Yes, we upgraded the site to WordPress version 3, which of course deleted the old “default theme” we were using because I was too lazy, err busy trying to fix everything Pete has been destroying. Hence the new theme which frankly sucks. Someone propose a new, more appropriate theme please. And did I mention that the stupid default “visual” editor in WP3 is broken? Grrrrr.

Hello World!
I’ve been following this site for some time, both as a participant and also (strangely enough) as the subject. Seems like very little has happened that can be blamed on me. Has the world gotten more mature and moved beyond the need to have a token scapegoat? Could it be that the world has changed in the last ten years and moved forward? Can we hope in a time when hope is far away?
So from this day forward, let us not merely be satisfied with uttering, “I blame you, Pete” for the things going on in our lives, and not be ready to expound on why that blame should be levelled in a pariticular direction.
Anton, this does mean you…
I would also like to point out that a lot of people have been rather timid towards this site, and on the few occasions where they did actually see me, would mention the site, but not actually feel up to posting on the site.
Bryn, this does mean you…
So, here is my challenge to all of you — be you friends of mine, friends of the site, or merely innocent bystanders on the web — from this day forward: Any of you blaming me in person, in email, on billboards, television commercials, or podcasts, rather than on the site will pay for the privilege with a coffee, beer, or some other payment of my choosing.
Have a great, low-blame day.

Too slow Pete!
Just a FYI, we updated wordpress to the latest version to prevent Pete and his goons from exploiting some vulnerabilities. Ha ha! Too slow Pete!
Nothing Happened
It appears that the rumours of my being evil incarnate are just that. Nothing really bad has happened lately, so I think we can safely conclude that all is well in Pete-land…

Thanks for the rain Pete
We’re going on a 10 day white water/camping trip on the Tatshenshini River (cue the violins). But thanks to Pete working with the over-zealous Chinese who are bent on world weather domination for the Olympics and then some, ordered up some rain for our trip. Thanks Pete.
P.S. Hey Pete, when are you coming out to California for a camping trip?
Pete – A year older?!?!
Well, it appears that a week-to-the-day ago Mr. Pete was responsible for adding another year to his life (i.e. he has managed to avoid falling pianos [a la A Fish Called Wanda] and other similar nasty happenings), which just means that there is now a whole new year of possible It’s-All-Pete’s-Fault-induced events! The world – and more specifically the Toronto area – had best beware!! D.

Hello World!
Given the recent dearth of posts on this site, I think I’ll take it upon myself to start writing on this site again. Apparently, there hasn’t been enough things happening lately to compel folks to blame me for things, so I might as well give folks something to write about.

Sinister Pete threatens posters, keeps slate clean
It’s been awfully quiet here lately.
And we know whom to blame for that. Right?
“The only blame I accept is that which goes up on the web site,” Pete confirmed. “And at least check,” he added mysteriously, “that was precious little. >:)”

Pete… married?
Well usually we don’t take time to congratulate Pete, but on April 2, 2006, Pete married Yuki somewhere in Canada. We’re not sure why the Canadian government gave Pete a marrige license, (no doubt significant bribes were incurred) but congratulations to Pete and Yuki!
On behalf of all of us at IAPF.org, we wish Pete and Yuki the very best for a long and enjoyable life together.
