We Now Return You To Your Regularly Scheduled Programming…
Sep 1st
Morning Kids!
Yes, I’ve been extremely MIA in the last week or two but for good reason. I went home for a few days for some R&R and some thinking and I’ve returned to Toronto refreshed and ready to go! Go with what you ask? Well, I’m not really sure at this point because I basically only wrote that to get myself pumped up about going back to work – which is always a drag coming off vacation. In any case, it’s good to be back and to everyone out there who was wondering when I was going to post again More >
I’m Alive, Just Saying…
Aug 26th
Hey Kids,
Just thought I’d drop a little message letting you all know that I’m alive, but I’m on vacation.
Sorry if you’ve been eagerly awaiting penguin news – I’ll be back to the norm in about a week. In the mean time, check this out!
Looks amazing so far Mr. Boyle! 127 Hours with James Franco and his arm. Can’t wait.
Friday The 13th Duh duh duuuuuuh
Aug 13th
From Wikipedia
The fear of Friday the 13th is called friggatriskaidekaphobia, frigga meaning “Friday” and triskaidekaphobia (or paraskevidekatriaphobia) being a word derived from the concatenation of the Greek words Paraskeví (Παρασκευή, meaning “Friday”), and dekatreís (δεκατρείς, meaning “thirteen”) attached to phobía (φοβία, from phóbos, φόβος, meaning “fear”). The word was derived in 1911 and first appeared in a mainstream source in 1953.
There are conflicting studies about the risk of accidents on Friday the 13th. The Dutch Centre for Insurance Statistics (CVS) on June 12, 2008, stated that “fewer accidents and reports of fire and theft occur when the 13th of the More >
The Adidas Mega Diner Is Always Open
Aug 6th
Morning all,
Thought I’d share this nice little site from Adidas this morning in case anyone is hungry for something… MEGA. That’s right, Adidas looks as though they are venturing into the food service industry (not literally of course). After a successful campaign through their Star Wars line it seems like the creative peeps over at the shoe comapny have ripped off the gloves and rolled up the sleeves.
The Adidas Mega Diner is a unique way to get online users engaged in some of the new products coming from the three-striped sneaker company. The concept is based on diner food and takes into consideration More >

Jul 27th
Gotta thank Ma-Ting for this as he’s the one that sent me the original clip, but this game looks spectacular. As many of you already know, Scott Pilgrim Versus The World will be hitting theatres soon. but what you might not have known is that the game will be hitting the Playstation Network August 10th. But why should we all be excited for this? Check the trailer below and I’ll end this paragraph simply with… Nuff Said.
Hats off to Ubisoft for knowing their demographic. Not only have they tapped into the hardcore fans of the comic and the original artistic style, but More >
LCD Tripping Double Rainbow
Jul 6th
Gotta give props to FDAT for this one as she was the person who turned me onto this today. On a completely unrelated note… Night Blogging… weird. Anyways, FDAT says she was awoken this morning to the radio playing a clip of this YouTube video of some dude going absolutely bananas over seeing a double rainbow. It’s funny to me for a few reasons. First, just listening to anyone going this far off the sanity radar is hilarious in it’s own right. Second, half the fun is just listening to this guy go further and further emotionally. This is some of More >
Hello iOS 4
Jun 23rd
I know that it’s like the cool thing to do to rip on Apple for all that they do, but I really do have to tip my proverbial hat to them today for releasing iOS4. If you’re unaware of the free update and you own an iPhone, iPad or even iPod Touch, you should really go an download it now… Seriously, like now
LIKE RIGHT NOW!!!! AAAGGGHHHHH
Phew… Sorry about that.
iOS4 for the iPhone 3GS is actually quite an improvement and to be completely honest, I don’t really care how they came to these decisions or who came up with the ideas first. The fact More >
The Quality Of Nerd-Hottie Is Diving….
Jun 17th
Morning all,
Has anyone out there been following E3? Of course you have. Of course you’re up to speed on Assassin’s Creed and you’re filled with glee over another Final Fantasy…. (wow – I seriously can’t believe I just did that). Okay anyways, one of the more interesting things about conferences like E3, Comic-Con, Wonder-Con, Import Car Shows and anything that involves a panel with a guy who still lives in his mom’s basement is how new products and companies garner attention to themselves. Some companies pass out pens and business cards, others offer free samples, but in the case of More >
