Carter

Posted on February 17, 2012 by LeSombre

Goodbye number 8. In many ways it’s hard to explain why I’m so sad at Gary Carter‘s passing. The guy played catcher for the Montreal Expos from 1974 to 1984, I was 13 when he left Montreal. That was 27 … Continue reading →

Mado

Posted on October 18, 2011 by LeSombre

 My brother’s Mother-In-Law – Mado – died yesterday morning after a long battle with brain Cancer. As I suspected, people on Twitter did not spend the night Tweeting about her. They did not make graphics with her quotes, direct people … Continue reading →

Steve

Posted on October 6, 2011 by LeSombre

Your time is limited so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma, which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. … Continue reading →

I’m about to kill someone. GRRRRRRR!

Posted on October 26, 2010 by LeSombre

We used to have our own server room. Walking distance from my office. Easy access. Somehow, the computer service people convinced us to move all our servers in their computer room. What they sold us: “The computer room is climate-controlled!” … Continue reading →

Death

Posted on August 27, 2010 by LeSombre

I see death as a sort of ever-changing blob of goo that moves slowly down my family tree. This is my family tree. Well, just my side of the family. All my grand-parents are dead. For years now, Death has … Continue reading →

Posted on February 22, 2010 by LeSombre

Oh yeah, it’s Monday all right. This is “Disintegration” from Luke Chueng. I gotta keep it together. I might kill someone before the day is over*. Stay tuned. *Of course I won’t. But if I did, wouldn’t this be messed … Continue reading →

Ripped (yes, the muscle thing)

Posted on January 12, 2010 by LeSombre

There’s this joke in French. It goes like this: Je m’entraîne pour avoir un corps d’athlète. J’ai déjà commencé par avoir le pied d’athlète. It translates something like this: I’m training to get an athlete body. I already started with … Continue reading →

Focus on Peace – Reddux.

Posted on September 11, 2009 by LeSombre

I posted this same image last year. I’m reposting it again this year, because quite frankly, I have absolutely nothing to say about 9/11. But… I feel that publishing something about my kids, my work or my Wii would be … Continue reading →

Well lookadat. I finally make a graphic, and Kidless Week is cancelled? WTF? Actually, it’s not really cancelled. It’s just put on hold on account of bacterial tonsillitis. At this point it’s only LovelyWife’s issue, but I am told by … Continue reading →

Well, it finally happened.

Posted on June 20, 2009 by LeSombre

My home computer is dead. My seven year-old AMDK6 1.3GHz with 1G of RAM and 80G main HDD (second 320G HDD) just stopped working. Actually, it’s the main HDD that died. So now the question is: Do I get a … Continue reading →

I thought I was hip and cool

Posted on April 15, 2009 by LeSombre

Turns out I’m leaning more towards the “cold and needs a hip replacement” on the hip to hip continuum. You see, my niece is on Facebook.  But that’s not what makes me feel old.  She’s going to turn 15 this … Continue reading →

Oops I did it again.

Posted on April 7, 2009 by LeSombre

LovelyWife almost set the house on fire tonight. Again. That’s awesome, because I didn’t know what to blog about for today. She was cooking meatballs in the oven – the frozen kind that you just throw in the oven – … Continue reading →
