Why English Is The Hardest Language
If you’ve learned to speak fluent English, you must be a genius!
Reasons why the English language is so hard to learn:
===================================
1) The bandage was wound around the wound.
2) The farm was used to produce produce.
3) The dump was so full that it had to refuse more refuse.
4) We must polish the Polish furniture.
5) He could [...]
Bad Behavior All Around
It never ceases to amaze me how much spam and garbage can hit your site. I have to give another shout out to Bad Behavior because since installing it on this site again, it has blocked more bots than I have had traffic! It keeps the amount that Akismet gets [...]
Finally Have My Domains Back
It took forever to get the .ca domains to provogate across the internet, but all of my domains are back on my server again. I am still running a couple of blogs on wordpress.com, but for some of my blogs I was getting close to violating the TOS and that would be bad, [...]
.com versus .ca domain changes
It never ceases to amaze me that I can change the name servers on my .com domains and they will be accessible in a matter of seconds. When it comes to my .ca domains, it seems that they might be accessible within 12 hours. It drives me insane and I really [...]
Motivation Is Everything
Mark had a great post about motivation and had some great insights on working for yourself. I agree with him completely and even commented as follows:
You hit the nail right on the head. Successful people (not just monetary either) are people who are self-motivated. You will never be wealthy unless you are [...]
Next Of Kin
Just like writing a will, no one wants to have to visit their own mortality, but everyone must. It is really important that we write a will and have on paper what we want the world to know is our final wishes. It makes both property and personal issues go [...]
A Little Confusing Again!
Some of you might be visiting this site again and wondering what is different? Well first off, the theme is back to Binary Moon again for this site and the forum. Second of all, it is now self-hosted again. I have some ideas for this site again with bbPress [...]
Bush Sings “Sunday Bloody Sunday”
Matt actually put this link out back on April 28th, but I had to laugh and post it again!

Snap Preview: Love it or Hate it?
Not sure what I am talking about? Hover your mouse over the following link:
Onvertigo Forums
It is something that people either love or hate. There is nothing in between. It is a useful tool in seeing a preview of the link before actually going to it, but is [...]
Playing Flash In Quicktime
Just a quick note that I found a great thing called Perian that allows you to play Flash and FLV format in Quicktime natively. It also supports:
Requirements: Mac OS X 10.4.7 because 10.3 makes the iceweasel cower in fear.
Installation Tip: Please consider removing obsolete QuickTime Components.
Perian enables QuickTime® application support for additional Media Types [...]
The World Needs More Hugs
Really, everyone needs a hug now and again. From the smallest and most fragile baby to the ‘rough and tough’. It is proven (somewhere I would imagine) that the world would be better off with more hugs. Here is my proof

Facebook Is Scary….
I am really new to Facebook and have avoided it because of all the ‘classmates.com’ sites of the world that spam me to death. I was pleasantly surprised that Facebook.com really is about keeping a visual list of people that you know and keeping in touch in a world that is electronically beyond [...]
See You At The Show
I remember the days when I used to watch Nickelback play almost every other weekend before they made it big starting with their wicked hit “Leader of Men”. I was spoiled back then not even knowing that they grew up close to me and that they would reach international stardom. [...]
Bad Day For Grain Markets
Most of the readers of this website will most likely not really care about the following entry, but I thought that I would give you an idea of the things I look at all the time. Today was the release of the crop plantings intentions from the USDA. It [...]
Habari Developer Release
Since it has been out for 2 hours, I decided to give Habari a go since their developer release has been out for a couple of hours! Owen and Skippy were busy all day anyways!
http://bbqpress.com/ and http://forkpress.com ! Way to funny Owen!
The show “stopper” really was the install though when I came across [...]
