Life between coffees.
Idiot Neighbour Child #2 likes to tune up the sub woofer in his car. Every week. Normally it’s just thumping music, hard to tell exactly what because the volume is so loud any substance is distorted to doof doof doof by the time it’s shaking our walls.
Well, today we found out what this bass slammin’ head banging day-glo safety vest wearing Neanderthal impersonator has as his music of choice.
We’re a little confused.
You’ve probably read me rave about Tom and John, the commentators on CKNW who call each Canucks game. They’re a major reason I became addicted to this sport.
Today they lost it. Tom makes a small slip of the tongue, holds it together for 30 seconds as he finishes his first key to the game and then they can’t help themselves.

I bagged me a new Tigers supporter today.
Poor Andy, came to me at work to discuss an idea for a project. He’s only just moved here from England so we got to chatting about cultural differences and football, naturally, came up. Seeing my chance I asked if he’d been dragged in to someones fold yet and he hadn’t.
Right, that’s what you call an instant supporter. He was sent off with the address of the club web site, an explanation of the scoring system and promise of more info to come.
I’m so proud of me, he didn’t have a chance and now we have one more supporter. You’ve got to get them any way you can, fair means or foul, especially when you’re Richmond. I’m just hoping he doesn’t do as well in the footy tipping as some other Englishman I know.
Corporate mumbo-jumbo speak has permeated the hallowed halls of Tigerland. You know that once sports people start talking corporate there is no hope.
Here’s what they said :
Strategically the club is aiming to leverage brand equity through reward and recognition, a program that has been received most positively by our members
Here’s what they mean:
“People appreciated being given stuff for signing on or staying as members.”
Time to get real Tigers or soon no ammount of ‘brand leveraging‘ or any other catchy new age marketing buzz word will save you.
So, Saddam was captured in ‘Operation Red Dawn’. Still no word on the outcomes of Operations Dirty Dancing and Point Break.
After a long, hot, lazy, boozy Sunday afternoon we want pizza; only thing is after demolishing a bottle of champagne each, along with some beers and red, neither of us can hop behind the wheel of a car.
It’s time to teach the seven year old how to drive.
I read This is Broken On a daily basis, gets me thinking about usability and user centered design issues. I sent something in a couple of months ago and had forgotten all about it until this morning.
