TheStar.com - Snake, hamster inseparable zoo pals
Zookeepers at Tokyo’s Mutsugoro Okoku zoo presented the hamster — whose name means meal in Japanese — to Aochan as a tasty morsel in October, after the snake refused to eat frozen mice.
But instead of indulging, Aochan decided [...]

iPhoto-like Image Resizing with Javascript

By Jonathan + January 18th, 2006

Here’s some sweet image resizing action in a web-browser, while we wait for Fluxiom to blow us all away. Nicely done, my young padawan. Oh…and Luke? I am your father.

Thora Birch (instead of Scarlett Johansson)

By Jonathan + January 18th, 2006

I’m sure by this point every PC on the planet has downloaded at least one copy of Scarlett Johansson in that dress at the Golden Globes. Never the fan of going with the crowd, and desperate to post some sort of beautiful celebrity on my blog today, I settled on her friend from Ghost [...]

Quick Lookup

By Jonathan + January 18th, 2006

Wow, this is a great, fast way to dig up syntax and usage for PHP, MySQL, JS, and CSS. Why didn’t someone think of this a long time ago?! Well, I guess someone sort of did already, but this is still excellent. I’m serious, I’m picking up the phone to call my [...]

Decorating Shows Jump The Shark

By Jonathan + January 18th, 2006

Okay, that’s it! I can’t take one more decorating show on TV. It’s got to stop! They are all the same. We get it already, designers can improve your home. Let’s see them get rid of my cockroaches. That’s a decorating challenge I would like to see.

Private Healthcare in Canada vs. the NDP

By Jonathan + January 18th, 2006

I watched Jack Layton on CBC’s The National tonight and I was really struck by how the questions he was asked, closely match my own questions. If a Liberal candidate is ahead in one’s riding, isn’t a vote for NDP just a vote for the Conservatives? Why does the NDP keep attacking the [...]

By Jonathan + January 17th, 2006

Brooke Burke with Burger King

By Jonathan + January 15th, 2006

I have no idea where these came from, and I’m sure that I’m wrapped up in some weird publicity-stunt from those damn Whopper-pushers, but this was just too weird to pass up blogging

Tina O’Brien

By Jonathan + January 15th, 2006

Like most of you, I know Coronation Street as the crappy British soap-opera that the CBC throws on the air whenever they run out of good programming, but WOW, I might have to start watching if this talented actress is on it!

UPDATE: The more I look at that picture, the more she reminds [...]
