Are you kidding me?  It's 9 minutes into the second period and Canada is up 4-0.  I think we should convert all the ice here to big ice.

Ooooh…11:25 into the 2nd and it's 4-1 Canada.

Ergh!  19:24 into the second and it's 4-2 Canada.

20 minutes to go…come on Canada…you need at least one more to tie this thing up on BIG ICE!

Here we go!  Vingt minutes.

Six minutes to go!  I typed out six in French and then realized that it's the same in English.

Hang in there…come on…two minutes…

It's on!  Canada vs Russia in the Finals today at 1230 on TSN.  Read up on it.  This game is far too close to call and I hope it's an exciting game.  These kids need the experience and this whole tournament on big ice has been awesome to watch.

Semi-final against the USA yesterday has left me a little shaken as it went to a shootout and fortunately we made it through.

Sorry, this should've been posted back on January 1st 2007. 

You know a party is good when you leave and it's still going on and you still want to stay there. Just got back from Dan and Joanne's New Year Party and it's quite a ruckus. They're still singing and dancing over there right now. Lots of Wii. Lots of good conversation (as usual) and I met a top programmer from Next Level Games who worked on Super Mario Strikerswho was very forth coming with advice on the game industry and in general what

So Saddam Hussein is gone and the world is supposedly a safer place but did anybody stop and think about Roman Danylo?

Roman, as you may not know, is a comedian who has several trademark characters that he (poorly but comedically, well, his Tom Cruise is pretty good) portrays in his comedy routines on Comedy Inc.. One of his characters is (or should I say 'was'?) Saddam Hussein and a gang of Saddam impersonators. Saddam and his impersonators have a variety of professions including talk show hosts

While there were a lot of movies out this year (and I manged to watch quite a few) and the tough task of ranking them comes down to me (as elected by planet Earth through a vote conducted just seconds ago). In this post I’ll be ranking most major movies that were released in theatres. Not all movies released may make this listing, please let me know if I miss something big. Remember, these are in order of what I like and enjoyed the most.

#4…mmmhmmm…that's right…

Will fill you in during the day. Needless to say but gaming with Kevin and Omar is a lot of fun. (We missed you Edd!)

Been hearing a lot about how you guys don’t know how to walk on ice. Listen up, you don’t walk on ice you slide on it. You can’t expect the world to change or conform to you just because you want to walk or run in a particular way. You need to take shorter steps, slow down a bit, bend your knees a bit and slide. My advice is to take your kids to an ice rink and just have them run around a bit so they’ll adjust for the future.

Although with global warming it’s likely they’ll never have

Not one of the major news stories but one that’s substantially important was the Internet blackout that hit most of China and HK. Read up if you’re interested, no time to chat about it at this time.

Wow, Actionscript 3.0 (Flex 2.0) is substantially different from Actionscript 2.0. I like AS 3 as it’s more structured and ordered like the languages I usually deal with. Of course all this structure means porting over several thousand lines of old code ends up creating a delicious weekend of rewriting hundreds of lines of code in order to take advantage of new features.

Well, hopefully this project will see the light of day as it’s a good one. Actually, this project is already live on one site

That henceforth Cary shall be known as Pnky.

2 – 0!!! (vs Sweden)

Full Story here but it was an excellent tense game. Carey Price (the goalie) was a solid rock in this game and quite impressive, keep an eye out for him.

…and I’ll say it again: “Hiring Mercenaries is always a good idea.”

Chad (of Warp Pipe) has been working ona quick little tidbit for ya’ll. Enjoy/Digg It.

• Mountain Patrol (original name: Kekexili) – Amazing movie, it went right onto my favourites list.

Ben always has some solid choices and this one is particularly good.

So Kenny finally managed to pull some strings and called in some favours but he was voted. #1 Most Fascinating TV Personality of 2006 (by Yahoo/Rogers).

Congrats Kenny and remember those of us that stuffed ballot boxen (among other things) for you.

Another night well spent out on the town. I was driving back from KYs place at 0530 when I noticed that all the farm houses along the way had their lights on. It dawned on me that there are people who wake up day in and day out at five in the morning for every single day of the year.

It’s staggering how consistent their lives must be and yet it’s completely purposeful and far more well directed (and perhaps more fulfilling and productive) than mine may ever be.

That’s when I remembered, I’ve

Akshay pointed me to this a few days back. I started listening to it but it took me three hours to get through it due to sheer frustration. Damn you Akshay!

What does it say about the future of North America when managers can’t do basic math? I can understand if you run into trouble with units when doing complex chemical calculations or even in physics but dollars to cents? Seriously. Seriously. Seriously?
