Dennis has left the building

Posted by: Geoff In: Critical Mass

I remember a young whipper-snapper starting at Critical Mass nigh-six years ago. Another newbie, Angie, had mentioned that she’d brought his stuff out from Winnepeg. Not that I was far off from being a newbie myself — it had only been a couple of months since I had started.
Since then, Dennis grew from being a [...]

How do I know what I seem to know?

Posted by: Geoff In: General

Ever find yourself providing information to someone as an “expert”, where the point of view flows from your lips as easily as drinking a glass of water, and then after you’ve finished wonder where you learned all that?

Oscar Night: The 78th Academy Awards

Posted by: Geoff In: Pop Culture

You could almost have called last night’s telecast “The George Clooney Show”. That man attracts far too much attention for being only one person in Hollywood.
That’s not to say that he doesn’t deserve attention, but come on…
I have to admit, I wasn’t particularly thrilled to hear that Jon Stewart was going to host the Oscars. [...]
