The Palm
So tonight was good, shared a six-pound lobster with my girlfriend at The Palm. An early birthday dinner from my parents. Fewer dinners are better then huge lobsters cooked well and this one was pretty damn good.
Not sure about the rest of the night, it’s still fairly early, we didn’t go out until a little after midnight last night and I’m still waiting for a few people to call, but I think tonight may be a movie night anyway… nothing exciting, but hey, the lobster was good.

And so it starts
This is something I’ve been meaning to do for a while. In fact, it’s something I semi-started a while back and put on hold, deleted and then restarted it again.
So why blog? Right now it’s to simply share a voice. Pretty much the same reason anyone else does.
I think we all want to set topics when we first start. Most just want to throw out an opinion or link to cool things they find and I’m not far off from that.
Subjects should be technology, sports (heavy on the hockey I’m sure), movies, television, video games for when I find the time, along with anything else that crosses my path that I deem worthy. I’ll also throw in a run-on sentence or two.
A design will be coming here eventually, but until then I’m just going to have a very simple design. Easy on the eyes and easy on the loading time - for now.
One of my main issues was which domain to use. vodkafish.com? VodkaFish has been a name I’ve been using online for almost 10 years. It’s not exactly the most professional thing in the world, but it’s not like it’s on my business cards. So what to do? Use it? Use another generic name? I’d love to get a variation of my real name, but all those domains have been taken for quite some time. I asked a few people and they all said “vodkafish.com” - of course, they already know me as VodkaFish and what I’m about is already also known to them. But in the end this is the logical choice. A name I use on a slew of sites, it’s here to use and hell, it somehow already has a Google PR of 2 to build upon.
And so it begins… I step into the blogsphere or whatever catchphrase they’re using today…
