Don’t panic loyal readers (all five of you), this blog is not under new management. It just has a new name. I decided that since I don’t post a lot of personal stuff anymore, I wanted a domain name that would reflect that change. The seandwyer.net domain still works, but who the heck uses a [...]
Alright, I’ll admit there was no real “snow day” since it all happened over the weekend, but we got more snow in the Niagara Region last Saturday than I can remember getting in a very long time. Thinking back to when I was a kid in elementary school back in the 80’s, I feel like [...]
The ol’ personal blog has been pretty slow as of late, and I’ve been feeling the need to provide an update so I thought I would throw up a hefty post to cover some odds and ends that I’ve been putting off. I’m bringing back the long-play format for this one, so if you don’t [...]

I finally ended up ordering a Dell Dimension 9200 online, and although it was my first time buying a Dell, I have to say I was pretty impressed with both [...]
I’m back. You know, I really hate neglecting a blog, even when it’s beyond my control and not many people are reading it to begin with. I guess I have commitment issues, just the opposite kind you usually hear about. Crunch mode kicked in at work over the past few weeks, so not only did [...]
