I ordered a hilarious shirt from Busted Tees on March 4th and it just got here today. In the end, they took 6 weeks to get two tshirts to Toronto, Canada (not even a little town or anything).

On their FAQ page they say, “International orders can take 2-3 weeks.” I emailed them [...]

I couldn’t believe what the CBC was reporting today: there are only two Canadian navy ships out at sea!

The navy had earlier said that all but two ships on the East and West Coasts are tied up. HMCS Ottawa is in the Persian Gulf, and HMCS Charlottetown is out performing sea trials.

I call on the [...]

WARNING: THIS BLOG POSTING WAS WRITTEN IN ANGER

My buddy, Joe, just pointed out that my blog is now considered “badware” by the idiots over at StopBadware.org. These d1ck-heads have some problem with my blog, and have blacklisted me on Google (this is what people see when I search for my blog).

I’ve been waiting to hit the tender age of 25 to use AutoShare, but along came Zipcar that only requires you to be 21+! w00t! I can finally leave this smog-infested, hell-hole I call The City Casino Niagara, here I come!

Zipcar - Car sharing, cars by the hour or day
Zipcars live [...]

Lately I’ve been getting insane traffic from Google Images and my host, HostForWeb, has been getting pissed off. The problem isn’t the bandwidth per-se, but the processing power required to render every page of my blog (complete with several hits to a MySQL database).

I don’t have the cash for a dedicated hosting package, so [...]
