The dog police

It’s been a while since I’ve had any juicy stories to post, and this is a doozy. First, as always, a little background. In the first week in this new apartment, I had an interaction with my new neighbour. He was halfway down the corridor outside my apartment, I was at the door. We were a […]

Alive

Yes, I am still alive. Between work, other bloggery, twitter and other projects (coming soon), this blog has fallen by the wayside I’m afraid. Still, I’m posting this!
