It’s Pi Day, the day that math geeks everywhere celebrate the ability to measure properties of a circle. Hooray for Pi Day! I don’t mean to boast, but I am awesome at math. Oh sure, I would be a little rusty these days, but back in the day I rocked the calculus world. I remember […]

I am in a mood. A MOOD, people. It’s a good thing I am not armed, or have violent tendencies. And lest we think that this is Daylight Savings Time related, it actually isn’t. Wait, did you just correct me to say that it’s Daylight SAVING Time, not SAVINGS? Well, prepare to be stabbed. I […]

I was so excited to open up this month’s O Magazine, and not just because it contained Adam Glassman’s spring fashion look book – which turned out to be a disappointment, anyway.

This morning the world is white and grey, snow falling and the colour of the sky perfectly matching that of the ground.
