Mike sent me a link to this today and man some of these products really make you scratch your head…  Anyway here’s a link to the 15 most stupid products of all time.

Fun

Heh I saw this video and just had to post it, it’s too damn cute!

LOL spoiler I don’t care but anyway yeah it’s pretty funny to see that the big cats act like the little ones. :)

Fun

So I’ve been bombarded with messages and calls from everyone asking if Brandon has been born yet and to answer that…  No.  Maggie’s cervix is not ready yet (went to the doctor’s a few hours ago) so he’s definitely going to be late.  Oh well that’s alright haha it doesn’t affect me much but I know Maggie is tired of being pregnant. ;-)

Had a busy weekend, lots of places to go to on Saturday and on Sunday Maggie and I took her mom to African Lion Safari and it was fun.  Took a bunch of pictures, yeah I took a picture of the traffic jam going into the park and then of a car that broke down in the drive through section.  Heh good thing the dude was in the ostrich section and not the deadly cats.

Anyway yeah if there’s news I will post it. :)

Fun, Personal Stuff

I had a busy long weekend, I hope yours was enjoyable as well.   On Friday I helped my dad pick up some Japanese Maples that he ordered, now that I have a hatchback I guess I’ll be helping people move lots of stuff now lol.  I also went for Pho with Stephen and Helene, I wasn’t too hungry at the time but I wanted to drop off the stuff Stephen and I ordered from HK.

Saturday night I went to play a night game hosted by Chris and Tom and it was a lot of fun.  Even though I’d prefer to simply be a player I was in command of the coalition forces.  It was fun even if we were outnumbered most of the night, we played quite well as a team and were able to achieve most of our objectives.  LOL things got easier when Brian (who was playing on the other team) and Tyson left as the other side no longer had any leaders and the other side did not play as much as a team.

Team picture before the game. :-)

Finally yesterday I didn’t really do much, went to get the car washed and mainly relaxed at home.  Was a bit sore from the night game but I’m 100% now and could do another one.

Airsoft, Fun

Yeah it’s been more than a few days since the last post, things are going well. :)  Nothing much to report honestly, I’m filling my time with a lot of videogames (GOW 3) and airsoft on the weekends.  Looking forward the night game on Saturday, it’s going be damn tiring but woo first night game of the airsoft season.

Maggie is having fun in China though she says it’s cold in her city, heh I’m glad she took the cold weather with her because it’s beautiful in Toronto. :D

I guess that’s all I have to say for now, I’ll report back later…

Airsoft, Fun

To everyone out there (Asian or not lol) I’d like to wish you a very Happy New Year! :)

Oh yeah and Happy Valentine’s day too. Almost forgot about that one…

Fun

Was sent this and I have to say it’s pretty damn cool.  It’s hard to believe that this dude’s Canon Digital Rebel XT could survive a 3000′ fall but apparently it did.

Trying to keep it short: I sold my first DSLR (Rebel XT) to my buddy from Florida who happens to be a skydive instructor. He used it mounted on his helmet to shoot skydivers in a free fall. The mounting plate detached when he opened his chute and both cameras (photo + video) took a fall from approximately 3000 ft. Amazingly, the Rebel survived the fall and my friend is still using it to this very day. It has a crack in the plastic body and the kit lens is a little jerky when zooming, but functional. I’d like to know if there is a similar story or something close to this but I doubt. It might me a world record indeed (for the height of a camera drop which survived). Kudos to canon!

Makes me feel better about my XTi. :D Anyway apparently there’s a video too which will be updated later, I can’t wait to see that!

Fun

Istvan sent me this and I just have to blog about it, it’s so damn cute! :D

Fun

Maggie and I spent our first Halloween in the house at home and I have to say I had an absolute blast.  It was nice to see the kids and families in the neighborhood come around and we got to meet a lot of our neighbors.  Heh I put on an OD face mask and my ghillie and lol many of the kids were afraid.  The parents absolutely loved it and many commented that it was a great costume though I think I may have really startled the little ones…

Oh well it was all done in good fun, I can’t wait till next year’s Halloween, going to really do it up. :-)

Fun

After putting off assembling the furniture Maggie and I bought from Ikea last weekend I decided to tackle it today, no more excuses I guess since it’s the weekend. Anyway after ~4 hours (yeah I’m not that handy) a dinner table, six dining chairs and a small shelving assembly have been put together. =D

I’m not a fan of Ikea stuff but at least the things we bought are made  of real wood instead of that particle board crap. Anyway I think the main floor of the house is mainly done, you think it’d be too early to tell Maggie I want to set up a gun wall in my armoury? ;-)

Fun
