Facebook Spam

Today is Boxing day here in Canada, the day after Christmas. I opened up my Facebook account and was delighted to see a new message. But this wasn't just any message, this one was from some gal named Vicky Goodwin.

Here's what her message said,



So there's Vicky. She wants to chat with me on some other site because she can't on Facebook, isn't that nice. Lets go check out Vicky's Facebook page:



Well there's absolutely nothing useful on that page, not even a wall I can write some comments on. Seems like this Vicky gal is a bit strange. WAIT even better, she's from Toronto, Ontario, United States... Wait that's where I live. Oh, but no. I live in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Toronto, Ontario, United States is what Stephen Harper is trying to make us into.

What a terrible advertisement. Vicky isn't real. Most likely it's some 40 year old fat guy, hired by Stephen Harper, trying to get unsuspecting Facebookers to join a stupid site called Friend Jungle.

Nice try Friend Jungle, next time get Stephen Harper to send me a message on Facebook, maybe then I'll join.

Bear Grylls is Back!

Fresh off the U.S Discovery Channel's website, Man vs. Wild Season 3 starts November 9th, 2007. Very exciting information for all the Bear fans out there.

More news about Mr. Grylls. There is an unofficial Man vs. Wild website, manvswild.com, but it's a piece of junk. Not a single bit of useful information.

For example on their site they say, "For any of you wondering which survival knife Bear Grylls uses and where you can get one, head over to the Navy SEALS website and pick up the SOG SEAL Pup Knife. The SOG SEAL Knife is one of the few survival knives that's available to the public used by Bear Grylls in Man vs Wild."

FYI, the SOG Seal Pup isn't the only knife Bear Grylls uses. He has used a Wenger Swiss Army knife, Gerber Gator and his very own Bear Grylls Knife (made by Britain's Bayley Knife). All of which are available to the public from various websites.

That's all.

Neill Blomkamp is the Bestest

Neill Blomkamp, for anyone who doesn't know, is a wicked Canadian director who has made lots of great shorts. Alive in Joberg, Tetra Vaal and Tempbot are just three of a bunch.

More recently Blomkamp has made all of the Halo shorts. Arms Race (HD), Combat: Part 1 (HD) and Combat: Part 2 (HD). He has made a few others but these ones are my favourites.

For these shorts Weta Workshop made a scale, fully working Warthog. It's a real thing of beauty. Head to halo.bungie.org and you can see some good behind the scenes stills from Combat or watch this clip from College Humor where some of the Weta guys are driving the Warthog.

I'm EMPLOYED

I am now officially employed by Global Media Agency to do graphic design, animation and film editing.

My blog is working!

Well more important than the blog working was getting it to match the rest of my site. I don't know anything about "templates" but it seems to have worked out in the end.

Test time, is this working?

If I can read this I suppose that it is up and running.
