Hostile drivers and pushing my buttons

Posted by craig Published in A day in the life

Today was a day of traffic and really hostile drivers. I’m not exactly sure why everyone was on edge, but it would be nice if you all would just stop it, m’kay? One particular gentleman really hackled my nerves this morning as I drove out of the Tim Hortons. He was barelling through the connected [...]

Goodies from Thinkgeek

Posted by craig Published in A day in the life

This is either one of the coolest games I’ve seen, or one of the strangest games I’ve seen. Heck, let’s bestow both honors on it for now until we know better. It’s called Polarity, and it uses magnetism as part of the gameplay. The idea is to create stacks of pieces (ergo getting points), but [...]

OK, just stop this nonsense

Posted by craig Published in A day in the life

Losing my taste for RIAA Music

Posted by craig Published in A day in the life

I think I’m hitting my saturation point with all of the bullcrap that is flowing out of the record labels nowadays. It’s not so much the quality of the music, as it is the way the record labels are treating their supposed customers. Earlier this week, Ed Foster griped about Sony’s DRM on their CDs, [...]

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

Posted by craig Published in A day in the life

If there was ever a case for promoters to not create trailers for a movie because they might negatively impact the movie, this is the movie. From the trailers, JoDee and I were leary of plunkng our money down to see this movie. The trailers made Johnny Depp out to be some kind of wooden [...]

Life imitates art

Posted by craig Published in A day in the life

I’m just speechless as I witness either brilliance or stupidity at work: Canada’s new mascott is a 7 foot turd, designed to remind people about the mounting sewage problems in Victoria. Mr. Hanky was not available for comment.
