TGTBTU II

The Good The Bad and The Ugly II

The Good

Didn't know about these until K&K loaned (gave) us a few poo bags. Yes, that's right, poo bags. You know it's true love friendship when a friend will bring you poo bags when asked and the GOOD ones too. After spending $100 at MEC (Am trans: REI) last night, noticed they're using these too!

I spent a little bit too much time looking at these java applets. The pink sphere with the dots on it was quite mesmerizing.

We knew there was a lot of filming going on in Vancouver, but not how much. Almost weekly we'll see the parked caravan of white trailers/RVs along the side of nearby streets. Even had a whole film crew outside M's school one day (they were filming in the gym). If you wanted to know what was going on in our 'hood. Check out the BC Film Commission. So far I've been able to keep Dan off the Battlestar Galactica set.






The Bad

People can be paid (poorly) to talk about specific products in their blogs. Not that I don't think people should make money on their blogs (that's what adsense is for) but why sell your soul for the amount that this would pay? I just don't get this.

The Ugly

The concept of a scrapbooking cruise frightened me more than I can describe. You know this sort of thing can't end well. Someone is going to die horribly, with gore. The blood smeared decorative edged scissors will be found the next day under lifeboat 23.

And this weeks stangest site goes to the good old Catholic Church. At first glance, nothing too strange about this. Then you pause, and think, and think more. WHO is this for? Who wants this? Who needs this? Does this count as church credit? Is El Pape checking up on the quality of the sermons? Do the parishioners have to sign a "your prayer may be monitored EULA"?
