Physical copies of “2600: The Hacker Quarterly” are hard to come by. But, if you’re ever in Ottawa you can pick up a copy at “Globe Mags & Cigars” located at 57 William St.

I've been adding to my collection recently.

If you're Canadian and want a peek into the digital underground, the only in person meetings are in Calgary.

When you stop by the Le Kube resto-bar within the Hotel Bonaventure in Montreal, say hi to your robotic server.

Also, it looked it had a rough night, it took the ramp down to the bar pretty slow.

The robotic server is actually Pudu HolaBot that's available here: https://www.pudurobotics.com/product/detail/holabot

If you're ever in Ottawa, be sure to check out "AXIA Station" at 147 Rideau Street.

This is a one stop shop that has everything from beauty supplies to hard to aquire snacks. It has a great vibe with claw style arcade machines too!

Banks use your deposits to loan money to fossil-fuel, emissions-heavy firms

Your $1,000 in the bank creates emissions equal to a flight from NYC to Seattle.

As the holidays are right around the corner, I'll be posting my wishlist of items that caught my eye yet this year.

Why not drink like Deckard and treat yourself to some authentic Arnolfo di Cambio glasses?

Great while enjoying Vangelis, as long as you can splurge around €110 right?

Cyberjack (also known as Virtual Assassin) stars Michael Dudikoff and Brion James. It's more of an obscure cyberpunk movie and could be (generously) described as a guilty pleasure from the 90's.

Interestingly, there is a shot where a computer monitor displays "Skynet" clearly. I doubt this movie shares any kind of universe with the Terminator.

If you're ever in Ottawa, be sure to check out "A State of Rest" bronze figures by Brandon Vickerd along Strandherd Drive.

A sleepy fox, doe, squirrel, and raccoon can be found taking naps on benches. You'll have to look extra hard for the raccoon, that prankster seems to have slipped away from the pack.

Visit Brandon Vickerd's website with further details here: http://brandonvickerd.com/index#/a-state-of-rest

The best part of #CapitalPride in #Ottawa could very very well be the #poutine for me. Before and after shot included.

Well, the music is pretty great too.

I've finally sampled the ramen & Asahi at "Neo Tokyo" in Montréal. The Blade Runner & CyberPunk vibes were (predictably) awesome.

Total Recall turns 33 years old today. It premiered back in 1990.

Based off "We Can Remember It for You Wholesale" penned by Philip K. Dick, it earned $260+ million dollars.

It did get a 2012 remake, but I think it's safe to say the original is better received.

So, in honour of Total Recall, please enjoy the single most over-the-top bar fight ever put to film. Courtesy of Paul Verhoeven.
