I just want to wish my sister Kimmi a very Happy 18th Birthday! Still another year before you become legal, so I will hold on to my legal-bday advice until then 🙂

Also Happy 25th Anniversary to my parents (yesterday)!

I am pleased to announce that Dickson and I now have Blogosphere.ca up and running! We want you to blog! If you are interested, here is how to get started.

Anyone remember the email Dickson and I sent out last week looking for names for a potential blogging site? No? Well you should read your email more frequently!

Anyways, we have decided on a name. We are going to be bringing you http://www.blogosphere.ca very soon! If you would like a blog at this new site, just email me or Dickson and we can hook you up. Don’t be left out, join the blogosphere!

For anyone who cares…we will be using .Text as the blogging engine, so the most common blog features are supported, like RSS feeds, permalinks, comments, trackbacks, etc. Couple of examples, my blog, Dickson’s blog, and .NET Wizards Blogs are all running on .Text. Blogosphere.ca will be quite similar to the .NET Wizards Blogs.

It seems that another person has come out from hiding with their blog. Check out Megan’s blog at http://mig14.blogspot.com. I think its great people are blogging…but where are the feeds?! I really get annoyed with blogs that don’t have RSS or Atom feeds…thats like having a book without the binding – you can read it, but its a lot more troublesome!

Have you ever wondered, “how evil is my website?” No? Well you should! Here is an interesting little tool that will tell you just how evil (or good) a particular website or piece of text is. Meet, The Gematriculator.

A couple of quick tests show that Google is 46% evil, Microsoft is 50% evil, Apple is 23% evil, Disney is 23% evil, and who would have guessed, Whitehouse.com is only 22% evil! Also interesting to note, the entry page for our government’s site (http://www.canada.gc.ca) is NINETY-SEVEN PERCENT EVIL! HAHA!

Also, my blog is only slightly less evil than Dickson’s at 33% compared to his 40%.

Ah its very rare that a song really gets me the first time I hear it, but the new Eminem song “Bully” is excellent! I cannot wait for the new album!

If you like robots or are even slightly interested, you have to check out these videos. Pretty impressive work! I wish I had a robot that could be programmed to do that!

Many of you know about my MSN pictures already, and I have recieved a number of requests which I hope to get to soon. In the meantime, if you are looking for something a little different, check out Kevin Durdle’s “Stickman” pictures. I can’t imagine how much time he put into those! Very cool!

Yes it’s true, sad but true. Reading week is nearing its end. I really did not accomplish as much as I wanted to, but what else is new? Good game of Axis and Allies on Friday with Inge, Nick, Joe, Mike and Megan. I was also introduced to “Striperella” – my god TV is messed up these days! Well, only about 36 hours left, what shall I do?

RUM MY FRIEND! HAHAHA!

In other news, the Edmonton Oilers better win tonight against Vancouver!

Nothing beats the feeling of getting something to work after four days of trying! Damn programming intricacies anyways! Hooray! And its only 2:30 AM! So yeah, need to know about CodeAccessSecurityAttributes? Talk to me lol!
