mirror.
I had to finish off shaving with my regular Merkur.
let’s hope not in the British sense …

Proclamations
Monday, April 20th, 2009Take heed, fell people of Storex: may your website forever remain broken for the crime of putting a tamper-resistant product sticker on the front of my filing cabinet. The hour spent removing its tiny sticky shards was not a pleasant one, nor will it be one I get back, mark my words.
Know this, excellent people of Scraperite: your blades of finest vorpal plastic cut through the sticky clogging evil like enchanted senna through a dwarven granny.

the perils of tidyness
Tuesday, March 10th, 2009The cleaner at work threw away one of my My-Kaps, which allow you to reuse your Keurig K-Cups. This is annoying, as I’d just bought two, and only having one is a pain. They never usually tidy my desk (I think I’ve lost three “Please tidy your desk for cleaning” slips in the strata) so this is mystifying and annoying.

too many instruments
Thursday, February 26th, 2009I just counted, and found out that my instrument collection has 115 strings. I think I should thin the herd.
