In spite of the fact that it’s yet another thing owned by Rogers,Rogers Sportsnet Onesounds good to me. I generally like Sportsnet as a network other than the regional blackouts but those are a fact of life that’s not going away any time soon, and access to more out of market live events is something …

The Trek To New Trekker Software And Maps
Hehehe! It’s a good day! Why is it a good day? Because I got my Trekker software and maps updated! Yeeee! I have yet to go take Trekker on a test walk, mainly because I’m crazy and finally got things updated at 2 or 3 in the morning. I’ll talk about my impressions after I’ve …

Canada’s Most Reliably Awful Company
I’m going to largely letthis articlespeak for itself and only say that if there was a better option for internet, TV and cell phone service around here, I’d switch in a heartbeat.

You Almost Wouldn’t Know It, But I Really Am Looking Forward To The Home Run Derby

And A Partridge In A Pear Tree?
Thanks Ann for this one. I think I’m even going to use her subject line as my title. Wow! How big is this guy’s ass that he was able to smuggle into jail: a cigarette lighter, rolling papers, a baggie of tobacco the size of a golf ball, a smaller baggie of marijuana, a 1-inch …
Finally Some News Worth Watching
This is pretty cool. The Onionisgetting its own show on the Independent Film Channel.The show will be called Onion News Network which I assume means it will be similar to the videos that are already posted online under that name, and will begin airing next year. “It just seems to us, CNN, Fox News and …
