The new Sloan EP Hit & Run has dropped (as they say) and it's pretty good. If you're unfamiliar with Sloan I'll make the assumption that you don't live in Canada but if you do... shame on you. And if you don't live here you should move, I'll wai...

This is why I love going to Wal-Mart without the kids so I can stop and window shop and enjoy awesome toys. It's a rare occurrence and I totally have to thank my parents for looking after the boys for a few hours on the weekend. Sadly they are bo...

I don't know how many of my fellow VOXer's read Team Vox's latest post but there is now a free version of Typepad called Typepad Micro. I'm guessing with the prevalence of Twitter (@grantalias), Six Apart wanted to get into the micro blog / statu...

Dora & Diego... Again

nobody@vox.com(grantalias) — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 08:25:36 -0500

In what's turning into a yearly event, the local mall had Dora & Diego for a two hour meet and greet. Carts enjoyed it much more than last year. When we talked about going ET said it was for babies... that's a five year old for you. He did say he...

Wiiware Demos? About Time!

nobody@vox.com(grantalias) — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 02:12:13 -0500

In the three years I've had my Wii I've probably played my Xbox 360 more (and I've only had that for the last year). All be it fun and the source of all my plastic guitar collection, the Wii has always had glaring short comings in the features de...

Live From The Twitter: The Return of Posts... Hopefully

nobody@vox.com(grantalias) — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 06:30:25 -0400

If you're a regular or long time visitor here to grantalias, you're probably thinking with the regularity of posts I'm either dead or living in a cave. Neither of which is true but sure feels like it sometime. As you can see in the photo below we ...

Hail in June

nobody@vox.com(grantalias) — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 09:45:15 -0400

The Montreal region had a pretty big storm the 25th of June. Gusting winds and rain strong enough to knock out the satellite (it doesn't happen that often). The real surprise was the marbles sized hail that came down near the end of the storm. ...

First Camping

nobody@vox.com(grantalias) — Sun, 05 Jul 2009 10:30:34 -0400

We visited with our friends Aaron & Cynthia and their kids at their cottage on Saturday (all be it a little later then we planned, first camping of the season is always rough and takes forever to pack for). Let's just say it's never a good si...
