Talk about extremes. A couple of weeks or so ago I was talking about the dear little penny. Well, about as far away from that as you can get is the million dollar coin. Yep, turns out the Royal Canadian Mint made five of these gigantic coins in May 2007.… Continue reading
Does someone not want me to watch television anymore? First Law & Order, the original and best in my opinion, gets cancelled just before it breaks the record of 20 years for longest running prime time drama, and now some pretty disturbing cast changes are being made on another favourite,… Continue reading
I went searching for any kind of update on Tilikum, wondering if any changes were in the offing regarding whales in captivity. I found little new about Tilikum himself, but did learn that, “Two killer whales at SeaWorld Orlando are pregnant, with one due in a matter of weeks. SeaWorld… Continue reading

The Terrestrial Shrub Rover was designed and built by New York-based artist Justin Shull, “whose… Continue reading
Even though it has yet to be released, the WePad I wrote about a month ago has been renamed. Why is it that names seem to be such a focus when it comes to these tablet computers? First we had all the jokes about feminine hygiene products and Apple’s name… Continue reading
Last I checked, more than 27,749 people have said they “like” the Facebook page, Save Law & Order! It’s heartening that the number continues to grow. It would sure be great if Law & Order could also go down in the history books as being another show saved from cancellation… Continue reading
