I no longer blog here unfortunately. I use mostly facebook/twitter/biteme for writing outlets, although none are as good or interesting as blogger. Maybe if I have more time I'll start again later. Nelson

It's surprising to see these two so lighthearted in the midst of a presidential election!I think Mccain's is a little funnier, maybe it's because I didn't expect this out of him.

Tomorrow is Canada's Federal Election. For me, the more local the election, the less interested I become. You may think that Canada's National Election is as big as they come, but I am 100x more interested in the American election. I've been closely following the American election, watching debates, reading on the latest news and of course watching Saturday Night Live. Tina Fey is

I can't believe the last weekend of summer is already approaching! I had a busy summer this year, which resulted in almost no blogging. Back in May, I had already planned almost every summer weekend until September. Surprisingly, not too many conflicts occurred this year, which was probably helped by joining just one softball league this year instead of the two I played in last year. This

Even though I don't have TV in Waterloo, I've been watching as much as I can when I'm in Toronto (HD signal from the air is sweet). It's been an exciting games. I managed to catch some of Phelps destroying his competition in the pool and the electrifying run by Usain Bolt. I think the most exciting medal for Canada was Simon Whitfield's triathlon run, coming from behind to capture the silver.

So many weddings this summer! Three years ago, I had hardly ever attended any weddings in my life, but just this summer I have 7! Four are Kitty's friends and 3 are my friends, which is a pretty even split considering that girls are often married younger. I only have 3 more to go for the rest of the summer. The best part is that they've been friends getting married, which makes it extra

I haven't been blogging much recently because I've been really busy. I find I blog less and less during the summer months, because I'd rather be outside or doing something instead of being indoors. I don't have a laptop yet, so I can't blog while outdoors. This weekend I went to NYC to help move my sister into a new place. I had one free night, so I went to the 5th Avenue Mac store and picked

The best news today was my realization that Calderon is a restricted free agent. That means we can match any offer made to him! We will likely be able to retain him, and it becomes even more important now that TJ is no longer with us.I liked TJ, but when compared to Jose, Calderon is better. I still think TJ is one of the fastest guards in the league, but his poor shooting really hurts the

Well the best possible matchup (entertainment) has happened! Even though it took some bad officiating in the Lakers/Spurs conference final, my wish has come true! I think the Lakers are a better team overall, since their big 3 of Kobe, Gasol and Odom match up quite well with Boston's big three of Pierce, Ray Allen and Garnett. Plus they have the best player on the court in Kobe with a killer

Sorry, I haven't been blogging recently because I've been trying to get my star in MarioKart Wii, which I've finally achieved today. I also hit up Bomber last week, which brought back so many good memories. So many good times there :) I posted some photos on facebook. But I wanted to get my predictions in before the series got far:Boston vs Detroit: I think Detroit will win because they are

They are starting Round 2 today, even though the Boston/Atlanta series hasn't been resolved yet. I haven't caught any of the that series' games, but the result is surprising. Boston was never challenged and they don't have a clear go to guy which is causing some problems. I still think Boston will be able to win at home tomorrow. If they do I'll be 6/8 in my predictions. I watched most of

So today, like the past 5 days I went to Harvey's for lunch. I ordered my Angus Burger and Garden Side Salad and happily ate it. It was tasty. The burger was big, juicy and meaty. I felt fine all week, but this afternoon I started feeling bad. I felt bloated and fat. I felt like my stomach had expanded. Lately, I haven't been as regular as I like. My fruits this week, cantaloupe, bananas

While attending her Jack and Jill, a drunk Andrea made me feel guilty for not taking advantage of free food, so I decided to make up for my past transgressions by overcompensating and taking advantage of this tremendous deal from Harvey's.Let me explain what I mean by "overcompensate" and "take advantage". When I first heard about this through Teresa, she mentioned it was being abused by

Raptor Playoff tickets went on sale to the general public last Saturday at 11 AM. So Saturday at 10:50 AM I start hitting F5 in Firefox. Surprisingly, the site is not slow at all, so I slow down. Right at 11AM, the page loads and there's an option to buy tickets. I quickly look for some upper bowl tickets hit search....and seats are found!! OMG! I quickly fill in my purchasing info and I

I went to the Blue Jay home opening weekend series with Andrea, Mike and some of her cousins. It was a great game, because Skydome was pretty lively, we had Halladay on the mound and the Red Soxes were in town.The Red Sox were pretty sloppy, which I attributed to their recent trip to Japan. Their shortstop made 3 errors in the game! But the most exciting thing was something I've never

Almost every year, I go to watch some Raptor games. This year, I haven't attended any yet, but my plan is to save my money so I can attend a playoff game. My cousin Eric went last year (or the year before) and said it was worth it. Last year would have been good, because Vince Carter was in the house. This year, he apparantly is taking on more of a leadership role now that Kidd got traded to

The NBA season has been incredible this year. Absolutely incredible. If you are a fan of basketball, you already know this. I think there are two big reasons why. Number one, the level of talent in the NBA is off the charts right now. There haven't been any expansion teams to dilute the talent in recent years and it seems there are good players on all the teams, with the elite teams having a

Last week Bell started to throttle all traffic on their network, including wholesale traffic sold to independent ISPs. This means TekSavvy is screwed. I used to think there were laws that prevented this from happening, but it doesn't seem to be the case. Having open networks encourages competition, which is good for the consumer. It also encourages faster adoption of technology, and in

They finally announced Rock Band for Wii today. I wanted to get Rock Band as soon as it came out last fall, but since I don't own a PS3 or Xbox 360 I was SOL. So I patiently waited for this announcement. I even held off buying Guitar Hero III, since I wanted to know if the guitars would be compatible with Rock Band. The answer seems to be "we hate consumers, fuck no".I had a chance to play it

Recently there has been a lot of controversy about comments Obama's pastor have made. I don't think it's such a big deal, but the media is making it to be. He responded with a speech about race relations that may decide the outcome of the presidential primaries. I think there is so much potential in Obama as president, as a leader who is able to cause change for the better. Listen:Here is the

I visited Hong Kong six months ago and I haven't blogged about my trip, except for, obviously, the food pictures. I have a few thoughts about Hong Kong that I wrote down soon after returning, but never got around to posting and I'll share them now.The most noticeable difference is the sheer number of people. I thought New York was densely populated, but Hong Kong is denser by several orders.
