Matt Damon on Sarah Palin

Now I don't really want to get bogged down in the whole US political circus that's going to be going on in the coming weeks, here on this Blog. But Matt Damon came out yesterday with an on-camera piece that summed up a lot of the fears I have about the McCain/Palin ticket. Read more

Why the US election is sexier than Canada's

As if the news bulletins and morning news rags weren't already plastered enough with stories of the enthralling (tongue firmly planted in side of cheek) US Presidential race *go Obama*, Canada's embattled Prime Minister, Stephen Harper, came out yesterday and announced that Canadian's would also be going to polls, on October 14th.

Canada's Hockey Night in Canada Anthem Challenge

Australian Tourism - The Daft Things People Say

So this little ditty has been doing the rounds of the email circuit for a while now, so you may have already seen it before, but it's just so funny that I figure it's my duty to share.

When you're overseas you get asked the darnedest things by random individuals regarding the Australian way of life. You'd swear that some people think we are only just emerging from primitive times with some of the dribble they come out with. Read more

Take a good look at the geometric mess to the right and consider for a minute the sorts of feelings, emotions and inspirations that the logo evokes in your mind.

This is the primary symbol and marketing tool for the forthcoming 2012 London Olympics - unveiled yesterday, not surprisingly, to a chorus of condemnation. Read more

Craigslist Job Post Rebuttal - Love It!

Like millions of others out there, I keep an eye on job postings in my industry that are posted on a daily basis to ultra-popular lifestyle index "Craigslist". For those who don't know Craigslist (which will be most people in Australia because I don't think it has really taken off down there), is a basically designed local classifieds and forums site for over 450 individual cities worldwide. Vancouver, Brisbane, London, Los Angeles, Toronto, Amsterdam, Dublin and many more all have their own Craigslist sites featuring community topics like "lost and found" and "events" forums, housing classifieds, a comprehensive and handy "for sale" section as well as personals and a comprehensive forum area covering a stack of topics. Here in Vancouver, if you are looking to get a new room mate, sell an old TV or computer, or even someone to go running with on a Saturday morning, the standard thing to do is, "post something on Craigslist" - it's a pretty common thing to hear coming out of people's mouths.
