Tait’s first over last night was one of the fastest and dangerous looking [...]

As this post goes live, I’m most likely lying on the beach, singing about piña colada’s or something. Holidays are awesome. So is automated post scheduling! I can look semi-productive even when I’m sunning myself. Thanks to modern technology, here’s a picture of me catching some holiday rays. Ok… it’s not really me, but I [...]

I don’t normally post “cute”, but seeing as though I’m on holidays I’ll have to be honest… I was looking for filler! Don’t be offended, it’s just that it’s hard for me to post when I’m sitting by the beach working on my tan and drinking drinks with little paper umbrellas in them. Plus, I [...]

I’m guessing that you can pretty much travel any where in the world and you’ll find someone that has an opinion on George Bush. Sometimes you have to wonder whether or not the only people that will be sad to see him leave the White House are stand up comedians and guys like David Letterman. [...]

If you live in Victoria, you may have noticed WorkSafe’s “graphic new ad campaign”. Personally, I’m a little tired of the “graphic new ad campaign” thing, it’s been done. I’d say I’m borderline desensitized. I’d prefer to see something intelligent and memorable, not disturbing and memorable. The ‘shock horror’ approach seems to lose it’s impact [...]

It’s no secret that I’m a big fan of comic books (I just finished reading Batman: Face the Face). Anyway, today I stumbled across the “Create Your Own Superhero” application on the Marvel Kids website. It took me a good minute and a half to get over my excitement, after which time I sat down [...]

Thanks to Wayne’s World, I can’t hear or read the word ‘vacuum’ without thinking about Garth and the Suck Cut. The hair cutting device that sucks as it cuts… and from memory it definitely did suck. What’s my point? Well, some people associate regular house hold objects with other stuff. Take this character from Michigan [...]
