2 days ago, FutureShop had a nice one-day sale that was only available online. Since there is a store just around the corner from my place, I would normally head into the store, but this sale was online. Not a big deal, I buy online from hundreds of places all the time. Surely FutureShop has [...]

The Canadian Gold Medal Hockey Song
You know we love our hockey, eh! After the Gold medal performance at the Vancouver 2010 Olympics, there’s an new song going around. Based off Stompin’ Tom Connors classic “Hockey Song”, but the words are updated to reflect the performance of the Canadian Men’s hockey team. It’s a great twist on the old classic and [...]
The Puck Goes Through the Net…
I spent a number of days travelling during the 2010 Vancouver Olympics, and on more than one occasion, I commandeered the TV in the lobby of the hotel to show the hockey game. (For those that know me, I have a history of commandeering buses in order to get where I need to go. So [...]
Olympic Kick off at the Temporale House
I’ve been looking forward to this since the end of the Beijing Olympics a couple years ago. Finally it is upon us – Today’s the big day! I’ve been a big fan of the Olympics for a while now, and I got the kids hooked too. My daughter started about 4 years ago, but it [...]
Las Vegas – Always Something To Do
Once again, I was in Las Vegas last week. I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve been to Vegas, but what amazes me is that there is always something new and interesting to see and do. This visit was for CES – the Consumer Electronics Expo. Once that was over, my wife flew [...]

The Count from Sesame Street Gets Censored
I was reminded of this video the other day and thought I would link it here for everyone to enjoy. If you’ve got kids, there’s a bunch of kid shows that are censored on YouTube – some good, some not so. All are funny and will keep you thinking when you next see that show [...]
Another Wonderful Cottage Vacation
We just got back from another wonderful cottage vacation. The kids always have so much fun at the lake and it’s a great time for us to relax and enjoy life a little. There was a little concern that the weather would continue it’s rainy and gloomy path of the last couple weeks. Thankfully the [...]
Lego Indy 2 Coming to Xbox
I’ve been a big fan of the Lego series of games – Lego Star Wars, Lego, Indiana Jones, and Lego Batman. My family has enjoyed playing each and everyone. When Lego Guitar Hero was announced, I was excited but also a little worried. I like Guitar Hero as well, but I don’t think a Lego [...]
