iPhone 3G = Goodbye dear Razr and 15 minutes of battery life

Published by Jughead on Tagged Geek

Finally, today is a longtime coming: the actual acknowledgment and release date of the iPhone north of the border. It has been confirmed that July 11th is the day where I may be camped outside of a Rogers or Fido *or Apple* outlet to get my hands on a sweet lil’ gizmo.

Goodbye CBC, hello TSN

Published by Jughead on Tagged Sports

As far as I’m concerned, the bigwigs over at CBC Sports have done yet another injustice to their sports programming that, in my opinion, continues their decent as a viable programming option on TV today.

First with the firing of Chris Cuthbert, then the loss of the CFL and now losing their staple Hockey Night in Canada theme, about all that’ll keep me coming back is future Canuck game coverage and 2008 Olympic events (they lost out on the 2010 and 2012 games to Bell and Rogers respectively).

Boy, Scott Moore really has his finger on the pulse that is target demographic and viewership interest.

Personally, I could care less who holds the rights to the Hockey Theme. While not larger than the game itself, the theme’s as close to a national anthem as we could get. It is, in my opinion, synonymous with hockey before any particular network.

My wife and I were out playing tourists on the weekend and while she’s pretty new to BC, I’ve been here my whole life and don’t have any real excuse for having never visited the “Birthplace of BC”, otherwise known as Fort Langley.

2 of last 3 seasons

Published by Jughead on Tagged Sports

Well, I guess boating season is coming sooner than later. 11 seconds ago the Canucks lost a “must-win” game which translates into missing yet another post-season run.

Damn for damn.

Finally, the wait is over

Published by Jughead on Tagged General

As many of you may have noticed over the past while, I have slacked in my regular post and even to the point of not updating my WP theme. To say I’ve been lazy does hold some merit, but like the rest of us, other priorities arose.

Anyway, WP 2.5 is installed and I’ll be updating the look/feel over the next little while.

Cheers my babies… off to eat some oatmeal!

Photo: Fence chains

Published by Jughead on Tagged Snap Shots

I just bought a new camera a month ago and got my first chance to get outside and use it.

In this photo, I’ve isolated the focus on the rusted chains by desaturating the background.
