Mozilla.org Gets Standardized
The new Mozilla.org has been featured this week on The Weekly Standards: a site that "is dedicated to recognizing sites that have been lovingly crafted with web standards and the future in mind." I got an email from Adam Howell, the guy that runs the site, last week with some questions about the …
Wards Island Disc Golf Map
On Toronto Island, there's a very nice disc golf course (aka frisbee golf course) that runs along a good portion of Wards Island. This was one of the things I was really looking forward to when I moved to Toronto a few months ago. However, although it's easy to find the course itself, it's very …
Biking the Brickworks
Tonight I got out for my second mountain bike adventure in Toronto where there is some surprisingly (probably not for the locals) good singletrack to be found right in the city. I went out for a ride in the Don Valley with my sister and her husband and was pleased to find some fine trails up …
Right Back at You
Alright, after quite the soap opera that involved half-finished repairs, broken promises, and one fired superintendant, I've moved into my new place. It feels good to have a homebase again. • Much has happened in the past month. Friend and fellow silveroranger Steven Garrity has gotten engaged …
Road Trippin'
Well, I almost have everything ready for the big move. Trailer rented, slice of the month up late, friends farewelled, and all of the other odds and ends. Farewell for a while friends as I head off for Toronto.
Seconds Off a Segway
I came into the office this morning and was told that Great Hobbies, a local company, had a Segway and had, in fact, become a local reseller. "Oh, sure, whatever", I ignorantly stated. Then, slowly realization of the truth came to me and we hopped in a vehicle and headed on over... • To …
Keeping up with Toronto
Next week, I'm finally packing all my belongings into a rickety U-Haul and hitting the road for Toronto. Apparently things happen occasionally in that city and I want to keep abreast of the goings-on in Toronto and its environs. I've already been introduced to the Toronto edition of Craigslist but …
Frisbee Golf Recap
Last weekend we held the second annual silverorange frisbee golf tournament for charity. Despite some overcast weather that literally threatened to rain on our event, everything went really well and we had a great turn out. Thank-you to everyone who braved the hilly course at Strathgartney. Thanks …
Civilizations are Crumbling
It's been a depressing couple of weeks for me in a literary way. I've just finished reading Asimov's Foundation and HG Well's The Time Machine and I've just begun Jane Jacob's Dark Age Ahead. I started each book entirely without consciously choosing a common theme and I ended up reading three …
Mozilla Store Launched
I'll try to not get into the habit of posting on my weblog everytime silverorange launches a new site, but this one seems special. On Sunday night, the new Mozilla Store went live and we're pretty excited. • We designed this site from the ground up, including the front-end interface and a …
