While cleaning up the harddrive I bumped into a couple of old RAM files. Most of them were snippets of old recordings, once used for a webpage from the olden times. Some of them were of pretty good quality, actually … Continue reading

You’ve got a new name!
AOL Time Warner is planning to ditch the AOL in their name. So does this mean that the executives finally admit that the whole merger was a big mistake, I wonder. The funny thing is that it appears to be … Continue reading

Your Canadian idol
Canadian Idol, naturally, smashed Canadian records. The 2 hour sitcom show will probably make into today’s hot topic of the day, most likely replacing regular number one topic, the nation’s weather (Calgary = snow!, Ontario = Isabel). The Globe has … Continue reading
