Monopoly
Yea, well I cheat at Monopoly, its the only way to even try to beat Jenn, she never looses.
Last time I played, I was the banker, I kept stealing 500’s outta the till, putting money others gave me for purchases in my account vs in the bank, etc etc. All the dirty tricks. I still got my ass handed to me.
If you look at answer #2 to How to: play Monopoly and win , “Be the banker and steal from the bank. “, I’d just like to say, it doesn’t work if you play Jenn.

Geeks are still cool, hmm, actually, it’s ‘uncool’ to not be a geek now, crazy. From age 8-15, I was getting the living crap kicked out of me for being a geek. Crazy.
Oh, and Troubled Tina still ain’t said crap other then that one statement, I think she might be a one trick wonder.. sorta like Dan Brennan.

Hmm, I’m still a little cranky
Oddly enough, it still bugs me that some little punk ass bitch would steal ONLY the plastic bottles from outside of our old Duplex.. That’s even below my current level of insanity.

So our insurance goes down, yippie! But since we’re in a better area, it goes up, but not as much as it went down.. so that means we pay less then before, but not as little as we could? Insane.

Wil Wheaton?
Well Dear Crap. You know you should feel ashamed when Wil Wheaton think’s you’re scum.
Last month, Penny Arcade created a makeshift charity, called Childs Play (Details here). Childs Play donated over $200,000 in cash and games, game systems, and misc. cool gear ($27,406.18 in cash & over $175,000 in gear) to a Seattle children.s hospital. A very awesome gift for the kids this holiday, also not a bad step in making the media realize that we’re not all bloodthirsty killers because we like to shoot zombies in a make believe world.
I did a few reports about 8-9 years ago when I was in high school about how idiotic the idea that gamers are being “trained to kill”, and are the “next great menace to our future”, or other idiotic crap.
That was almost a decade ago, I know, it dates me, but still, a decade or more… That’s basically one full generation of kids out there, who grew up on video games.
So that means, that since everybody who donated to Childs Play had a credit card, they’re above the age of 18. The people who donated to Childs Play were raised in the video game age. Not bad that these “monsters of society” can raise going on a quarter of a million dollars of toys & funds for a worthy cause.
I know, you’re probably saying, “This is just a stunt to try to save the reputation of Gamers”. You’d be wrong. The Media (Capitol M) ignored the entire thing. The few that did pay attention to it reported the entire thing as a donation from a “catholic school, and were valued at nearly a thousand dollars”… By the way, did I mention nearly A Quarter of a Million Dollars? Shit, they had bins of GBA SP’s and Xbox.s and Game Cubes, and literally, truckloads of other stuff. The Media makes too much money off fear and paranoia; of course its not going to say that one of their meal tickets isn.t quite as diabolical as they’d lead you to believe.
Search google for news on Childs Play, and you get three results.. Luckily Media Reform gets a lot of results.
Wil Wheaton had a few sweet comments about the situation. As well as Tyco from Penny-Arcade got his final 2 cents in.

Canadian journalists should be covering this story.
A snippit from PaulMartinTime.ca, who is being sued on christmas day by the Liberal Party.
I woke up on Wednesday morning to a phone call from a friendly guy named Tim, who informed me that I had one hour to take down the website, PaulMartinTime.ca, or he would set the lawyers loose on our asses (that’s not a quote, but it’s an accurate summary).
In between his friendly but businesslike remarks, he dropped a few remarks intended to make me nervous. He said, for example, that he “had a little trouble getting through privacy.ca, but they’re no longer supporting your cause.” If we had in fact been using privacy.ca, that would be pure power-play. It would mean that he had intimidated (legally or otherwise) a company whose function it is to protect the identity of people who use it into breaking its sole mandate. As it turns out, we don’t use privacy.ca; the address of Rob Maguire, the person who registered paulmartintime.ca, is publically available, for all with an internet connection to see.
What an awesome way to spend our tax dollars! Remind me again why I voted for this retard… OH WAIT, I didn’t.

Downloading MP3s via P2P is now technically legal here in Canada thanks to an MP3 player tax. Just don’t upload anything.
Also, the Supreme Court of Canada began hearing arguments over whether Internet Service Providers (ISPs), should start paying tariffs for Canadian music downloaded by the public.
Oh and what in the name of fuck is this shit? Japan needs to take a time out from the internet. Somebody pull their uplink, please?

Speaking of Jenn, here you go babe.. we all know you’re a trekie. At least one of us will understand it.

Hell, if you really want to get around US Customs and the glorified security guards associated with them, buy this.

The Transport Security Administration maintains an allowable and banned items list (PDF).
Yay, well it’s US law, so obviously it will filter down to us Canadians… yay! Oddly enough, I’ve been hassled for some items which are ok to travel with according to this list..
Of course, I look evil.

Too many cool ads get rejected from our airwaves because the censors suck in north america. Here are 10 of the most wacked ads (Windows Media .ASF format) that I would love to see on our television networks… but never will.
Oh, and also, I’m flame retardant.. no not retarded. Smart ass.
The PSX is almost out for the North American audience, the dvr/dvdr/ps2/sex toy/ps1 gadget for all you geeks. If it wern’t a grand US, I’d think about it. For now, you can pick them up on Lik Sang.. ahh dear sweet Lik Sang.. if that company had the right orifices.. I swear I’d be in jail.

After a few months, I decided to put The Gallery back up due to the fact I got an email about a new version of the software used, which reminded me that I had taken it down a few months ago.. Oppsy, stupid short term memory.
