My Missing Nail

By | June 27, 2006

Just over three months ago I went to Fernie for a ski trip. While the skiing was fantastic, I came home with an unfortunate souvenir. I tried various methods to alleviate the pain and the bruising, but saw no success. I lived with the black toe, keeping it in hiding most days. Although when it… Read More »

My Technical Difficulties

By | June 11, 2006

If it is not broken, do not fix it. That is a golden rule, and one I have come to know all too well in the last ten days. Technical Difficulties I have been running my main computer off of water cooling for nearly three years now. I planned on using this machine even when… Read More »

My Rebate Plate

By | June 8, 2006

Even now I can not imagine how much time (and bricks) that took to pull off. Recently I noticed… Read More »

My Two Left Feet

By | March 17, 2006

I am not sure if it is broken. It hurts like something should be broken but I still have movement. The leader of my right foot and General of his little piglets has been seriously hurt in battle. Over the weekend in Fernie my toe would slam up against the inside of my boot every… Read More »
