I’ve been sick for the last couple of days, so when I was flipping channels with my girlfriend and saw this recipe on the tele, I knew we had to try it.

Hey everyone, just wanted to say happy Pi Approximation day… as opposed to actual pi day which is March 14th. So why is today Pi Approximation day you may ask? 22nd day divded by the 7th month = 3.14. Also here is the first birthday card I received today from my co-workers.

So for Canada Day, I decided to make Stuffed Bell Peppers based on a recipe a co-worker had given me a while back, then mixed it up with some past experience and came up with the following recipe.

Hey everyone, Happy Holidays, Happy New Year and I’ll see everyone in the new year.

over the holidays our servers will be receiving some large upgrades as well, just in time for christmas!

Okay I’m going to use the snow storm we had over the weekend as an excuse for the few posts I had last week… make sense? Probably not, but let’s go with it anyway! Calgary got hit with one of the largest blizzards we’ve had in a while, last Friday. More than 1,000 accidents were reported in the first 24 hours of the storm across the city and with winds of up to 70km/h, the snow blew into drifts higher than most cars in places. Check out the full picture archive that reader Bill sent me after the break.

Thanks for the pictures Bill!

Are you one of those players that always enjoyed the side quests and the little games in Zelda? I bet you really liked completing that game 100% didn’t you? Well I hope you know that I think you’re a douche for doing that! The princess needs saving and you’re too busy collecting jugs or collecting all the poe’s in order to get some stupid mask!! Kinda funny if you think about it actually… short bus funny that is! HIYO!
