In case you didn’t already know how smart she is, she is also now on the Deans List for her program.

Way to go sweetheart.

I’m quite tired of shopping online, buying some trivial item and paying 3-10x more for shipping. Case in point, replacement screws for my Palm T3. Seems that the T3 can’t hold onto it’s screws very well and starts to fall apart. So I went looking for screws, found them from a US store, $7. Okay, that’s not too bad, but wait, they don’t ship to Canada, “Go to our sister store to order them if you live in Canada”. Enter the Canadian store, suddenly these tiny screws which cost a grand total of 8 cents to make, cost $30, with flat rate shipping of $21. After an angry rant, I tried searching again.

Enter my saviour Carmine Castiglia at www.infosystemspro.com. Here, the wonderful Carmine, sells the screws for $7, quite reasonable, since I really need them, and he charged an additional 29 cents to ship them to Canada, presumably the difference in the stamp to mail it internationally. FINALY! The only store in the known universe with a reasonable shipping policy. Thank you Carmine. You’re a saviour.

My Uncle Rob, who is stationed in Kandahar, got his picture taken with Prime Minister Harper during his visit on March 13th. My uncle is the one in the bottom left of the photo. Come home safe! Photo courtesy of CTV.

I picked up Burnout the Revenge last night for the 360. It’s awsome. Great graphics, but a little slow some times when playing back crash intersections and counting up your points. I don’t know if it’s stressing the capabilities of the 360 or if it is a coding issue. Hopefuly there will be a patch out. Other than that, it’s excellent.

I ordered a sweet shirt with my gamertag on it, so I can wear it while fragging people in Perfect Dark Zero. Totally l33t. I got mine through Facetags.

I have been sick since last Thursday, and I’m finally back on my feet and back at work. Unfortunately, I was on vacation to spend time with Staysea last week, and that didn’t go too well, with me completely out of it for the majority of her reading week. I think the last time I was sick was on vacation too, in Vancouver on my birthday, so I’m doing really well getting sick when I’m supposed to be having fun. Yay me.
