Goodies from Thinkgeek

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 [...]

Hostile drivers and pushing my buttons

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 [...]

PDF file of the payola emails

Following up on yesterdays long rant, I present the PDF file with the emails from the promoter. Worth a read if you have the time (it’s 59 scanned pages).

Happy Birthday, Grandma

Hope you have a very happy birthday!

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

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 [...]

Birth of the Piracy Czar

From the same concerns that brought us the war on drugs, we now present The War on Piracy. Hopefully he’ll be as highly effective as the former Energy Czar, the honorable Spencer Abraham.
