Now with less malware

By Adam Snider | Published: April 23, 2012

You may have noticed that I haven’t blogged a lot lately. You may have seen some security warnings pop up when you tried to visit this site. I got hacked. And I didn’t actually realize it for a long time. Partly, this was because I hadn’t bothered to log in to blog. When I did [...]

An Open Letter to the Man Who Shares My Name

By Adam Snider | Published: February 17, 2012

Dear Adam Snider of Berkeley, CA (formerly of Chicago, IL), Stop using my email address to sign up for things. You do not own adamsnider[at]gmail[dot]com. I do. I’ve received numerous emails from the University of Chicago. I don’t know how you ever managed to register for courses or receive information from the university when you [...]

Thinking Ahead

By Adam Snider | Published: February 15, 2012

When I graduated from my undergraduate degree, I thought I was done with school. At the time I couldn’t imagine pursuing another degree. And now I’m in grad school. I admit that I was a bit reluctant to enroll in a graduate program, at first. I wasn’t particularly interested in going back to school, but [...]

When are you celebrating Valentine’s Day this year?

Because Valentine’s Day is on a Wednesday Tuesday night this year, I imagine that a lot of people will be celebrating the holiday d’amour on the weekend instead on the actual day. When are you celebrating? Answer the poll below or, if it’s already closed, leave me a comment.

Unwanted Sexual Advances

By Adam Snider | Published: January 23, 2012

I take the bus to work everyday during the fall and winter months. Depending on my work schedule, I take the bus at different times. Usually, I’m on the bus by around 8:10am. Occasionally, however, I am on the bus a bit later than that. On the later bus, there is a young man of [...]

Meatless Sandwiches

By Adam Snider | Published: January 20, 2012

As a part of my on-going quest to eat less meat, I have been trying to find some options for meatless sandwiches beyond PB&J. I’ve made a few vegetable sandwiches, but they rarely turn out well. I did make a good one last week: heavy on the sprouts, which added nice flavour and are dry [...]

To Live and Die in Edmonton

By Adam Snider | Published: January 18, 2012

I’m getting antsy. I’m getting an urge to move. I often get the urge to move away from Edmonton. I’ve never acted upon it, obviously, but it hits me from time to time. Maybe it’s the recent cold snap. Maybe I just want to be somewhere that isn’t here, right now. But, then, I find [...]

Sick day

By Adam Snider | Published: January 13, 2012

I’m only in the second week of my new, three-times-weekly publishing plan and I’ve already missed a day. To be fair, I was out sick on Wednesday. I didn’t go to work. I didn’t really do anything. I slept most of the day. I’m back in business, though. I’m hoping to put together my review [...]

Pimp My Uno

By Adam Snider | Published: January 9, 2012

Since Christmas, Sara and I have developed an unofficial habit of playing board games and/or card games on Sunday evenings. Cribbage is becoming our go-to game, but we’re also fond of Catan for Two. Recently, we played Uno. I’m sure you’ve played Uno. Most people have played it as kids and will remember it as [...]

Resolutions

By Adam Snider | Published: January 4, 2012

I’ve been thinking about New Year’s resolutions. Like many people, I make them every year. Like most people, I abandon them sometime in early to mid-February. Should we abandon the idea of New Year’s resolutions? Is the idea of trying to start new habits around a relatively arbitrary date worthwhile or does it feel forced [...]
