Good Things

[ed_rex]

Winter (such as it is, here in Hogtown) has limped in at long last. Morning and night for the past few days I have wrapped my head in a cotton head-scarf, then strapped my helmet on atop it; donned a pair of those cheap nylon gloves then pulled on my not-quite-so-cheap ski-gloves over them before taking my bicycle onto the mean streets of Toronto.

The chilled air is bracing, almost exhilirating, as I cycle along Queen, to work and back home again. There is something about battling the elements - especially the cold - that reminds you of just how lovely life can be.

You may find yourself cursing your ex-girlfriend; you may find yourself dreaming of driving an electric car; you may find yourself shivering in the cold; and you may find yourself kissing your cat, but when the bike ride's done (same old way as it ever was), you may say - then how did I get here!?!

But I digress.

There is beauty and strange wonders in this world, such as ...

• The latest photo posted to torontophoto; and


• Jonathan Goldstein's subtly hilarious radio program, Wiretap; and


• the brilliant speed and simplicity involved in upgrading my out-dated version of the Mozilla Suite with Seamonkey; and


• simply being alive.

Red: Drupal is an open-source content management system. Polish up that resume.

Robyn: I'm glad you're so happy where you are now.

Young Geoffrey: You have a good life, but you should quit smoking and also get out of the apartment a little more often.

Love always,


Young Geoffrey

I think it's time for a little botox in that crinkled forehead of yours, Young Geoffrey.

I always love the changing seasons. Especially in T.O.

It's funny as soon as I started reading the line "You may find yourself cursing your ex-girlfriend" I was thinking "Same as it ever was" even before you got to it.

Thanks for the SEAMONKEY link. I haven't really used anything but FIREFOX. I haven't incorporated any add-ons. The HTML one sounds intriguing. Which reminds me I need to update my webpage.

How goes the writing?

Same As It Ever Was

If you can find it, you should do yourself a favour and download the version of that song by Big Daddy, on "Cutting Their On Groove", a record that is both hilarious and often very good music.

As for Seamonkey, it's essentially the old Netscape 4X, updated for the 21st century. If you're happy with Firefox, there's not real need to install the browser/email/etc program.

And as for the writing, er, I'll be getting to it any day now.
