Vancouverite; music-lover; small-time foodie; some kind of news/politics junkie; new wife!! You will often find me at a computer or peering into my iPhone.
The name of the blog comes from the song "Reckoner" by Radiohead. I've seen them in concert nine times in five countries, which is really negligible by the standards of some of my friends.

Yeah, I’m still alive.
Renos done, twice the time, twice the price, wahey. Feel like I’m juggling many many things, but I’m not really. I do have lots of ideas and I’m kinda throwing a bunch of stuff out there to see what sticks. … Continue reading

Telecommunication
So my modem crapped out on me. I went on Tuesday to buy a new one (before the Radiohead presale), and found out that London Drugs doesn’t sell ADSL modems at all anymore. WHAT?! They have some wireless package for … Continue reading
OH NOES
I believe my food geek site has been hacked. How fucking lame is that. What’s even lamer, is that I can’t submit a help desk ticket at my SUPER AWESOME WEBHOST SITEGROUND.COM. Because it’s looping me around for no apparent … Continue reading

William Gibson has blogged about Die Ärzte, the band my college bf Rodrigo is now in…and whom I’m seeing in Berlin this summer when he plays the same venue as Radiohead a few days later. Another Gibson boardie from Berlin … Continue reading
