OpenID

One of the reasons I am considering switching to WP is OpenID.  This is a new way to identify yourself across different websites.  It saves you from constantly getting a login everywhere you go.  If you don’t know about where to register, try myopenid.com and get yours!

No more eye contact

As technology drives up close and personal wedges in between us, I’ve noticed that when you pull up to a red light, almost 90% of the time the car beside will not pull up even with you, soasto avoid any chance of making eye contact.

Am I the only one to notice this?  Check it out for yourself next time you hit the next red light.

VW lights

Has anyone else noticed that VWs have a major electrical problem?  How many VWs have you been behind with one or more tailights out?  I see it all the time, and can only speculate there is a large recall type problem with these vehicles. 

Canada Company: Many Ways To Serve

After reading about the three latest soldies to die, some of them with kids, I was glad to read there is a company that appears to offer some sort of scholarship mechanism to take care of the orphans.

Canada Company provides a platform to do things in our communities and our workplace. Making the route to serve as supportive as possible and providing the care that is deserved whenever needed is a contribution that we can, and should, make as both business leaders and citizens.

Gold for Bolt

Let’s hope the latest 100m star will survive all the drug tests.  If so, it’s a remarkable achievement.  It’s also the end of Canada and Great Britain’s importing of Jamaicans to win track and field gold.  Seems they do better staying at home.

Usain Bolt earned a triple-triple of sprint gold medals and world records today, an unprecedented Olympic feat that elevated him alongside Michael Phelps as the stars of the Beijing Games.

Ah, the memories of Ben Johnson “I never took no stereos” of 20 years ago!  The above picture is also tremendous…beautiful lighting and amazing clarity.

Global cooling now?

When are the environazis going to stop?  Now we have global cooling.

According to recent news reports, a top observatory that has been measuring sun spot activity predicts that global temperatures will drop by two degrees over the next 20 years as solar activity slows and the planet drastically cools down.

When is the green fad going to be over?  I can hardly wait.

Why everyone’s getting Type 2

A great read on an epidemic more dangerous than AIDS.

We all know by now that type 2 diabetes is an epidemic. We’re seeing words like crisis and runaway all over the news and in the journals. Heart disease rates have been cut in half since the staggering margarine days of the 1980s, but diabetes has swiftly risen to fill that gaping void and meet the challenge of Completely Unnecessary Disease Epidemic.

Blast from the past

Anyone old enough to remember the Mississauga fire of 1979 must have been worried about this today.

Although it was a miracle that thousands escaped unscathed from a series of massive explosions in the city’s northwest end early today, a firefighter has died and at least one other person is unaccounted for.
