As in the past, BestBuy Canada and FutureShop are starting their Boxing Day sales tonight at 8 p.m. EST.
Last year there was a serious flaw. Their websites, and I’m presuming their servers, were overloaded, slow, and crashed. It was an epic failure then, and I bet there are a lot of people who are hesitant [...]

The amount of spam that I’ve started to receive is just incredible. I get about 600 a day!
So, in an effort to block the spam, I’ve setup a few spambot’s to bounce-back spam to the sender. If anyone gets a bounce-back, please give me a call and let me know so I can put [...]

After waiting for so long, and following up with Wyeth, I finally received my free Chapsticks – cudos to them for stepping up to the plate.

Ever since I can remember I’ve had problems with the mechanism within Chapsticks. It’s not something that I’m doing, and it’s not something that has affected each one I’ve bought. I’d rather suggest that maybe it’s one of every 4 that I buy.
What the problem? At some point the mechanism just stops working. When [...]

Well, we had our first major snow storm since moving into the house. The forecasters were calling for about 8-10cm on Friday, 15-20cm on Saturday, and another 5-10cm on Sunday.
It snowed Friday night, I shoveled on Saturday. It snowed nearly all day Saturday, and then Rosalee and I shoveled for about an hour on Sunday. [...]

Ok – not sure why Microsoft decided not to make this an option in their software. Actually, it’s something that’s annoyed me for about 2 years now. There’s no option (per e-mail basis) that allows someone using it to set a read receipt for an e-mail. It’s pretty basic functionality that’s been available on various [...]

Due to the amount of spam on the blog, I’ve had to take some measures to prevent it (damn you… you bastards!).
The one measure that will affect you directly, is that now you have to setup an account (it’s easy and best of all, it’s FREE) to post messages or replys.
Sorry… but over 300 spam [...]

Well, it’s quite upsetting that they didn’t make it to the playoffs. The last 10 games of the season showed what the team was capable of, it’s just a shame that it was too little too late!

I’ve been saying for 2 months now that if the Leafs don’t make it to the playoffs this [...]
