Rogers is the devil. I have to say that this last week has proven one thing, that the company founded and run by Ted Rogers is a joke. One of the drawbacks in today’s world is that many people, such as myself, find our jobs completely dependent on reliable internet. If you have options, use them, Rogers isn’t worth it.
In other news, the Caledon Citizen ran the press release I put together for Tony Viola as a headline story in their Election 2006 subsection. The Enterprise continues to take their sweet time with things, as they are apt to do. If I was rich I think I’d start a paper solely for the purpose of putting the Enterprise under. Tony’s signs now litter my subdivision, which was a welcome surprise, but that doesn’t always equate to votes. I remain cautiously optimistic.
This weekend is the merger of Social Wars and Network Wars – Social Network Wars I. Folks will start to arrive later this afternoon and stay through Sunday night. Tomorrow morning we have a tour of King Brewery booked in Nobleton, a stunning microbrewery located only a short drive from my house. Utilizing the rare decoction method – commonplace in Germany but not in Canada – it takes more time to brew but the results are in the bottle. I’m looking forward to a chance to see it from the inside. Brewmaster Philip DiFonzo takes things so seriously he actually re-mineralizes distilled water to recreate Czech Republic water for his Czech-style Pilsner. For those unaware the only beers truly allowed to be called “pilsener” are those from that region of the Czech Republic where a specific local water creates the unique taste. So by matching the make-up of the water from a mineral level the King Pils becomes as close to the real thing as you’ll find in North America. No, sorry, Labatt Blue is not a pilsner. But then again nothing Labatt makes is anywhere close to true to style, including their pale lager Alexander Keith’s India Pale Ale.
The rest of the weekend will be gaming for the guys and Hostex for me on Sunday. My latest personal project will hopefully get a bit of a head start this weekend with some of the contacts I’ll make, but we shall see. Won’t be the first time I’ve hit roadblocks if things don’t work right.
Before I go, let us all thank Mark and Rob for their continued efforts and posts here as guest bloggers.
