Update 2014-09-20: Try the Consolas font instead of the default Courier New. It’s slightly smaller but still quite readable and permits a narrow 80×40 window which I can lay out side-by-side 3 times on my desktop (1920×1080) without overlapping. That’s something you can’t do with Courier New at 80×40. Give it a try under Putty…
Of Hearts and Minds
A hard mind and hard heart tends to unrelenting ruthlessness, but a soft mind and soft heart tends to wayward wandering. A soft mind and hard heart tends to flappable foolishness, but a hard mind and soft heart is the chosen clay of which the crafter says, “Of this refuse will I make something beautiful…
In this moment…
In this moment lie two. Darkness, sweet, lay heavy. Here, in this moment, lies love. Moonlight graces her tresses and her frame. Shine of sorrow, searing, and of pity, piercing. Their eyes are locked, inclined one to another. Eyes forlorn and longing to long. That time will come and will yet be under many moonless…
Sick of Inkjets? Willing to give up colour? Here’s the plan…
I love Inkjets for the print quality and colour but I grew sick and tired of them clogging up simply because I didn’t use them often enough. I went through a few printers, hundreds of dollars, many ink cartridges, horrible cleaning episodes, and then I just had enough. I picked up a hundred dollar HP LaserJet P1005 and I’ve never looked back.
The Storied Tale of You and I
You captured my gaze and I entered this haze. I followed my eyes and you were my demise. You gave me your smile and I longed all the while. I stood and withstood and you gave all you could. You gave me your heart and I broke it apart. But I couldn’t understand til the…

How to buy music on iTunes or at your favourite shop
Update 2011-03-12: Added “Don’t buy samplers” rule. Update 2011-04-24: No longer against iTunes deluxe albums. A few of my rules for buying music. Some apply to iTunes, some to all music media. Buy full albums. Get to know your artists. Stop listening to what the Man tells you to listen to by only buying singles….
O.C. Supertones – Any albums you can get your hands on
Continuing my recent trend of music recommendations, you can’t go wrong with the brilliant rock, ska-infused O.C. Supertones. A while back I picked up all their albums on iTunes, except greatest hits compilations, and stringing these guys together in one giant play-list makes for an epic listen.
Natalie Grant – Love Revolution
I’m surprised to find myself listening to Natalie Grant’s Love Revolution quite a bit. If you’ve heard her previous albums, like I have, and didn’t care too much for their sound, give this one a listen. Natalie’s true voice is unhindered on this album and it’s a beautiful, soaring, powerful voice one just has to…
