If were wondering if I was gone well the answer is yes.  That would also explain why I haven't updated anything in a little while.  I went on a road trip with my Dad.  That's right, just the two of us.  My dad has been wanting to do this ever since he got back from a trip out West with my brothers in 2003.  This time we went out East. Some of the places we saw ...More »

This weekend was pretty cool.  We got to play Amazing Race.  A co-worker invited us since they were looking for an extra team this year.  The guy who set it up spent months of thinking and weeks of planning to get this race organized.  He did an amazing job at it.  I mean we had to dig through sand piles, go into a loon shit infested lake and race all around town ...More »

I got an e-mail last week from the salesman at Subaru that I was dealing with a month ago when I was looking at the Subaru Impreza 2.5i.  For the month of July they are having a $4000 cash rebate on all 2008 Subaru Impreza models.  The monthly payment would have been a little more than the Civic but the car is all wheel drive.  Still, I have no regrets with the Civic.  I ...More »

I want the Blackberry Curve.  When I got my 8830 World Edition the Curve wasn't out with Telus yet.  I kind of regret buying my phone because now the Curve is $149 on a 3 yr contract vs. $299 on a 3 yr contract for my phone.  It's also smaller and it has a built in camera.  I didn't think I would miss the camera all that much but I do.  Especially the ability to ...More »

It's 2AM and I can't sleep.  I am in the same boat as I was last night.  Actually it was the same exact thing as last night.  I was super tired after supper and at around 8:30PM I passed out for 2 hours.  Now I can't fall asleep.  I was lucky enough to pull it off on Monday.  I passed out at around 8PM, woke up at 11:22PM and fell back asleep until morning.  Lately ...More »

Rogers announced this morning that it will offer a 6GB data package that you can add on to any of their existing voice plans for $30 per month.  I think this is Rogers way of accomodating power users as they do not have any unlimited data plans.  Myself, I am with Telus and was fortunate enough to get unlimited data for $15 per month. The only downside is I cannot connect to my Blackberry server ...More »

We picked it up last Friday.  It was pretty cool to buy our first car.  The official mileage after the pre-delivery and inspection was 11km.  Now it's at about 150km.  It rides nice, way better than my older 96 Civic.  The best part is the MP3 CD player.  I doubt I will ever need a satellite radio again.  Jenn has been making MP3 CD's like crazy.  The fact that you can fit about 200 songs ...More »

Today is June 17th, 2008.  Not only will the Celtics beat out the Lakers but Firefox 3 has been released.  What are you waiting for? Go download it.  Here are the release notes. More »

It's official!  We bought a new Civic.  After many test drives, comparisons, and research we decided to go with the Civic LX.  Why? Local Service I don't want to have to tow my car 4 hours away if something goes wrong with it.  We don't have a VW and Subaru dealer here.  I know that the service at the Honda dealer here is awesome.  On various occasions they have bent over backwards for me to get me ...More »

Ok, this is strange. Who abandons a plane?  Apparently in late 2007 a Boeing 727 landed at Hanoi airport and has been unclaimed ever since.  What's wrong with this picture?  Why are we only hearing about this now?  The worst part is the plane might have to be sent out for scrap if nobody claims it.  They think that the owners of the plane might have abandoned it since it possibly cost too much to ...More »
