Yellow Ledbetter Friends News

Following the finale of Friends, I wrote this entry bashing yet another unfunny episode of the most overrated show in history.  I mentioned there was a minute of the show I did like and that was when I heard the familiar opening chords to Pearl Jam's "Yellow Ledbetter".  I was

Pool Update: Day Thirty Five

I can get behind this Calgary team.  If you exclude my Toronto Maple Leafs, I'm a fan of Canadian-based teams.  Having said that, I can't root for the Ottawa Senators because I can't stand them.  Rooting for the Montreal Canadiens is difficult too because they are our historical rivals.  That

System of a Down

In September of 2001, System of a Down released Toxicity.  In a month that will be forever remembered for the 9/11 attacks, one of my favourite rock albums of all time was launched into orbit.  Every tune on Toxicity rocks very, very hard.  It's emotionally charged political music with

Leading By Example

Read this Statement by the President of the United States of America from last June.  It was written for the United Nations International Day in Support of Victims of Torture.  Here's an excerpt. Torture anywhere is an affront to human dignity everywhere. We are committed to building a world where

High Fives

Whenever James does something he's proud of or even something remotely cool, we exchange high fives.  Yesterday, he was trying to close a rather tricky cannister and when he finally succeeded, he ran over and we exchanged a series of exhilerating high fives.  It makes him happy, it makes me

Gold Again!

Jay Bouwmeester broke a 3-3 tie 20 seconds into the third period Sunday as Team Canada rallied from a pair of two-goal deficits to beat Sweden 5-3 and capture its second straight gold medal at the world hockey championship. This was a very entertaining game I thought.  There were lots

Happy Mother's Day Mom.  I hope your Sunday is relaxing.  You know how much we love you. Happy Mother's Day to James' Mommy too.  You're a good Mother Taryn and you deserve a relaxing Sunday too.  Unfortunately, we've got work to do.  No rest for the wicked.

Pool Update: Day Thirty Two

A well rested Tampa Bay team took game one of the Eastern Conference finals yesterday afternoon.  Only two participants in our 2004 playoff pool actually secured points from the victory.  Alexi extended his lead and Neil moved into a comfortable seventh place. For the current standings go here.

Pop-Up Blocking

There was a time when surfing the web meant being harassed by annoying pop-up ads.  I haven't been bothered by pop-up ads in quite a while because I use a pop-up blocker.  If you're not using one, you're crazy man! I've used a few in my time, but my favourite

Going For Gold

Shawn Horcoff of the Edmonton Oilers scored a controversial goal 6:10 into the third period and defending champion Canada edged Slovakia 2-1 in a semifinal of the men's world hockey championship earlier today.  It looks like we'll be facing Sweden who are currently leading the United States 3-1 in
