So how did you celebrate this momentous day?

Me?
I sat on my couch like the loser that I am.
Doing absolutely nothing.

Happy Canada Day!
Bonne Fête du Canada

Somebody send me some Tim Horton’s Coffee.
And some Beaver Tails!

Please.

Stuck in a rut.
That’s where I am.

And nothing seems to be helping.
Not even music.

Need to reinvent self.
Need to grow.

Where to begin?
How to begin?

Stuck in a rut.
That’s where I am.

I would like to tell you about a process called
“Distributed Computing.”

I know its a little technical term,
and it has “Boring” written all over it.
But if I could just have your attention for a minute,
I would like to share with you how this can be a great thing.

Tomorrow marks the historic transition
from Analog to Digital TV Broadcast.

I don’t think anyone needs to be reminded of it
since the government and the media pretty much
shoved it into our brains that we need to be ready for this new conspiracy.

I mean, come on.
The only ones that are really going to be affected are those who still use
the old Over-The-Air antenna reception that you get for free.
(This means you, Grandma.)

They don’t like that.
They do not like anyone getting anything for free.
And they made sure each and every member of your household knows
about the transition and how horrible it is if they get left behind.

My God, what are they so afraid of?
Are they afraid that if people don’t get to watch their TV Programs,
they might do something else… like
Go outside?
See other people?
Or worse,
Read a book?

Turning pages, rather than switching channels?
Ugh!
The horror!

Me?
Heck yeah, I’m ready.
It’s the NBA playoffs!
I have to have that in Digital!

Many of you might not believe me,
but I truly am nice.

I don’t want to toot my own horn,
so here’s my friend Herschelle, mentioning me on her site.

Herschelle.net/Danke

See!
I told you I was nice.
Except maybe when I’m hungry.

Du bist Willkommen, Anne!

They know what I like.

Yes, it may be faster and capable of more features,
but I am quite disappointed with the new iPhone 3GS.

Don’t get me wrong, I want it too.
But there is no way I am paying that much for a phone ever again.
I have learned my lesson there by acquiring the 3G.
(Unless my friend KaJo would hook me up into getting a better price.)

Anyway,
All I ever want is background apps.
I want my apps to run in the background, while I do other stuff on it.
3.0 is a good upgrade, and it promises Push Notifications, which is great!

I’ll worry about battery drain, Apple.
Just give me the ability to run multiple apps.

I have already forgiven you with the MMS support,
since I realized there is really no need to send a picture to my friends
of what crazy stuff I am getting in trouble from, at 3 in the morning.
There really is no urgency in that.
Unless they need proof that I really am in jail,
when I ask them to bail me out.

No matter.
A phone is a phone.
It can only give me whatever the carrier can support.
Even if I have the most complicated, most advanced phone,
it can only give me so much speed and stability
as the carrier can provide me.

So what I am saying is,
The real major failure here is AT&T.

29 other carriers, worldwide can support the features of the new
iPhone and the 3.0 OS, but not AT&T.

Why would they care?
No other carrier in the US has the freakin’ phone.
They need some competition with this crap.

I hope Apple sees this as a blackeye for them too.
I don’t understand why AT&T is not ready for this.
This thing did not happen overnight.

Or maybe.
Apple did not tell AT&T that they are doing this.
It gives them some credible reason to opt out from AT&T’s iPhone exclusivity

Ahh!
Very well played, Apple.
Very well played.

(Kaj, hook me up!)

AAhh!! The MTV Movie awards!
Another indication that I am old!
Another proof of how I cannot stand
this new generation of stars and celebrities.

I do not understand what these guys are trying to prove.
They already have the talent, (Well, some of them do.)
so why in the hell would they try to impress you more with such nonsense.
The shock value they are trying to convey
does not “shock” anymore.

I told you before.

If the NHL or the NBA finals are in full swing,
I am practically useless.

That is mainly the reason why there are no updates on this site.

In fact, I am writing this so fast,
I am not even gonna bthr wth the spellingf corrctns.

And no! I am not going to reveal who I am rooting for
since every time I do, they lose.

It’s true.
That is according to “The Prophecy!”
