More Snow

We got more snow. Good stuff. Anyway, on the day of the storm, I adsent mindedly went north on the Yonge subway line instead of south. Getting off at the next stop and walking over to the south platform gave me the chance to snap for pictures of the open Rosedale station.


Geekiness: Geek Test and Geek Code

So, I seem to score higher on the Geek Test every time I take it, which I guess proves that my life is a continuing expedition of geekiness. Anyhow, taking the test tonight scored me a 54.04339%, ranking me as a super geek. I guess my years as a comic book store employee paid off.

Anyhow, as an addition to taking the test, I decided to figure out my current Geek Code, as it's been quite a few years. I have to say, quickly, that the Geek Code is really starting to get out of date. X-Files and Babylon 5 have been off the air for some time, though I still love to watch B5. Further, when the Macintosh options include, "Macs suck. All real geeks have a character prompt," it's dating itself to pre-Mac OS X. Also, the sheer number of USENET related geek-ratings. The code is definitely in need of an update. Anyhow, I'll still post my code for kicks.

All my scifi dreams are becoming reality.

Museum Station

So, the renovation of Museum Station is comming along. They still have a ways to go, but I'm starting to see where they're going, and I like the look of it (unlike my opinion of the actual museum, but I'll post about my hatred of their idiotic crystal another time).
