Holy Ginormous Gathering of Geekery, Batman!
…or, Jarret’s ComicCon 2009 report. ComicCon (formally known as the Central Canada Comic Con, or C4, clicky) has grown leaps and bounds the last few years, exploding out of the confines of the tiny Victoria Inn and onto the vast expanses of the Convention Center’s entire second floor. Much like last year’s ComicCon (clicky) the place was chock-a-block full of games, toys, demonstrations, artists, cars, and being that it was also Halloween, that meant scores of superheroes, video game characters, ...continue readingPractice makes perfect…

So what’s up? The Uncle Bill I refer to is none other than Bill Gates, founder of Microsoft, who, among IT circles and in organizations with a lot of Windows machines and servers, has been affectionately – or in a way with a lot ...continue reading‘No Doubt’ about it…

Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen PREMIERE!
So Steph and I got to go to the new Transformers movie on Monday night (THANK YOU ADAM WEST @ HOT 103!!). After 2 hours of waiting in line, we got our favorite seats (middle of the first row of the main deck), and settled in for the action!There were two people that dressed up in Optimus Prime and Bumblebee outfits. Pretty cool.Now, on to the movie.I was going to do a giant long review and talk about the whole story of the movie, but then I figured I'd let y'all see it first-hand.That being said, ...continue readingIt’s HERE!!
Finally… THE ROCK HAS COME BACK…
No, just kidding.
After a couple weeks of waiting and worrying, I finally got our picture of Stephanie and I meeting Nickelback.
Way cool.
Nothing much more to say about it – if you read my previous blog post about it, then you’ve got it all.
So, here’s the pic!
