It’s happened again – a

It’s happened again – a major website has been hacked. It’s down right now, and no doubt when it goes back up it will be all fixed. But USA Today was hacked earlier tonight. I did some searching and found the following screen captures of the damage. Imagine how funny half this poop would be if the guy could type in English.



In other news, Comdex sucked. It sucked so bad it doesn’t deserve a link back. I want them to refund my TTC fare. I’ve been going to Comdex just about every year since I was about 20 or 21, back when it was a mammoth event taking up the convention centre and neighbouring buildings. Back when you left with bags full of stuff. This year, nothing. No big booths. No neat stuff. The entire thing looked like a mildly oversized conference room. Terrible. I feel sorry for anyone (like Veshka) that drove any distance to be there. Bah. (waves paw)

Today was Mary’s 33rd birthday

Today was Mary’s 33rd birthday – quite the cradle robber, me being 28 and all. We had a nice day, starting with a doctor’s visit for her (hehe..) and moving forward into a viewing of the lacklustre second edition of Men In Black and ending with dinner at Montana’s in Brampton. I think she had a good time and it was a big surprise to get my grandparents (Nan & Bumps .. that’s his name .. seriously ..) out of the house and to a restaurant.

Tomorrow is Comdex down in Toronto. Once, many moons ago, when I was the 20-year old “CEO and President” of my own company (hehe.. free pass!) Comdex was practically swag town – you could make out with bags of poop. Unfortunately, the last few years the best I’ve done was a bunch of pens, foam balls, and one Novell t-shirt for yelling “PIMP!” at their booth. They’ll be on to me this year, it will serve me no good to run around the booths yelling “PIMP!” at everyone. *sigh*

When it comes to certain wars in certain countries, with certain moronic reasoning and “logic” behind it, I say look to The Onion.
