A decade ago…

Thursday, August 21st, 2008

I became a Dad for the first time. To say that experience changed me would be a major understatement.

I love you my “petite coccinnelle”. You and your brother are the best things that happen in my life. Please don’t grow up too fast. ;-)

All right, I lied (again)

Just a quick Happy Birthday to:

  • Christian Pineault
  • Anne Simard
  • Marc Boutin

I know four persons born – including me – today. If you’re born today, let me know!

I was born at 00:25.

Upgrades

Saturday, July 19th, 2008

Hey,

No posts this weekend as I’m busy upgrading my WordPress to 2.6 and my age to 37.

Back on Monday!

P.S.: I lost my shirt in Las Vegas. All right it was just a t-shirt, but it was my “#000000 is the new black” t-shirt, and I loved that shirt! It confused the hell out of the Customs Agent at the airport. It confused the hell out of 98% of the people I met while wearing it. I’ll get another one.

Things I want for my Birthday

Sunday, July 13th, 2008

My B-day is just around the corner. I’ll be turning 37 in one week –  on July 20th. Holy crap!

In order to help my family and friends get a ton of presents for me, I decided to forfeit the usual “I don’t want anything thank you” attitude and just come up with an actual list of things that I want for my birthday.

  1. A Wacom Cintiq 21UX interactive pen display. Nothing says “I love you” like the gift of an expensive piece of hardware that would allow me to doodle while on the phone and then fill my blog with those childish doodles. Don’t you love me?
  2. A new computer to play City of Heroes on. My home computer is still pretty good for Internet browsing and e-mails, but it’s almost 6 years old! I definitely need something that will allow me to spend my nights and weekends in my office playing with my online friends while my family does… whatever they want. Come on, I get a new computer every 3 years at work…
  3. An iPhone with a prepaid one-year unlimited plan. Oups, scratch that, I’ll get one from the office. The office loves me more than you do. You should be ashamed.
  4. A motorcycle. Nothing too fancy, just a custom Titan. I would only be away one month while I help them build it. It’ll be great wouldn’t it? Then I could ride nights and weekends if not playing on my new computer.
  5. A nice painting with nice flowers that would go well in my living room. It’s even already framed. Come on!

So there you go, five four excellent choices. Please coordinate amongst yourselves so I don’t get two of the same. Thank you.

If all else fails, a email birthday wish always works. ;-)
