John Travolta Makes Me Want To Barf

Entertainment Tonight, or some such “news” program just aired a clip of an interview with Vinnie Barbarino aka Johnny Travolta and it made me uncomfortable. As with any actor I have a hard time believing anything that comes out of most of their mouths, but this is off the charts. Here’s the transcript: Did you [...]

I’m Going To Ride The 2008 Tour De France..

… at least parts of various stages as part of our summer vacation!!! We just booked the tour and I’m already counting the days until July 17. Our tour allows me to ride a number of famous climbs including the Col du Restefond (Europes highest Col), Izoard, Vars, Lauteret, Galibier, and Alpe d’Huez!!! I’ve started my training as [...]

Juno

We just got back from seeing this film and it was great. Just last week we saw a commercial for it, and in my half-asleep state on the couch something about it jumped out at me and made me want to see it. (This was the first and only commercial I saw for it…) It’s [...]

I Need A Company Name

I’m starting a new company as part of my succession of my current business partner in the ownership of our company. The new company will be a holdings and investment company. (TwinPro will carry on as TwinPro doing the daily business of print management.) This means I get to create a new company name! Here are some [...]

You Don’t Mess with the Zohan Trailer

What’s with Adam Sandler making these flicks?

Would you give awards honouring the people you’re striking against?

The writing that you did before you went on strike.I understand the requests that the writers are making in their strike, but I disagree with striking [...]

It’s Like Christmas. For 40 weeks straight!

For the last few years around Christmas, enterprising Mac software developers have created promotions to move huge quantities of their products while creating a significant buzz about said products. This year a new offering from 20MacApps caught my eye, and my credit card! They are offering 20 apps as a bundle going for $40, a 90% [...]

A New Desk Is On Its Way

After many, many months of searching we finally bought a new desk. We bought it from Naked Furniture - a store that I drive past most days of the week as it is just around the corner from my office. Nina (pronounced nine-a) was wonderfully helpful and more than willing to joke back with me. It felt [...]

Bell Canada Confuses Me. (Again.)

In the envelope with this months phone bill was an insert with the headline “Basic Long Distance rates are changing.” Wow. Nice and straightforward from Bell? Something doesn’t seem right so I continued to read… Bell are, contrary to other providers, increasing their rates. (At least compared to our current bill, we will pay more [...]
