Hello all!

Recently I installed Linux on my home pc. (Which by the by, went great!) I find myself with a fresh new Firefox installation. The bad part is, it’s not really Firefox yet, at least to me. That’s right folks. I have become so dependent on an ever growing list of extensions that I can’t even browse properly.

I need to share this list with all of you. I need you to understand MY need. So take a look, grab some of these bad boys and don’t look back.

Adblock Plus

So just in case you didn’t pick on what this guy does by the name. It blocks advertisements. In a nutshell this extension will hide all banner ads from a website. That includes images and flash. In the old days it used to be called just “Adblock” and you would have to teach the extension what ads to block. Eventually you …

Today I discovered netvibes.com. It is awesome. I am actually writing this post inside the netvibes shell.

It lets you organize modules (kinda like widgets) which allow you to access all your favorite sites and services on one page. It’s very cool but very geeky. Checker out!!

Hey Everyone.

I heard from some fans the RSS feed wasn’t working, more specifically, iTunes. I myself don’t use iTunes. I prefer one of many alternative programs (I use floola). I looked into it and it seems that there was a little bit of white space at the top of the RSS XML Feed. Because of this, iTunes was not reading the headers properly. This resulted in our show not being syndicated into iTunes! Sorry! I have corrected it and now your auto downloads should resume to your iPod!

Hey Everyone.

I though I would write and tell you all about the Ottawa Outdoor skating map I have created here > Ottawa Skating Map Site.

Basically it lists all the outdoor skating maps in Ottawa on a google map. It tells you about rink properties. Like it they have lights, bathrooms or supervision.

After finishing it someone suggested I write to the city of Ottawa. Which I did today. I have included the letter below.

I hope I hear back soon!! I’ll keep you all updated.

Hi Kathy,

My name is Tom Wilson.

This email probably hasn’t reached the right person. but if you could kindly forward it someone who the subject matter is relevant to. It would be very much appreciated!

I just wanted to let you know I have built a tool to view all the Ottawa skating rinks on a map. I think it does …

Winter is coming. I can feel it. I’m actually a little excited for it. I think only because Christmas is coming as well. After Christmas winter can kiss my ass.

But even still, the winter season kind of excites me. I like the idea of being couped up inside a warm house drinking hot chocolate and hibernating for a few months. That’s the ultimate catch however, I only like the ‘idea’ of it. In practice winter actually sucks. You need to clear the snow off your car before you can drive. Not to mention the fact that the car is going to be freezing for the first ten minutes you’re inside it anyway. Your socks get wet on the way to work and you have to spend the rest of the day with …

I recently purchased a game collection called “The Orange Box”.It contains Half Life 2 , Portal, and my new favourite game of all time ever TEAM FORTRESS 2.

Team Fortress 2 (TF2) is amazing. I’ve played it way more then is good for me over the last few days and I would like to share my new addiction with the world.

The game is a first person shooter but involves MUCH more strategy and tactics then most run and gun shooters. There is 9 different ‘classes’ you can play as and each one has very specific advantages and disadvantages depending on your situation. There is also in game voice chat which is absolutely a must if you want to succeed.

Anyway… it’s awesome…. if you want to check it …

So the other day I filmed a little movie on a WestJet plane. I received a lot of feedback on it and was feeling a pretty warm buzz. In all my personal glory I came to the decision that I had to tell WestJet about it, but how?!

The following is the email I sent to WestJet.

Hey!

I was bored on a flight and recorded a video and thought you might get a kick out of it. I am not sending this for any other reason besides the fact I think it turned out well, and am proud.

I got tickets for this flight back in April when WestJet had the 10 dollar ticket sale, what a great deal!

How did you get this email? I just looked for email addresses on the WestJet website, and then sent away!

Hello internet surfing people. I like to think that the majority of our viewers/readers are well informed people. I like to think that they MUST already know about Ze Frank and how awesome he is. But this is most likely not the case…. So, go check him out!

There’s loads of little flash things to waste your time with, but more importantly you need to watch “The Show”. He did a daily video podcast for one year and it is incredible, inspiring, and humbling…. So enjoy

Yes. This just in. There is a God. And he loves me. I swear. He does.

Last year on our camping trip to Crab lake. I was very sick. I had the flu. And for the 4 days we were there. It rained. It rained horribly. Every moment, of every day.

There was even a moment, when I was wrapped in a tarp, wearing everything I have brought, soaking with sweat and rain, shivering, puking on my feet every 5 mins, that I actually considered Crab lake a living hell.

On the drive home after 4 days of death, I swore to myself that I would never go camping again. EVER. Well folks. After work tomorrow I’m driving up again, but this year God is apologizing. Look at this forecast.

It’s pure heaven on earth. I’m so excited.

We are up from Wednesday to Monday. So basically every day seen …
