Well, tonight is the night. I’m sure there is no doubt in your mind about who I am hoping will win. I hope the Vancouver Canucks beat the Boston Bruins in Game 7 of the NHL Playoffs.

BEST of luck to the Vancouver Canucks!

It’s been a while since I posted some funny sign pictures that I took myself. Hopefully I’ll be out more with my dSLR in 2011 to get higher quality pics. Anyway, here are some funny sign pictures below. There are no funny church sign pictures this time, but hopefully soon!

I also managed to get a screenshot of the AllStar Weekend Wikipedia page before it was “corrected”

The End!

MTA Rail Suspended while snow is cleared

Kevin — Mon, 27 Dec 2010 15:51:05 +0000

As most of you know the North East of the United States and Canada have been hit hard (and currently being hit hard) by a crazy snow storm. People are stranded everywhere and states of emergency have actually been declared.

MTA have cancelled (suspended) their Rail lines as they try to clear snow. If you want more information about it check out the website (which is up and running) below.

Martial Law in the UK

Kevin — Thu, 16 Dec 2010 01:03:10 +0000

A lot of people are wondering if there is a state of Martial Law in the United Kingdom. The answer is NO, for now anyways. Some high ranking officials want to ban protesting. The protests over the past little while have been very violent and there have been many injuries on both sides of the protest. The problem is that protesting is your right. The problem is once you take away that right a lot of people will consider it “martial law”. I think it’s going to be interesting to see where this goes over the next few days.

Saddle Airline Seats

Kevin — Wed, 15 Sep 2010 00:00:03 +0000

If you’re like me, you already find airline seats uncomfortable! If Skyrider has their way, since airlines are losing so much money already, it is about to get a whole lot worse.

Apparently these are the seats of the future and they only have 23 inches of leg room. I have to admit the seats look super awesome and cool. They don’t look like they would be comfortable enough for a flight over 30 minutes. What do you think?

NBC: The Office – Dwight’s Song About Canada and Olympics

Kevin — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 01:45:54 +0000

I just wanted to share a link I saw on facebook today. Pam asks Jim if Vancouver is in British Columbia because that is where the Olympics are being held. He then breaks into a funny song. This video is the Official one from the NBC website so it should stay up. Thank’s NBC for having EMBED codes :). Nice to see you getting with the times. Now if only you allowed me to view your Saturday Night Live clips from Canada :(.

Video is after the Jump…

Carbon Tax – Great Idea or Permission to Pollute?

Kevin — Sat, 26 Dec 2009 22:28:14 +0000

Do I believe in Global Warming? I definitely do. Are we to blame for a lot of it? Yes we are. Do I believe Global Warming is a big business? Yes. Most of the stuff in the world is a business. No matter what it is, from a newspaper, to a news show, they are all out to make money.

We have all seen or slept through Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth. I have to admit it shocked me and scared me right off the bat when I was watching it and when I finished watching it. I then started doing research and was bombarded by many different sources of information for and against.

One topic that comes up a lot is Carbon Tax. The sad thing is that while Carbon Tax is a great thing, it boils down to the fact that many people are getting super rich off of this.

Carbon Trading or “Cap and Trade” is known as the trading of carbon credits. If a company doesn’t pollute as much as another company, the company that wants to pollute more can buy up the unused credits from the company that pollutes less. This is basically permission to pollute more. Now the extra they have to pay to pollute more could be passed onto the customer ( or has at least been speculated in my research). I don’t see how this act of “Cap and Trade” can actually reduce emissions. I see it as increasing emissions and padding the pockets of the polluters. Am I wrong? If so please inform me.

I understand it can help the environment but I guess just like anything it is to make a lot of money to a small group of individuals.

I could be completely wrong but I definitely want your opinions on this!
