The NHL Uniforms site makes a point of showcasing the awful third jersey designs from the 1990s.

But, really, you need to see these jerseys on the players to appreciate how awful they were.

Starting next week, I’ll be working the night shift at CBC.ca. After a week of shadowing, I’ll be running the ship from midnight to 8 a.m. from Sunday night to Friday morning.

Be afraid.

New m@b.

Go look.

*goes back to watching 24*

Here, go blow a couple of hours browsing the Complete History of NHL Uniforms.

Well, if I’m not gonna blog about what going on in my life, I should at least link to some stuff I’ve been writing lately:

Russian knock-out gas

Chechnya

Canadian Wheat Board

Livent

North Korea

Geographic Profiling

And read Tara’s Washington diary entry if you haven’t yet.

OK, so this was in poor taste:

Alison and I were playing Unreal Tournament over the Internet last night. We
were in a sniper duel and she was jumping around like crazy to make it hard for
me to take aim.

Over the phone, I say to her, “Why can’t you just stand there pumping gas or
something?”

Cardamom is just the best smell in the world.

Sometimes, chance will intervene and a product name that seemed perfectly fine at the time will later seem just so wrong.

And sometimes something outrageously inappropriate will sneak by even the sharpest eyes, such as the ad at the bottom of the front page of Tuesday’s Sydney Morning Herald (.pdf document).

And sometimes… wait… what was my point again?

I learned two things this morning.

One: It takes longer than fifteen minutes to put my contacts in. At least for now.

Two: Putting hair wax into bed head will not make it instantly cool-looking.

Sorry, still getting used to these contacts.

I’ll go on cam tonight to show off my pretty face.
