Onward!

By Adam Snider | Published: January 2, 2012

Another year is upon us. Corks were popped. Noisemakers were blown. Kisses were exchanged. 2012 arrived. With the dawning of a new year, I am going to attempt to blog more frequently. I’m aiming for three posts a week. I’m planning a M-W-F publishing schedule, but I likely won’t hold myself to those specific days [...]

What I Got For Christmas

By Adam Snider | Published: December 28, 2011

I feel like it might be a bit crass to talk about what I got for Christmas in a public forum like this, but I got some cool stuff so I figured I’d share. While I am very happy with everything that I got for Christmas, two of my favourite items are the Kobo Touch [...]

Best Life Events of 2011

By Adam Snider | Published: December 22, 2011

The past year was not a great one for me. It was a tough slog. Lots of personal and family issues popped up over the course of the year that ultimately had me stressing out or downright depressed for much of the year. I won’t dwell on many of those things here, mostly because I [...]

Soft Launch

By Adam Snider | Published: December 16, 2011

Life has been hectic for the past few months. I was working, I was in school, and I even managed to sneak in a two-week trip to Newfoundland. I haven’t blogged much in that time. Partly, I have been enamoured with other webby things: Google+ and MetaFilter, mostly. And partly, I just haven’t felt the [...]

Mock Duck and Other Meat Alternatives

By Adam Snider | Published: October 4, 2011

I’m trying to eat less meat. I’ve got a few different reasons for doing this—health, environmental, and financial. The one thing I’ve been worried about, though, is how to get enough protein in my diet without eating meat As it turns out, this isn’t that hard, especially since I’ll simply be limiting my meat intake, [...]

A Sad Day

By Adam Snider | Published: August 22, 2011

I’ll get back to the last of my Three Sentence Fringe Reviews shortly, but I wanted to take a moment to talk about my feelings. No, this is not going to be an episode of “Dear LiveJournal.” I just want to say that today has been a strange and sad day. First, my vacation ended [...]

Uniforms

By Adam Snider | Published: August 10, 2011

I own a lot of clothes. I own too many clothes, really. Partly, this is because I tend to wear mostly the same few things but don’t want to get rid of the things that I don’t wear if they’re in good condition. I paid for them, after all, and it would be wasteful to [...]

A New Brotherhood

By Adam Snider | Published: June 30, 2011

I belonged to a brotherhood, once. It was a brotherhood of gentlemen who enjoy scotch whisky. It was a good brotherhood. Good drinks were drank and splendid conversations were had. Eventually, however, the brotherhood began to shrink. One brother moved away. Another quit drinking. Still another just sort of stopped responding to the emails. The [...]

On Working For Myself (Sort of)

By Adam Snider | Published: June 20, 2011

I work at a student association. In that regard, I work for students. I am now a student. As such, I am represented by the association that employs me. In that regard, I work for myself. If we are our own worst critics, my new “boss” is going to be a real hard ass.

On the Subject of Cat Ownership

By Adam Snider | Published: June 17, 2011

I live alone. And while this is generally fine by me, it is occasionally lonely. It would be nice to come home to a happy and furry little face. I’m talking about a pet. Specifically, a cat. I used to think I was a dog person, but I think I’m actually a cat person. I [...]
