Dante, Quit Rolling in Your Grave I've just made my very own hell. In truth, I didn't give it much thought, so don't diss my levels of hell selections. I don't actually know who Trixies or Riceboys are, but I'm going to find out. Hmmm...my 40 second Internet search produced no joy on Trixies, but I did learn what a Riceboy was. I should have known, as I grew up with a bunch of them. Mind you, we just called them 'rich Asian kids with money to burn.' Trixies, Scientologists Circle I Limbo Libertarians, Rednecks Circle II Whirling in a Dark & Stormy Wind Osama bin Laden, Bill Gates Circle III Mud, Rain, Cold, Hail & Snow Riceboys Circle IV Rolling Weights General asshats, The New York Yankees Circle V Stuck in Mud, Mangled River Styx Militant Vegans, Republicans Circle VI Buried for Eternity River Phlegyas Parents who bring squalling brats to R-rated movies Circle VII Burning Sands DMV Employees Circle IIX Immersed in Excrement New York Rangers Circle IX Frozen in Ice Design your own hell 10:42:53 AM      Trackback []    Internet

False Creek Geek I've started writing a technology column for the Yaletown View. It's a nascent bi-weekly neighbourhood magazine that covers the usual mix of cuisine, entertainment, sex, etc. Despite the fact that Yaletown is something of a nerdistan, I'm going to keep the writing pretty lightweight and (where possible) humourous. I've written for the Web for so long, it's a little strange to have permanent deadlines and to see your work on the deadtree stuff. My first column is on finding wireless access. The issue it's in comes out tomorrow, but you can get a preview here. Let me know if you've got any requests or ideas for columns. 10:29:29 AM      Trackback []    Internet Technology Vancouver
