A quick fix for my car

The wonderful government of British Columbia decided back in 1992 that it would require mandatory emmisions testing of all vehicles before allowing them to be insured. Since my insurance was up on Saturday, it was time for me to take the oh-so-enjoyable AirCare test again. (To be honest - there are more beater cars elsewhere in the province that make up for all the “emissions savings” that AirCare has helped with)

Kinda gimmicky, but it works

So, I’m usually not one for all kinds of fancy crap, but I needed a new razor the other day, and decided to see what this “power razor” stuff is about. I picked up the Gilette Fusion Power, and was pleasantly surprised. It makes the blades a hot knife, and your chin hairs turn to butter.

Two thumbs up. :)

More new furniture!

So… I’m in the process of trying to reorganize my life - belongings, direction, everything. I managed to clean up all the clutter on my desk last week, and yesterday, I picked up a used Ikea TV stand that would also hold all my media electronics. It looks purdy… have a look for yourself.

Now I have a place to put all my equipment, movies, games, and accessories, and it all looks nice and clean. :)
