So, I’ve been heavily neglecting this place lately, it would seem.  The software was out of date, the plugins were out of date, the content (obviously) was extremely out of date.  Yet the motivation to sit down and make a post (no idea what I would write) wasn’t all that… motivational.  Go figure that I would want to do something, until it actually came time to sit down and do it… when the motivation would basically vanish into thin air without any trace left behind, other than the fact that I vaguely remembered once having some motivation.
So we survived the Olympics here in the Lower Mainland.  I had actually written a post about it (several, in fact), but failed to finish them.  I think I might just follow up this post with what I had actually started to write, and just confuse the Hell out of the people who actually do manage to read this place.  How many of you are there, anyway?  Four?  But back on topic, yes we survived the Olympics, and are in the process of the Paralympics right now.  Tami, Amy and I headed downtown on the last Saturday before the Olympics closing ceremonies to catch some of the excitement and see a few of the “houses”.  While I was extremely impressed with the event as a whole, I was less than impressed with many of the Provincial Houses.  One would think that, in a world-wide event, a province would take the time to actually highlight the best parts of what they have to offer, yet many of them were nothing more than a open floor, or a bar, or an exclusive restaurant.  Sorry, I was more interested in seeing why I would want to visit your province… guess there’s nothing of interest there after all.  At any rate, things are done.  Once again, Vancouver was in the eyes of the World, and overall it was successful.
Heard some news that put me into a bit of shock the other day.  I guess overall, it hasn’t exactly been the best of weeks for some of my co-workers.  I won’t go into detail on any of it, as it’s not my place to do so… just want to remind everyone to take a few minutes to be thankful for the loved ones they have in their life… friends, family… things can change in a moment, and it’s not always planned or expected.  Though realistically, one planning for tragedy would be rather morbid.
At any rate, I think it’s time to just get this posted (with the half-post I did a few weeks ago) and head off to watch 24.  I’ll probably post again when I’m over on the Island, as it can get real boring over there… but for now, I suppose this is sufficient.
On one final, nearly missed thought… the site is now “Facebook Connect” enabled.  That means that by connecting this site to your Facebook, you will only have to login once to be a member of both sites.  Cool, huh?  You can see it in action over at Village Gamer as well, if you want to check the legitimacy of it prior to testing it out here.
And now, my ancient-and-not-finished-post… you should be able to tell just from the first sentence exactly how old the write-up actually is… but whatever.  Enjoy anyway. Read the rest of this entry »
