20L / 5.3 gallon self venting diesel can. 
Purchased last year from the orange box and used a handful of times. 

Perfect condition, no holes. 
Even comes with a splash of unused diesel straight from the pump. 

Couple of ciders or a bottle of Pinot noir should do it.

Self Venting Diesel Can

Free to anyone who wants it:

Queen sized inflatable bed. 
Built-in electric pump with cord storage. 

Second picture shows it all bundled up in its storage bag. Soccer ball, sofa, and anything else seen in the pic are not included. 

It has a slow leak that I can’t find, and it also comes with a patch kit so a perfect match, I suppose. 

Pick-up near Lawrence and Yonge.

Queen Sized Inflatable Bed (needs repair) - $free

Issues 2-4 of the first Wolverine series and has classic art by Frank Miller and Joe Rubinstein with story by Chris Claremont. 

I’d estimate these books to be in the FN+/NM range and are ready for grading. 

What makes issues 2 and 3 particularly special is that they’re newsstand copies (not direct editions normally sold in comic shops) which means that they’d be more likely to be treated roughly - and they’re in great shape!

Open to offers but will be picky. 
GC or e-transfers. 

I’ve got more CGC graded comics and non-graded key issues so will be posting more soon so follow me / add to favourites and check back often.

Wolverine Limited Series 2-4 FN+/NM Frank Miller!!!

Classic Frank Miller that kicks off the Year One storyline. 

Origin of Batman retold
1st appearance of modern Catwoman

This is a must have book for any serious collector. 
I have parts 2, 3, & 4 (also CGC graded) coming in soon so may be able to provide the whole set in this series if you want.

Help, I’m drowning in BTZ!!!

Original artwork? I’ll check it out. 
Wine and booze? Always. 
Tickets to stuff for the kids? My Saturday afternoons would thank you. 
Clothes? Men’s shirts and tops that are size M or 15.5 (34/35) would do nicely. 

I’m open to just about anything along the lines of fun and unusual.

To echo a similar sentiment from a fellow Bun, I hope everyone affected by this senseless and cowardly act is as well as can be. 

My condolences to the family and friends of the deceased. Prayers for a speedy recovery to the injured. 

Today was a day that seemed to go a bit slower than the others. The air in the city seemed more still than normal. Even the rain seemed unsure if it should come. 

What I noticed as I carried on with my day were the simple acts of kindness - the people offering their seats on the subway to the elderly lady; the same lady offering to hold the baby of a mother who was struggling with her bags; the guy who held the shop door open for a kid who was on his way out - things that happen every day but stood out in stark contrast to the suffering and heartbreak in another part of the city. 

And in seeing these simple gestures of compassion, my sadness over the tragic events remained but stayed muted as the glowing good deeds gave the day its light.

Thanks for reading.

Take care of each other.

BTZ For Bunz!!!

...is one that you'll have great difficulty keeping lit. 

Be civilized, eat at a table inside and light your candles with ease and the confidence in knowing that the tea lights you keep in these will last far longer than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

A Candle In The Wind...

I have Benjamin Moore samples! 
Looking for 2 tokens per can. 

We have finished painting our house, and I sampled many popular Benjamin Moore colours before selecting a few.

I have the following sample cans, with more than enough paint for another round. No need to go and spend $$$ on a full can when you can get a sample for cheap!

White:
Hi, sorry for the massive delay. 
If you're still interested, here are what I have left:

Whites:
American White
Lily White

Grey's:
Beacon Grey
Cement Grey
Mt Rainier Grey
Silver Chain (little bit left in the can so I'll include it with anything else you take if you want)

Painting your house white or greige?

Charles Darwin's theory of evolution proposes that all species come from previous species by changing over time to adapt to altered conditions in their natural habitat. Those species that didn't adapt, died out. He based this theory on his observations of various insect, animal and human specimens during his five years as a naturalist aboard the HMS Beagle.   He probably wasn't nude for much of that voyage but who knows what the crew got up to in their down time. 

Upon publishing his theory and a bunch of really great drawings in On the Origin of Species in 1859, Darwin was vilified by competitor researchers and the Church who all held that all living things either existed as they appeared because they had been created that way by god or poofed into existence by an act of the same god.

I wonder what that generation would have thought about an 8gb and 2gb sd memory card each evolving into micro sd cards when one of those technological earthquakes I wrote about in another post, happened. I think probably not much since anyone born in the early 1800s probably would have died in shock at the sight of our world and all of its automated technology. 

On the other hand, these were probably an inspiration to the idea of creationism. I mean, imagine the level of intelligent design that went into making sure that expanding storage space didn't mean expanding the size of the memory card, and not only that but also made sure that it was adaptable to fit inside the original size card reader - now that's some serious intelligence! 
Silly creationists.

Darwinian As Fuck

What do technology and geology have in common besides being ways to observe the history of the world in moments of massive and often violent upheaval?

Well, both have to do with stuff that future generations will find buried in the ground.  Another thing they have in common is Japan.  

Japan is in an area of high siezmic activity caused by the subduction of tectonic plates that smash together softly or violently to various effect through tremors and earthquakes felt on the surface above.

Japan has also been at the epicenter of technological earthquakes ever since consumer electronics became a retail category. One such earthquake was when rewritable CDs (CD-RW) came along in 1997 with over 600 times more storage space than the average floppy disk. That's like being able to take only 100 mL shampoo containers in your carry-on (middle finger to the TSA) only to have Obama return for a third term and then being able to take an imperial of Pantene (or two double magnums or eight wine bottles) onboard - hello democracy!

Much like the shifting of tectonic plates that are swimming in seas of jelly rock 700 km below the very spot you (yes you!) are standing on at this very moment, technology shifts in the same way and floppy disks were all but washed away in the resulting tsunami after CD-RW, USB sticks and then cloud storage crashed onto the scene. 

So what's this all have to do with the movement from one storage medium to the next? Well, for those of you worried about Google and Apple knowing everything about your life,read on. 

First, don't panic.  We're miles in the future and miles away from Japan and its peace-fingers flashing earthquakes. 

Second, there's now an entire generation of humans who consider anything from the 90s to be ancient history and so they're more at risk of having their lives taken over by Skynet. 

The point is that while those sweet naive fools are running for their lives as Terminator drones pick them off, you can enjoy life in your foil-lined bunker, playing Doom and cruising chat rooms on IRC with the simple and comforting knowledge that you have your entire life securely spread over a bunch of offline spinners in a shoebox under your cot.

Japanese Earthquakes

Imagine a world where everyone got along because everyone minded their own business and that conflicts were carried out in peaceful manners because people's business didn't mess with other people's business. 

Nice idea, right?

I was riding the subway on my way to work one morning around 8:30am when a girl got on at Rosedale station. She stood out for two reasons. The first was that she was a she and not one of the 300 guys that had decided to cram into the subway car. The second reason was that she was listening to Taylor Swift's "we are never ever getting back together". Now this might not be a big deal except for that she was a few feet away and I could hear the song as clearly as if she were screaming it in my ear. 

My first thought was that that she is being really inconsiderate by blasting her music so loud. My second thought was that I haven't heard this song in a while. My third thought, while humming along to the tune, was that it would have been cool to have this headphone jack splitter on hand so I could have plugged in with her and we could both enjoy the song together. 

And there you have it - I need this thing out of my life so that I don't admit out loud to myself or anyone else that I like catchy pop tunes...not to mention that being in possession of this device (that should be only used between consenting friends, of which I have none) also increases the risk of coming across like a complete weirdo by approaching random strangers with a request to listen to their music.

Hey! What are you listening to? (traded)

There's the story of how Isaac Newton conceptualized the idea of gravity after getting hit on the head by a falling apple as he lay snoozing in the shade of an apple tree one warm and sunny day in the distant past. 

A number of myths present themselves in this simple tale such as how humanity made it all the way to the 17th century before anyone even thought about why things that are up come down. This can be summed up in a different way - the myth that an Apple product had anything to do with an original thought. 

And in the spirit of the fruit company's habit of innovating on other people's ideas, up for grabs is what would otherwise appear to be an iPod Shuffle. 

The main difference between this and that overpriced widget besides not having to use iTunes, is that you can put in a micro SD card for gigs upon gigs of music clipped onto you as you cruise through your day.

Bic mechanical pencil, 0.5mm. 

It comes with a good built-in eraser and some extra lead inside. It was in my bag when I met the late, great Jack Layton so it has great cultural significance as an historic artifact.
