This morning I woke up and found the obituary for my grandmother in the paper. Here it is: Maria Theresa Morin MORIN, Maria Theresa – It is with great sadness that the family announce the peaceful passing of Maria Theresa Morin at the Saint John Regional Hospital on Sunday June 29, 2008. Born 1935 in…
I decided to sit and watch the new council, and once again I am truly appalled how the new council is directing itself back into the dark ages. If any group of people could burst Saint John’s economic bubble it would be this group. Item 10.2 was the request to start the progress by approving…
On Wednesday I went to the “Harbour Station Community Fair” with some friends. I really enjoyed the bupper cars but really fairs are still not my thing. I did manage to take some cool streaky cameraphone pic of the evening lights at the rides. There were alot of the standard typical rides there: Glass House…
I just was pumped and bought a 2GB stick of RAM, pulled open the the MacBook. Placed the RAM in and what happend as I turned it on… Nothing… Now that I read online about this there are many cases where this is caused by not putting the RAM in far enough. But then I…
I just returned from Toronto. This time i went up with Tony, and it was a good trip. The best part of it was playing with my new camera. If you haven’t seen it yet the link is http://pics.cefm.ca/v/toronto2008/ to my gallery. I was having interesting situations where I had not read the manual enough in…
I know the pic has caught your attention, and you are wondering what my new toy is. Well without further ado here it comes… Well maybe now… okay it is the Canon PowerShot S5 IS. This thing is the most amazing piece of technology I have ever owned. I’m sorry MacBook, but can you do…
So we all know how the election turned out. As every one that knows me knows I enjoy relating the statistics. This year 23,977 voted for a mayor candidate, 24,078 voted in total. Therefore, 101 voters did not vote a mayor. In 2004, 25,489 voted for a mayor, 448 voted for me. Between 2004-2008 Saint…
Yesterday was a very interesting day for my birthday. For a change people seemed nicer. It seems like it was no time ago, let alone four years ago today that (in 2004) today (May 11th) I was working at Client Logic, done after a hectic month and a half of campaigning and just waiting for…
So, at this point I can’t be persuaded on a candidate because I already voted. I do believe in open transparency in politics, and since lynch mobs are so 1800’s I’m going to revile my votes. Mayor of Saint John: Michael Richardson At-Large: Danny Jardine and Chris Titus Ward 4: Kevin Goggan and Ralph Landers
Guest post by Tony Tompkins: After seeing the trailer once again since seeing the movie, I feel as if the trailer displayed more action then what was in the final cut. I can appreciate the storyline as well as the action sequences in this motion picture; however, I believe the movie could have had better…
So now that I have looked into the election a little harder, I am changing some of the options. Mayor:Mike Richardson- I’m not quite sure what it is but Mike seems to have a well thought out plan, no dirt and the just has a personality that one would pay attention to as mayor. Councillor…
As the signs start rising again leads to another dilemma again of who to vote for. Here are my options with names I’m not even considering crossed off: Mayor: Ivan Court John P. Ferguson Michelle Hooton Norm McFarlane Mike Richardson Councillor At Large: Stephen Chase Susan E. Huestis-Toner Danny Jardine Mark LeBlanc Rick Mantle Anne-Marie…
I’ve worked hard on editing a lot of the content on this site. I’m even just found most of my old university essays, and am going to get around to posting them soon in the writings section. I even have a few pieces of my poetry that I wrote to add here. As you noticed…

With the recent water bans an the lack of news coverage in the wee hours of the evening I was pondering if there was a better way for the City of Saint John to post urgent notices. And I had thought of using the technology of today, and an approach of making it easier to…
I never really expected to see this, this morning the DVD Forum is about to abandon HD-DVDs. Once again a format can be added the Hall of “you never had a chance” along with other failures like Beta, 8-Track, and not to forget LaserDisk.
Why do the cell phone companies make it so hard on you to find a phone that suits “you.” I have been on the hunt now for the predecessor to my Nokia 6620 that is now cloning in on a four-year old design of a phone. I wasn’t even lucky enough to have a battery…
Because I want to make a post but did not have a topic, so I am going to make this post about my new MacBook. I really am now wishing my main computer was a mac but this is really one of the best computers I have used. (Leave comments with your recommendations). I’ve still…
Studio: Cohen / Pearl Productions / Lakeshore Entertainment Released: January 2008 CEFM Rating: 3.5/5 I was unsure as to how this feature would work for my taste; however, I found this film to have an unbelieveable storyline. Also, I was shakened by the disturbing context of the murders. Despite the great story and un-nerving content, I…
So, I have been covering curling on Rogers Television lately and I find myself becoming attached to the sport. So the job hunt seems to be going well. It seems easier this time than in the past. I’m going to go see “Meet the Spartans” tonight I’ve been waiting to see that for a while….
