"I'm not too good with left and right or east and west, but north south isfine, why is that?"
The only way I can remember left from right is that I draw with my right hand. If you ever see me giving directions, you'll probably see me raise my hands and then look from one to the other. In Montreal, South is the water, North the mountain. East and West has historically been divided into French and English respectively, separated by St. Laurent Blvd (The Main) which goes down to the water. It also goes North, at which point the whole scheme falls apart since Montreal is an island. Some maps of the city even adjust their printed compass to compensate for the fact that when we point North, we're actually pointing North-East.

is possibly the only thing that saved an otherwise aggravating trip to Popeworld. That and the knowledge that I really don't like Michealangelo's work very much. By the time we got to St. Peter's in the morning,
The Man was busy blessing pilgrims, many decked out in fancy Jubilee 2000 outfits. We had to pass through metal detectors and I beeped because I had left my Visor in my back pocket. Without even thinking, I whipped it out and lay it on top of the x-ray machine forgetting that I had put a
Satan Has Your Nose sticker on the cover. "What's that?" the security guard asked. "A computer," I replied, bracing for a fight. "Oh. Okay," she said, waving me through.

"is essentially a monkey wrench in the machinery of online piracy. The method is relatively simple - by creating an mp3 and renaming it to whatever your devious mind desires you can subvert the machinery. It's that easy - Napster users trust that what they see is what they get but we have the power to change what they get." via

"Little did I know ... that this would be the beginning of a long, painful odyssey through the world of dot-com parties, a dark existential journey that would teach me little about myself and next to nothing about other people, except that they make more money than I do."
