I’ve been running into the misspelling “definately” more and more. That’s why I’m glad that someone finally set up a web site that explains that the word is spelled “D-E-F-I-N-I-T-E-L-Y”. You know, from the same root word as “define”.
The only thing scarier than seeing famous Open Source spokesgeek Eric S. Raymond in mid-make-out…
…is seeing Steve Jobs and Bill Gates just prior to making out!
Where can you find these images? On Global Nerdy, the tech blog I run with my pal George! Check it out! End of exclamation marks!
As long as we’re having unseasonably cold temperatures, could I have one these, please?

Throwing the horns at Queen’s Park, May 1999, on the first day I took the accordion out on the street.
While waiting to pick up my sister and her family at Pearson’s Terminal 1 last night (and oh yes, is Terminal 1 so much nicer than the skank-o-riffic Terminal 2), I noticed a young woman holding up a sign right by the doors leading to the baggage claim area. This wasn’t noticeable in itself. There are always a half-dozen or so folks with signs like that; some with names of people, others with names of tour groups.
What made this woman’s sign unusual was the name on it: Paul Stanley.
The KISS guitarist? I thought. Of course that would be the first thing that came to my mind. I’m a former solider in the KISS Army (I filled out a form at the age of 10 and got a small kit including some stickers and buttons plus an announcement of their upcoming movie, Kiss Meets the Phantom of the Park.)
Ten minutes later, Paul Stanley emerged from baggage claim. He was actually looking good — pretty healthy, wearing a black blazer, black shirt, black scarf, jeans and dress shoes. He looked more like an architect (of either buildings or software) or ad exec than a rock star, and nobody seemd to know who he was.
Naturally, I “threw the horns” at him with a silent nod and a smile, and got a nod and smile back. Then, the young woman walked off with him, presumably to a waiting limo.
Welcome back to Accordion City, Paul.
Accordion vs. Rock Star An entry in which I encounter various rock stars, armed with my accordion. Hilarity ensues.
I’m going to have to learn how to leave tips that scream “Accordion Guy appreciates your service!”, like the one in the video below:

Tonight is the greatest night of my life…because I’m gonna get laid.
Congrats, Rafy and Bernadeth!
