I wrote previously about the idea of the electric car, citing such documentaries as ‘Who Killed the Electric Car’ (here), and discussing the work of manufacturer Tesla Motors (here). Here is some additional info on this interesting field that I learned recently. After all, it would be nice to get away – at a reasonable price - from the [...]
I think I’ve unintentionally ruffled a few feathers with regards to my recent observations about graffiti found in the Sudbury area. In the last little while, I have received three comments – each fairly lengthy - on my October 2007 post, ‘Graffiti Repeaty‘. Click on that article and scroll down to the bottom to see the comments – they are worth reading.
Apparently, [...]
Yet another unrepentant follow-up comment just showed up on one of my graffiti-themed posts from last year, this time from local self-proclaimed graffiti “artist”, X-ray. Scroll down to the bottom of that post to read it.
This happened to come up just as an article [click here if that link is not available] on the topic was published in the local Sudbury Star [...]
Please be assured that no, I’m not intending to make this website into a tabloid blog á la Weekly World News, even if the title may appear a little bombastic. As I carefully scrutinize the headlines for news of note, even some oddball releases do warrant an appearance here.
So yes, sometimes it’s surprising, the things that happen in Sudbury. Though [...]
Local fast food restaurant Deluxe Hamburgers is very much a Sudbury-area main-stay. Since the 1960’s, their (only) three locations have served up a variety of delicious locally-made burgers, exquisite french fries (made from potatoes grown in the area), incomparable milkshakes, and a delicious special sauce (for dipping everything) which is tremendously addictive. (A compareable Toronto-area chain would be [...]
About a month ago, on my way to work, I was astounded to observe a large diesel-powered locomotive venting a very unappetizing cloud of dark smoke, as it plodded along the train tracks adjacent to the city streets. This train appeared similar to the CPR (Canadian-Pacific Railway) lead engine seen here (and just below), and pulled a decent amount of freight behind it. [...]
Whenever I go out to eat at a restaurant, I will generally have room left for dessert after the main course, but I always had a feeling that this part of the menu seemed wildly overpriced. Usually, regardless of how piquantly tempting the photograph in the menu appears, or how mouth-watering sounds the sugar-enraptured descriptions provided by the waitress, my [...]
I was having some fun with the digital camera during my lunch hour recently, snapping photos of interesting sites while roaming around a certain section of the trainyards near the downtown. I had to get some photographs showcasing my recently gained knowledge for an assignment in a digital photography course I had enrolled myself in.
And as it turned out, this one actually went over [...]
Back in August 2006, I posted (what I felt to be) a relatively neutral entry about the sudden spike in incidences of graffiti stencilling I had noticed in an area nearby. Well, this past April 23rd, a defensive comment was inserted in the article from “Fubar” who appeared to be standing up on behalf of Bimo’s unique ability, as well as [...]
I am headed down south to Florida today for a week’s vacation. The Sudbury area experienced unseasonably balmy weather for the start of the winter (until around early-mid-January), but at last, ruthless freezing temperatures have arrived. Take a quick look at the image here. Today is unquestionably the coldest day of the year so far, particularly [...]
