Missing Mary Road

star trek: the next generation, season 7.

it’s all over folks. its the end of all at good things. (ha. ha. ha.) err..sorry bad joke. brent spiner shines as always. what i loved about tng was that they kicked it up a notch from the original series and instead of the federation saving every known alien species in the galaxy from civil war, they brought the issues back to the ship and spoke more of culture and social reform. the philosophy of star trek did a complete turn around. the original series was too openly americanized. bringing about a russian, a negroid, an oriental and a neutral vulcan on board really didn’t achieve much in the height of the cold war. kirk wasn’t the saviour of all galaxies. tng built up characters and gave up the idea of saving planets. that’s what rocked. also picard, unlike kirk, had some respect for the prime directive.

all in all, probably one of the best tv shows ever produced and not cancelled. (hint: watch firefly)

nothing like splurging for a damn good steak. next time, try napoleon’s steakhouse and sea food grill.

also give tim horton’s steeped tea a shot.

what is wrong with the previous sentence. strangely enough, theres no apostrophe in tim hortons. try figuring that one out.

needed some rest. a bit groggy again. it’s been a long week. tony almeida has been shot. must find out what happens next.

must see serenity.

serenity will make all things good.

also this is one of the funniest things i’ve read in a long time, over at wilwheaton.net

so this week flew by. it’s funny how understanding people can be and how much i can love them. anyway, here’s an interesting post from the genius of bruce schneier.

how to hack the papal elections.

started 24, season 3.

i love it when shahid afridi has a pathan breakfast.

wicked is coming back to toronto.

i really feel like a game of trivial pursuit. i have decided that it is now officially the best board game i have ever played.

get well soon sasha. serenity will be here soon. and jack will save ctu. and all will be good. the joker is insane and neil gaiman is still writing.

google sightseeing, a blog featuring highlights from google maps satellite view.

i enjoy being at home.

serenity. can’t wait. batman begins. can’t wait.

good night.

computer associates server support, unlike compaq, costs $350 US and is only available after 8 am. they officially suck.

twenty four hours in the office in a very cold server room in a very cold country really sucks.

scientists at harvard university have shown how ultra-cold atoms can be used to freeze and control light to form the “core” — or central processing unit – of an optical computer. optical computers would transport information ten times faster than traditional electronic devices, smashing the intrinsic speed limit of silicon technology.

mangni etc.
shadi etc.

ever sit around the office wondering what the heck you are doing here? what is it that you do that contributes to the economy, to the community, to the people around you and close to you?

dolly parton was a horrid actress. what the heck was jane fonda doing on that show? three female employees of a “sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot” find a way to turn the tables on their employer.

can anybody say 80′s?

oh, in other news…inzi kicks ass.
