  • Setting up the business bank account

    …was surprisingly painless. After taking a quick look around to find the best account, I settled on the $6 RBC small business account. It’s basically pay-as-you-go, but it was the cheapest one out there. All the rest of the banks wanted to charge you way more every month, plus additional fees for every single transaction […]

  • This Calls for a *Headdesk*

    Yup. It sure does. Shit that isn’t working for me right now: Stupid Visa application – I have to send in tax documents of all things just to get a damn card. What a fracking pain, those are with my parents. They better give me a damn card after this. Unending uploading – I installed […]

  • The Quest for the Perfect Website

    Ugh, this is the 3rd time I’m uploading some huge package to my new site. I’m trying to find a decent shopping cart solution so I can actually sell stuff off the site. So far I’ve looked at Volusion Yeah, I think it was a little bit confusing for me. I gave up one day […]

  • Starting My Business

    After another prolonged absence from the intertubes I’ve come back yet again, with developments this time! Most of you regulars out there know that I have been planning to start an online business for some time now (historical posts here and here). Originally I had applied for the Ontario Self Employment Benefit program via the […]

  • How do you deal with jealousy?

    Dear Interwebs, What do you do if you are jealous of your best friend? More and more I am experiencing this feeling, and I’m afraid it’s going to get out of control. Can you help please?

  • Yup, I’m at it again + cat photos

      Well, I’m still pretty bored with things these days. So I found another random item to paint. Above is my lost, forlorn chair. It came with the apartment when I moved in 4 years ago and was ugly in it’s unfinished state. A chair with good bones, though. I reupholstered it Red Green style […]

  • Talk to my agent…

    So there’s been a bit of interesting stuff going on in the Gingersphere lately. I was interviewed by the New York Times for …something (not allowed to say yet). They may or may not publish it, but it would be cool if they did! The NYT! Cool! I also might be on a Food Network […]

  • Crafting Borne of Boredom

    Today I got a lot of little crafty things accomplished. But there was definitely one project that stood out from all the rest. Ash trays for my deck. Some of my friends like to smoke and need somewhere to put their cigarette butts. I have a sad, twisted sense of humor as you can see. […]

  • The Big Idea

    I haven’t been around much lately, but for good reason this time. I have been spending my funemployment time working on a business idea that I hope to launch in the next couple of months. After much soul-searching, I decided to take a break from the corporate world and do something that I really wanted […]
