Comment on Rogers is now using pictures of crying children to trick me into signing up for digital TV service by Borden Rhodes

I guess I’m more special than you because I got three cards and you only got one! But I like the one you got. Mine just had sad pets on them. Abused-looking children are far more entertaining. Ironically, I think these cards will be Rogers’s downfall once people start cancelling their service just to get one!

Comment on Treasures from the Trinity College Book Sale by Dave C.

Hey Andrew, thanks for the walk down Memory Lane; I used to go to the sale when I lived in the Beaches; spent way too much time diving under the tables into the boxes; would go 2-3 times; usually the opening day, and the last day, plus a day in between if possible; loved the smell of all the old books ;-)
there were great prices in the late 70′s early 80′s but last I went 10 years ago, they had gone up drastically;
Cheers
Dave

Wish I could have made it to this event.

G seems to really know where the money is online.

His latest venture gWallet just launched a $20,000 guarantee that any vendor will generate more revenue when they switch from their current monetization platform to gWallet.

gWallet has facilitated 1.7 million minutes of in game video ads so far…

…I used to doubt the viability of virtual currency but after reading on the gWallet blog that the worlds Most Expensive Virtual Object recently sold for $330,000 USD I’m thinking G might just be on to something here.

Cheers,

Garin

I just got home, checked my mail, opened that exact letter (while remarking to my roommate that it was probably a Rogers ad), recycled it, then sat down at my computer and read this. I also get similar ads trying to con me into signing back up for their internet service (the previous residents used Rogers). I wish I could somehow opt out of these—we have absolutely no need for television or phone service, and we get 8x as much bandwidth and 1.5x the speed of a comparable Rogers plan via TekSavvy.

The unmarked envelopes are underhanded, and the constant barrage of junk mail is a waste of time and money.

Comment on A few things I learned at the Macallan Scotch tasting by Isaac Ezer

Isaac Ezer — Sun, 20 Dec 2009 13:19:42 +0000

I found some awesome videos of the ice-ball maker. Not surprisingly it’s big in Japan. Should have gotten some Macallan scotch at Bar Track.

Thanks for sharing these shots Andrew. I missed it again, this year, sadly. Keeping my fingers crossed that I’ll be there next year!

Ilan: hah, nice reference – embarrassed that I had to look that up.

Melissa: thanks!

Rob, if I were more pugnacious, I’d point out that a fisheye lens is slightly different. Compare: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Panotools5618.jpg (fisheye is the top one). My lens is just a standard wide angle.

Awesome pics, captures the spirit of Hohoto Andrew… and that fisheye definitely brings out my best side. Hah!!

These are really beautiful snaps. Not only do I love the ROM, but you’ve got my Alma mater in there.

Cheers and very nice to formally meet you last night, Andrew.
