I think I’ve had one of the top three burgers of my life today. It was at the Detroit Eatery, on the Danforth at Chester. It was definitely one of the cheapest, but was seasoned and cooked to perfection. Score one for a Cheap Eats Toronto recommendation.
My top three burgers are probably:
Father Brown Stories, by G. K. Chesterton. Just as I’m getting into it, I think I lost it on the bus. Rats.
It looks like New Labour are going to win, again. Sigh. I voted for them in ’97 ‘cos they appeared to be an alternative to the truly appalling Tories. And for about a year, I thought I’d made the right choice. But no, they’re just the Tories, remixed.
I voted Scottish Liberal Democrat. Yes, they didn’t get in in my constituency. They did take nearby East Dunbartonshire, though.

One of my WindShare colleagues was extolling the virtues of xdrive. It looks pretty neat, but I already spend money on hosting, so don’t want to duplicate the effort. I wonder if PHPFileExchange — a free, server-based file repository system — will work from here.
Hey, it’s 05/05/05; the one day that Americans, Canadians, and Europeans agree that it’s the same.
Browsing a news site today, I caught this weird animation for the US government ‘preparedness’ (hunh?! as in ‘prepared food’?) site, ready.gov
Basically, it shows an office being drowned in a biblical-scale flood. Apart from being astonishingly insensitive to recent victims of the tsunami, when’s this going to happen? Could it finally be an acceptance of global warming by the US government? It’d take a fairly nifty terrorist to cause a flood like this. How’s some plastic sheeting, duct tape, and not talking to strangers going to help here?
I have no answers for this, but I tell you, I’m investing in gopher wood futures right away …
$50.42 is what it cost me to UPS my UK ballot paper back to North Lanarkshire Council with any hope of it getting there on time. It really didn’t help that I only got my papers on Monday. Canada Post and/or Purolator were too slow or evil to get it there in time.
Once the election is done, I’ll show you what a real ballot paper looks like.
Paul Stalker gave me a caddy of Lee Valley Sri Lankan Orange Pekoe Tea. It is teh thé! Thanks, Paul!
