Oh Happy Day

Shipping Details

Apparently it's widget week here on mennoboy. Anyway, that little picture implies that my new MacBook Pro is somewhere in the city on a truck anxiously waiting to get to it's new home - aka my desk at work.

Theresa Sokyrka Concert




Theresa Sokyrka Concert, Originally uploaded by iChris.

As part of Sue's birthday present (big 30 next week!) I took her to the Theresa Sokyrka concert on Saturday night at the Broadway Theatre. Sue really enjoyed it, as did her parents who came along. I'm not a huge fan of her music but she does have a great voice that sounds a lot better in person than on her CDs, as is often the case with singer/songerwriter types. Her and her drummer and bass player seemed to be having a good timing playing together which is the main thing, I suppose. Claiming Radiohead as her favorite band seemed a bit odd, given the easy listening type of music she puts out - but her cover of 'Lucky' was decent enough.

Played on radio earlier today. On the internet a few hours later. http://download.yousendit.com/456BE4F817819500.

There's some interference/noise/other music at the beginning. They begin saving the world around the 1:30 mark.

Google video now has free NHL games that you can watch or download to your iPod/mobile device. Go and check out your favorite team's game. The quality isn't amazing, but it is free (so far). And they have "classic" games as well.

Robots In Disguise

Ultimate Transformers costume. If I didn't know any better, I'd have sworn this was Mark's costume. :)

Comments from digg:
Comment 1 - Can he go through doorways?
Comment 2 - So is this guy stuck in the room?
Comment 3 - No, this guy is stuck in his parent's basement.
