Who are you and why are you in my gmail?
Apr 21st
Any Gmail users out there notice this ugly mug popping up in the GTalk chat bar? Who is this fool?
I think Gmail and Google could have advertised GTalk Video a little smarter by not putting this fool with his creepy grin on everyone’s webmail. I have to admit, before I figured out what was going on, I thought this was just some dude creeping on my email looking at me as I replied to some old messages….
Message to Google:
FIND A MORE ATTRACTIVE GTALK VIDEO MODEL OR FIND A NEW WAY TO GET PEOPLE TO USE IT!!!!
Rant over – phew. More >
POKER IS NOT A SPORT!!!!!!

Ruining Sports Networks
I’m sure I’m not the only person in the world who believes this, but I think I became a big endorsement of the title statement this weekend. This is playoff time in North America. Not only are our beloved Canucks playing their way through the toughest grind of the NHL season, but the NBA playoffs tipped off this weekend and Junior Hockey is in the midst of the Memorial Cup Championships. So knowing all of this, knowing how many teams are going to be eliminated and how many champions crowned,

Getting Lost Again

Prime time dramatic Sci-Fi television usually likes to follow a pattern. After initially setting up the beginnings of the mythology and supporting it through a few episodes, the characters begin to take form and later episodes are created to enforce their traits, characteristics and their general reasoning for being in the show. My first exposure to this was probably in the first season of X-Files where the alien conspiracy was the overall arc of the first season, but every once in a while you’d get an episode devoted to Skully and her religious views.
Well, not a lot has changed other than possibly More >
The Basterd Business is a Boomin’
Apr 16th
Since I don’t watch American Idol I had no idea this was premiered on TV this week, but after watching it via this website called Youtube (sarcasm intended) I’m once again in dreamland over Quentin Tarantino’s next project. I’ve been all over Inglourious Basterds since the first announcement of a completed script. I even went as far as reading what is probably a fake. I’ve seen trailers, oogled over some of the photography released from the flick so far and wondered how QT was going to incorporate someone like Mike Myers into his story….
Here’s the answer.
Here’s the full trailer: “I want my scalps!”

Tony Noooooooo!
Apr 15th
I had to wait a couple of days to find some time to finally catch up on 24, but I think I’m finally at the same point as most people following the real-time action packed FOX show. I think this is like season 8 or something, but I stopped counting a few years ago. I had actually stopped watching the show altogether for a few seasons because my favorite character Tony Almieda actually wasn’t in them… Until this year.
I hope this doesn’t spoil it for anyone reading this (sorry to all 4 of you), but Tony, who was bad at the More >
Black Berry + Water = BSOD!!!!
Apr 14th
So I’ve had my Crackberry for a little over 3 years now and I have to admit, until yesterday, no complaints. I come from a time where cell phones were made like bricks and before I got the Pearl I had a Samsung flip-phone for like 5 years, so I really shouldn’t complain because the cell phone gods have treated me very well. Anyways, I just thought I’d let everyone know that the mad scientist in me came out to play yesterday and produced something very interesting.

Ok, so every once in a while the testosterone in the bod overtakes everything else and I become a die-hard sports fan. It happens in March for the NCAA Basketball Tournament and now I’m focused on the Vancouver Canucks and a hopeful run to the Stanley Cup. I can’t express how much I’ve missed the feeling of the old 94 cup run!
So here’s my breakdown of the Canucks versus their first round opponent St Louis Blues. First off, I’m really excited to be chanting demoralizing things at the Blues’ players such as Brad “Likes” Boyes and TJ “BJ” Oshie. It More >
