There was a Mastercard commercial on right now about free gas for life…it has to be the absolute best commercial I’ve seen in recent memory. It was hittin’ the right spots with the music and imagery. I’m gonna find it for ya’ll…and more info as well.

And we’re off!!!! Another exciting 22 days of spectacular racing across France. This is the race that year after year I look forward to the most.
The last few years have been dominated by Lance Armstrong and have created umpteen American racing fans obsessed with their man in Yellow. No mistaking it, he is a man in Yellow with all the races he’s won. This year will be his last and it will be by far the most important.
As a sport evolves the competitors naturally get stronger and faster, training

I just finished watching Ping Pong again…you know that any movie that I’d watch rather than sleep (especially after I haven’t slept in a couple days) is worth it.
I’m tempted to throw some expletives in except that I don’t swear so I will have to improve my vocabulary while at the same time try not to sound like a prude.
Damn prudes.

IMDB link.
Just finished watching the movie, I am impressed (kudos to Kevin for pointing it out to me).
I expected a movie almost exclusively about Ping Pong. Just lots and lots of action shots and lots of game footage. I wanted to see people play, I wanted to learn. I wanted to show the guys at work this movie (we play a lot of Table Tennis at work). I really couldn’t have been further from the truth.
Ping Pong is about two friends in their teens learning about how much they’re truly capable of.

It had to happen. Tushar has run out of really good movies to watch in North America. It had to happen sooner or later.
So, I’ve branched out to really good Japanese films. On the way here is the Ping Pong soundtrack (fantabulous), Casshern, Waterboys (by the makers of Shall we Dansu and Swing Girls), and Appleseed.
The movies are rather expensive so I won’t be getting many, just the good ones…and only from time to time.
Ok, now to write up a complete review of Ping Pong.

WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
This is the first year in years and years that I’m not involved in the UW Canada Day celebration…this is also the first time in weeks that I well have a good sleep.
Sound good? Enjoy your day and night. We’ll see if I manage to get to watch fireworks tonight or stay in and code.

We’re past 500,000 hits…my hit counter is setup not to log individual page hits but unique visitors within a certain amount of time…the fair way.
What’s new? Let’s just say that I’m working on an overhaul. I want to put the programming back into web development and not have to deal with html at all. As such I’ve made a framework that just let’s me write pure code with a bunch of layout containers and it’ll output the info. Afterwards I’ll stylize it.
Beware as the newest version

A rabbit ran in front of the car today near Westmount. Now seriously…this is the location.
Was I sad…perhaps…but then…Darwin, now there’s more food for the other rabbits…food for the crows…yada yada…is it better or worse? I suspect that there’s no change.

The server needed to be rebooted a few moments ago…I’m going to figure out why that was happenning and also get some backup servers going.

Ugh…an absolute horrible two weeks coming up…nothing good next week other than ‘The Daily Show: Indecision’ (about the US Presidential Election) which I’m still contemplating getting. The big one that I’m really thinking about getting next week is “Gunner Palace” which is well rated and I’d like to see on the big screen (downstairs).
The week after (July 5th) absolutely nothing other than Roughnecksis out. I liked Starship Troopers so I’m considering Roughnecks but it’s unlikely

Well…it’s time to sleep…but I gotta sleep in a special way as my arm is bleeding (Ultimate) and my knee is bleeding (Ultimate) and my hand is bleeding (Ultimate) and my shoulder is bleeding (Ultimate)…but…things are good.
Things will be even better during the day…when things get done!
But now…sleep…for it is Friday…Bewitched Day!

I remember it like it was yesterday…the entire world was enamoured with a couple after the antics of one of the couple. There were news stories everywhere! Tabloids were having a field day…it was good all around.
So I ask you news media, where are Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes now? I haven’t heard so much as a peep about the couple (as a couple) in the last few days. Every single story last week was about them. Is there really nothing to talk about them any more?
It’s ok, I understand if you

Well…what can I say? This mouse is very sensitive…absolutely no skipping that is associated with other optical mouses that I have used. It has an awesome blue glow where even the scroll wheel lights up.
The mouse itself fits very comfortably in my hand and the two large buttons allow me to move my fingers around without worrying about them not being within contact range.
The scroll button (button 3) doesn’t depress much at all and there’s substantial force back that gives it a very sturdy feel.

Japan tends to get a lot of movies that we have here way after we do (standard practice) and we tend not to get any Japanese films (unfortunate).
So…here’s the Japanese Quicktime trailer page for you to browse…lots of fun stuff on there.
