Some of you know of my fascination with Lego and some of you will know soon enough. Here’s a little fun -albeit stupidly simple- Lego game that I found on the Lego website.
Okay, never mind that. I tried embedding the game directly into my blog entry, but it broke the site’s template. [...]

Scamming the Scammers
Apparently, scamming scammers is becoming more and more popular. This is the second time I’ve heard of it, and I bet you we are going to hear more of it in the not so distant future.

Loaning Money and Saving the World
Okay, maybe it won’t save the world, but it’s a big step to making it a better place. Kiva is a website where you can loan money to businesses in the third world. A small amount of money makes a huge difference for them. There is risk involved, of course, but you [...]

Back to Work
I spent last weekend on the mainland at my parents place. For those of you who don’t know, my Dad and I started to build a hovercraft about four years ago, but then I moved to Vancouver Island and went and got married. For the last little while I have not really spent much time [...]

Speaking of which, we now have many baby-footprints on our truck’s windshield. How you ask? It’s easy, just follow these simple baby-steps:
Make a fist.

Daryl’s Brain is NOT Moving
I repeat, NOT moving. It would be far too much effort to do what I was thinking of doing with WordPress and it really isn’t worth it. I can get done what I want in other ways without fiddling with this finicky product.

It’s All a Matter of Perspective
A wise man once told me that he did not think that everyone saw the same thing. At the time he was referring to colours. When I tell you that I see the balloon as red, and you agree with me, how are we to know if we are both actually seeing the same colour, [...]

Daryl’s Brain-Burst
Every once in a while I get an energy boost to my mind. While it does result in extra physical energy, as often indicate by excessive rubbing of hands, it’s mostly mental. My brain just seems to go into some sort of hyper-thinking mode where I can’t focus on anything, and I get [...]
