Gadget: Pong Clock

This is really cool. It's a pong clock. The score is the time and when it's time to change the time, one of the paddles will miss the ball and the count/time will be ajusted. So cool!

Personal: Knee Dislocation

Ya, it sucks, ya it happens, ya I'm used to it. On a lighter note, we had our Christmas Party on Friday and it was a blast. My friend was the bartender and he did a great job. The place was amazing. We were at the Toundra hall on l'Ile Notre-Dame in Montreal. The view was amazing. You could see Montreal in all it's glory.

I would like to thank everybody who helped make this a great party!

Here is a photo from the Toundra

Joke: E-Baby

One day, a boy brought up in a computer-professionalInfo. Tech. family, asks his Dad, "Daddy, how was I born?"
His Dad thinks for a while, sighs and replies:
"Ah, my son, I guessone day you would have to find out anyway!Well, you see, your Mom and I first got together in a chat room onMSN. Then I set up a date via e-mail with your Mom and we met at a cyber-cafe.We entered into a secure folder, where your mother agreed to a downloadfrom my hard drive. As soon as I was ready to upload, we discovered thatneither one of us had used a firewall, but it was too late to hit the Deletebutton. Six weeks later, your Mom sent me an instant message saying thather operating system was showing signs of unauthorized program activityfrom a self extracting file which had implanted itself in her operating system.Then, nine months later, a little Pop-Up appeared and said: 'You've Got Male'!"

News: Children play deadly game in Nova Scotia town

Kids in Nova Scotia are now playing a game called the "Blackout Game". Basically you choke each other until you pass out, getting high by the lost of oxygen to the brain.

"They're blocking off the carotid arteries which supply blood to the brain," RCMP Sgt. Mike Bezanson told CTV News. "Of course, when you do that, the brain is starving for oxygen and blood, and it causes the individual to pass out."

Kids these days! Don't you have an XBox 360 to play with or something?

WTF!?: Sony In USB Porn

This is just not Sony's month. With everything happening with them; rootkit DRM fiasco, ramping up wholesale kit prices and now, porn on their sonystyle website. Yesterday, if you did a search for 'USB' on the site, you would get a list of USB devices, plus a nice little porn picture.

Music: Plumb

It's funny how you can forget really good songs. This morning I was just listening to random songs and I fell on the song Damaged by Plumb on the Brokedown Palace soundtrack. Wow, I totally forgot how this song is good. So I went digging a bit on the web, found the artist's website and been listening to her songs. Really good.

By the way, the Brokedown Palace soundtrack is a really good CD. Worth the buy.

Movie: Live Action "Cyborg 009"

This is great news. I've seen a couple of episode of this manga/anime at the 2003 Anime Expo in New York and it might seem like it's for kids, but in reality it's quite well written and entertaining. If done right, this could be a good movie.


Schedule to start filmin in 2006 and have the theatrical release in 2008.

TV: Terminator Series

Wow, I can't believe they decided to make a TV series out of this movie franchise. Now, don't get me wrong, if done right, this could be very interesting. Especially this part:

the show's producers said that a fourth Terminator is in development and that the series will have a link to what's being envisioned as a new feature trilogy.

Now the question is, is this going to be done right? Who knows, I wish it, but I doubt it.

Science: Natures Nuclear Reactor

It took humans until the 20th century to build a nuclear reactor. Mother Nature, on the other hand, built one that turned itself off and on, stored its waste, never threatened a meltdown—and did it 2 billion years ago.

Very cool.

Personal: Break

Updates will be sparse for the next couple of weeks. I need to take a break from everything.

Gérard Dépardieu Out Of The Movie Business?

That's what he said on the set of his last movie "Michou D'Auber".

He said, "I'm about to stop filming! I'm a guy that is leaving. And for once, I'm not drunk! I've got nothing to lose. I did 170 films, and I've got nothing else to prove. I'm not going to keep up like this for ever. I finish in style with film director Thomas Gilou, who has made lost of successes, and has made a really good film with this Michou D'Auber. I retire in style with this film. It's wonderful."

I have to admit, this is sad news indeed.
