A veritable smorgasbord of luscious Jaguar delicacies awaits young and old over at the Railhead Design steak house and screen door company. Drop what you’re doing right now, then go there and take a long, drooling look before the non-disclosure enforcement goons at Apple wake up and start stuffing cease and desist letters under the … More

All right, enough with the lollygagging. I finally stuck a crowbar into the code for the available domain name of the week page, and with the finesse of a weekend carpenter pulling rotten clapboard off a handyman special, I pried out all of the affiliate links pointing back to Verisign.

It’s the first week of May in Calgary, so naturally that means that it’s snowing. Wet, stick-to-everything, springtime snow that is at least partly responsible for the minor power outages over the past couple of hours.
