Law Abiding Citizen? Ha! Hardly…

February 24, 2010

Sat down to watch Law Abiding Citizen.  If you haven’t seen this yet, let me offer some caution… If you’re at all squeamish about onscreen violence, think long and hard whether this is a movie that you’re really interested in watching. I don’t require a movie to be violent for me to enjoy it, but [...]

Bring on the Russians

February 24, 2010

Well… it may not be the most ideal path to Olympic Gold, but the men’s hockey team managed to get past Germany last night, setting up a collision course with Russia.  Our track record against the Russians isn’t exactly great.  I believe TSN said that we’ve never beaten them in the Olympics.  That means that [...]

Hallelujah

February 23, 2010

I’ve never been a k.d. Lang fan.  I don’t really know what it is about her, but she’s just never done it for me.  So when I sat there during the Olympic opening ceremonies, and watched Canadian music artists perform, I was more than a little skeptical when I saw k.d. take the stage. I [...]

Annoying CNN Embedded Video

February 21, 2010

Yes, I’ve heard more than one person complain about how the greyhound video starts automatically as soon as you hit the home page…  It’s pretty annoying, isn’t it?  I’m not sure if there’s a way to stop that, other than clicking “pause” as soon as it starts.  It would have been nice had it been [...]

Sirius Stock Price Tops $1

February 20, 2010

Hmm… remember when I said ages ago that I dumped my Sirius stock (SIRI) and was happy just to break even with it?  Well, I glanced at my faux-portfolio and noticed that it’s now trading above $1.  Yup, I could have easily doubled my investment had I just stuck it out and not wanted to get rid of [...]

Looking to Watch a Music Video Online? Welcome to Vevo!

February 19, 2010

You may have noticed lately that finding a music video on YouTube is becoming increasingly more difficult.  The music labels have always been a little fickle (now there’s an understatement) about their artists’ works being uploaded on YouTube, but now it appears that 3 of the 4 major labels have banded together to create their own [...]
