At first I thought is was salt water, but then how do you explain Corsica. Mountains? Nope. Borders? Maybe. But the most logical illogical explanation for the French election results is that the Oceans make people vote Socialist (unless they live off the coast of Madagascar). As you know, the same is

This is a For Your Information post from a blogger who lives in a very fragile glass house. Heaven knows, spelling, typo avoidance and grammar are not my strong suites. However, since the error is most often made by English speaking writers, I thought I’d point it out. Because capitalizing every word in a

This is just wrong on so many levels. "Ligne jaune" (yellow metro line) is the way the vast majority of spectators will get to Montreal's F1 race tomorrow. To get to the yellow metro line from Montreal, you'd use the Berri-UQAM station. To advocate that people should congregate in protest

I'm a fan of racing. It is the type of mind numbing yet all engrossing sports that I can really get into every couple of weeks. And on Sunday, the  Formula 1 is in Montreal, where I were I got my university degree. I'm all for free education and a

I'm not sure what iTune's cut is (at least 30%) but based on the TV ratings, the show Mad Men would barely be viable even if all it's regular 3.5 million American viewers forked over $3 every week to buy it. Man Men depends or cross subsidisation via subscriptions. People

Apparently there is some sort of controversy surrounding these pictures. That is good, because I can therefor post them here under the fair dealing exception of the Canada’s copyright Act. First of all, Terran Echegoyen-McCabe, left, is absolutely stunning. Second of all, young women in uniform are hot (prison, nurse, army,

Justin Bieber gets punched in the face, over and over again. If you are a 12 year old girl, don’t cry, his face survived.

Don’t you hate it when people ignore the rules? “Don’t lean on the door”! How hard is that to understand?What is next, people eating on the DC subway? Photo stolen from here. 

Some people (just like Donald Trump, I don’t give names), think God is like the Wizard of Oz. This is blatantly false. Before I continue, please be advised I’m procrastinating on a boring task and this is my over-caffeinated way of pretending to be productive. Also, I’ve been reading Gawker and watching Colbert, champions of hipster humour.

I’d like to thank Gawker for providing this funny clip (somehow viewable in Canada) of Colbert explaining the silly election season and the appeal’s to the fringe vote. Two questions: -How does Gawker get permission to post this (if they do)? -How do they make their money (I don’t see

The Metawatch is now iPad (3) compatible thanks to Bluetooth 4. It will also work with the iPhone 4S. What other watch can do that? None. No, the soon to exist Pebble is not going to be iPad compatible (Although obviously that could change in the future as feature-creep sets in). So do

Call your stockbroker tomorrow and buy shares of the Daily Mail and General Trust. The masses have arrived on the Internet, and that company is taking full advantage. The Daily Mail was Britain’s first daily newspaper aimed at the newly literate “lower-middle class market. (Wikipedia)  Staying true to its origins, this

Some people who should know better, they tend to be British, think English is a global language. If global means on different continents, then yes. But Mandarin, German, Portuguese, French and…
