You can tell that because we’re at home more, there’s more time for things on TV to seep into my subconscious. One day, I looked at Steve and said “So many names of drugs sound like things out of Star Trek!” I think he thought I was nuts, but he humoured me, and eventually I …

The Littlest Hobo Theme Is A Folk Song Now
For my money there’s no beating the original, but if you’re going to cover the Littlest Hobo theme song, you could certainly do a lot worse than this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ha-0NCTN-bE I’ll confess I’m not super familiar with Kate Rusby, but this has me wanting to hear more.
Bravect…Uh-Oh!
It’s close to the beginning of the month, which got me thinking about something. Whenever I see the commercial for Bravecto, the dog flea and tick preventative, I feel like I’m living in opposite land. First, I’ll show you the commercial. So the commercial says since you only have to give your dog Bravecto once …
How We Are
lyrics are here. I figured now would be a good time to say how we’re doing. I know that soundtrack is a little dark, and it’s darker than it needs to be, but it’s been going through my head, in the sense that when something sudden and life-changing happens, your priorities completely shift. It feels …
We Can Make What?
When Rogers Ignite changed their slogan to…this, we couldn’t figure out what it was saying. Was it we give Mike a mop? We can like Mark? We can go to Mars? We can make a month? We can make a monk? Guaca macca mole? We can make a march? We eventually settled on “We can …
You…Are Yogurt!
I’m starting to wonder if I’m losing the part of me that responds to the warm fuzzies that some commercials try to generate. Take this YOP ad for example. Granted, the version I keep seeing just starts with the group of four young people saying “If you want to build a better world, …” and …
If Alexa or Google Gives You Some Bad Info Now and Then, Don’t Be Surprised
I know I have written before about a kid picking on her virtual assistant, but I’ve seen another version of this, and this one seems even worse, in a strange way. Here’s the ad in question…almost. Apparently this ad was made for the Super Bowl, and we got a slightly abbreviated one. In ours, she …

A Quick Note To CTV Kitchener
If you guys deliberately included the line about the family being left to pick up the pieces in the story about two people dying in a house explosion, thank you. That was the best laugh I’ve had all day. But if you find yourselves getting more viewer reactions that are less positive than this one, …
The House In The Middle
The message here, I think, is that if you take care of your property, you might just have the luxury of dying more slowly should someone one day drop an atomic bomb on your neighbourhood. Atomic tests at the Nevada Proving Grounds (later the Nevada Test Site) show effects on well-kept homes, homes filled with …
Netflix Is About To Nuke Your Account If You Haven’t Been Using It
I have no idea who has Netflix and isn’t watching it right now, but if you happen to fall into that group or know someone who might, this seems like a thing you’re going to want to know. In a very uncommon move by a subscription-based service, Netflix announced Thursday that it will begin canceling …
