So I've finally got my shit together and created a new blog, abandoning my old blog after 4 or so years. Frankly, it's hard to stay motivated blogging about music when so many other blogs out there do it better. But I did enjoy blogging immensely, so I've decided to make a blog with a more personal touch.

This blog will be mainly geared towards programming and interesting tech with a dash of hockey and music rants. Things I've been interested in recently are hadoop, redis, python and git. So expect some discussion on those topics as well as the up and coming hockey season and some hot jams.

In an unrelated note, Jack Layton died today. We have lost the most entertaining, charming and hardest working man in Canadian politics. His passion should be an inspiration to us all.

Stuart Thursby put together some great posters highlighting Jack's works that are worth a look [link].
