I rarely participate in those Facebook causes. The last one I took part in was the cartoon characters one for child abuse awareness, and the only reason I did was because Sarah went into my Facebook account and did it for me. That, and it was kind of fun to see the cartoon ...

I hate the local online news sources. Why? Between the overwhelming number of advertisements, and the annoying uninformative headlines, its a waste of time trying to find the content that is truly important. The news. Take SooToday for example, one (if not, the) top source for online news. See the red square? That represents the news area ...
A weird thing happened this week. My wife received a cheque in the mail from the bank itself. It cited the account number of one of her investments, but gave no reason. There was no letter in the envelope explaining the cheque, and the envelope was handwritten. The cheque appeared legit, but when you don’t ...

Today started off pretty high, and worked its way into a low. I guess before I can really explain why, I should make it known what I do. I work for my municipality in the IT department. There, I maintain existing in-house and third-party systems, develop new systems, and support city employees who use the systems. ...
This week: There is some ice cream left in the fridge. After this post, I think I’ll have a bowl. I have a pretty important deadline at work that has been consuming a lot of my time, and everyone else’s work depends on. Once it’s done, I can get back to my web project, and I won’t ...
I’ve wanted it for a while, and finally it is mine. DanGowans.com. I’m getting a little older, and blogging under “The Howdy Kid” name just seems wrong to me now. After all, I did register howdykid.com back in high school. I’ve since graduated high school, gone through four years of university, and almost three full years ...
