• WWE's Trish Stratus and Lita stopped by the All New Comics booth today. They both look great for retired gals #
• Awesome to see Loc, Liam and Kate last night. So many great memories, and such a talented group. #
• I smiled at him and laughed a little bit, thinking he was kidding. So then he gives me big mad eyes, and starts strangling his bag. CRAZY! #
• Ran across a street to make a light, dude stepped in front of me, I stopped short, he gave me crazy eyes, and air punched with elbows. WTF? #
• Going to Yonge and St Claire to meet up with Liam, Loc and Kate. TSN super skillz squad UNITE!!! #
• At Fan Expo Canada, and Scott Pilgrims are flying off the shelf! Unfortunately we're in a bit of a comics ghetto. #
• WOO HOO! My Kindle should be arriving early next week! #
• The downside to falling asleep with Maks and Kaylin at 9 last night? I was up at 5am unable to stay sleeping. #
• Them – The site isn't remembering me
  Me – Are you logged in?
  Them – No, do I need to be?
  Me – (facepalm) It would probably help. #
• I spend more time figuring out how people do things wrong than I do actually fixing problems. Sort of an unending (facepalm). #
• Regarding accusations that Team Ninja is exclusionary. Ninjas are forged in coding battles, we bled, fought, won and lost together. #
• Maks fell asleep in his high chair. Char out to a movie. Time for a little Kaylin / Daddy Little Big Planet #
• There are not enough hours in the year to fix all of the bad websites out there! #
• In 5 years Scott Pilgrim will be hailed as brilliant filmmaking, but it's a movie that will struggle to find an audience. 2010's 12 Monkeys. #
• I have purchased a half dozen TV shows on iTunes and only watched them once. .99 per episode seems right. Make it happen and I'll buy more! #
• These rumours of a $99.00 Apple TV make no sense. Apple isn't able to make cheap products. Even $199 is unlikely (I'd buy one though). #
• Wanna watch the "upstanding citizens" install their webcam (using a car as a ladder). Live on Ustream. http://ustre.am/9A47 #
• The drug dealers errr, I mean "upstanding citizens" at 466 Adelaide are installing a USB webcam on their rear door. GENIUS! #
• Twitter took down their API for 10 minutes today resulting in login pages on hundreds of sites. Awesome work Twitter!!! #
• I love my kids, but the post dinner jumping off the walls drives me a little insane. C says I'm a mean dad, but it literally causes me pain. #
• Read Scott Pilgrim 1 and 2 this weekend. Fun, but the main character's kinda a dick. #

• Ninjas don't update statuses! #
• Pssst, little green crusaders…a high speed train won't solve all problems, will just increase sprawl. Work/live solutions solve problems. #
• Left my MacBook at work. Tonight I have to use my Windows 7 laptop. I threw up a little bit in my mouth just now. #
• Pre-buying tickets on a Tuesday is a must. At 6:45 all movies for tonight are sold out. Luckily I bought last night! #
• I feel a little bit like the Internet is in reruns today. Might actually have to turn on a TV! #
• I hate playing golf on really nice sunny days anyway! The soothing sounds of UPS alarms are way better! #
• Hey Infrastructure guys, why not carpool with me for golf day, what can possibly go wrong? Power outage, now I'm at work. Awesome! #
• Book March 2011 boys…looks like we're going to Toronto to watch some UFC fights!!! #ufc #

Bruce Wayne the Road Home

It’s August, so if you’re like me, you’re planning for your son’s birthday, your anniversary, your own birthday, and your wife’s birthday…which all fall in October.

No?  Just me then?  Okay, well then you’re probably thinking about the wonderful new comics that will be released in October (which we need to get pre-orders for in at All New Comics really quickly).

Here’s a bunch of stuff that looks really good for October 2010.

• Picking up the new hotness (a 2009 Honda Fit) at London Honda @hondaguy #
• Saw The Other Guys last night, fun comedy with Will Farrell's best recent performance. End credits brilliant! http://bit.ly/ank3ig #
• Walked into my house to a scene from The Exorcist. Cleaning up puke is good fun!!! #
• Wonder if my adjuster at TD Meloche Monnex got fired and that's why she won't respond to me? #
• To make up for it I'm going to do a 1hr website design, and maybe write something…and no, I'm not taking requests #
• I had a pretty craptacular day today. Got some bad (but frankly expected) news, was disappointed by stuff, and had to deal with stuff. #
• Team Ninja came in 3rd place. Still good money for a couple days work. #
• Today is going to go either spectacularly well, or dreadfully wrong. Should be exciting either way! #
• I just threw out my back…by getting in my car.

  FML. #

• Bought a 2009 Honda Fit today, now I'm just waiting for my insurance cheque so I can go pick it up! #

• I think it's down to either the 2009 Honda Fit Sport (5 speed manual transmission), or the 2009 Honda Civic. Test drive Monday. #
• Nice work Mazda, your website is still all Flash, no iPhone support. Is this 2005 still? #
• Just got pooped on by a bird. Kaylin said "They say bird poop is good luck." . Pretty wise for 4 years old. #
• Good night Maksie, I love you.
  I wauve you daddy.

  Favourite moment of the day (and this was a pretty good day). #

• We rocked our presentation. So did the other teams, so we'll know on Wednesday if we made top 4. Good luck Info-Techies!!! #
• We made it to the final! Now for our final presentation. Congrats to all the teams who participated! #
• The antici……pation is killing me. I don't want to live in a world where we aren't top 4. #
• I'm running on about 2 and a half hours sleep right now. It's done though. Now to present. #
• What's a jobscriber anyway? #
• Yo! Info-Techies, how are you doing out there? We're trying to get some friendly back and forth going, but it's crickets. Holla!!! #
• Oh crap. I just made a small suggestion, and the team went ahead and did it. Now our case competition project is even BETTER. I'm Sorry. #
• Dear Info-Tech Case Competition Judges: Please wear garters for our 8:50am Friday presentation, your socks will be blown off. #
• Goal for tonight: Framework complete, template done, financial projections, and a fully operational Death Star. This thing is in the BAG! #
• Just signed up our first strategic partner for our case competition. We're only 3 hours in! #
• Our Case Competition entry just signed up its first client. How's yours going Info-Techies? #
• Does anyone else notice that their iPhone 3GS runs quite a bit warmer after the iOS4 upgrade? Battery seems to drain faster now too. #
• 48 hours after the accident and I suddenly feel like I was hit by a truck. Hands are good (finally), back and side are sore. #
• Car shopping sucks. The one I want (Dodge Challenger) is silly and impractical. The rest are all varying degrees of meh. #

• Talking about our days, Maks said: "Daddy's tars bwoken. Wheel bwoke. Daddy hurt hand."
  Such a smartie pants. #
• Web launch success! Yay team! #
• Looked into a Dodge Challenger just now. $187 bi-weekly, and my insurance will be $97.00 a month ($3.00 more than I pay now). #
• Now for a lovely cool summer post car totaling accident stroll. What a gorgeous night! Feels great to be alive! #
• Hmm, is this the gods telling me to buy a Challenger, or do I get another Accent? #
• Just got t-boned. My car is dead, I am fine #
• 75 Years of DC Comics looks great. 11" by 16" and at 720pgs, where would I put it? http://bit.ly/cPqQjd #
• 5'6" Adrian just upgraded his ticket to get "extra legroom"…wonder if he realizes that it doesn't mean they'll lengthen his legs? #
• One of my biggest beefs with Comic Con was the lack of digital comics news from @graphicl.y, @panelfly or @comixology at #sdcc #
• Inception was mind blowingly awesome. Best movie of the year, maybe last few years! #
• I've been screamed at, slapped and puked on (2 of the 3 offences have resulted in time outs), an averageday at the office for Char. #
