My love-hate relationship with Twitter
2008-04-19 14:34:00 Blogs are funny that way. They’re a historical log of your thoughts and opinions over time. Except that sometimes, your opinions change, so it’s worth remembering to post updates. So here’s me making an update to a post dating back 6 months called “Someone Please Explain Twitter To Me” to state that i am still ... More About: Love , Relationship , Hate

2008-02-05 07:00:00 Oprah just can’t win As you know, i'm a strong supporter of Oprah. I think she's a smart, independant woman who has risen from a very difficult start, to a very influencial person in today's world. Am i proud of her because she's a woman? Sure, woman are very "patriotic" that way, we stand together because many, many women in our history have fought real hard More About: Links , Digg , 2008
Oprah just can’t win
2008-02-05 00:35:00 As you know, i’m a strong supporter of Oprah . I think she’s a smart, independant woman who has risen from a very difficult start, to a very influencial person in today’s world. Am i proud of her because she’s a woman? Sure, woman are very “patriotic” that way, we stand together because many, many women in our history have fought real hard to give us the standing we can enjoy in most of the Western world today. Seeing the situation of women in the Middle East and Africa makes this fact even more obvious. BUT, at the same time, i would respect anyone with a story like Oprah’s, somehow who started from an unpriviledged background to because one of the most suhaccessful people in their field. So why does everyone always come down so hard on Oprah? I’m sure she doesn’t need me defending her, but seriously, do we really enjoy criticising people who do well? You ask some people, and all they know of Oprah is some chat show host you went...

2008-02-01 07:00:00 Lost Secrets Revealed Tonight is the Lost Season 4 premiere, and so, i’ve spent some time watching recaps online (no, not spoilers, recaps)! It’s interesting what you realize when you watch a summarized version of the show. For example, on youtube, there’s an 8-minute video that summarizes Seasons 1-3, it’s awesome for someone who has actually seen the show... Quick thought… writers strike is good for politics In my job in marketing, i have to study the web traffic to our site. I’m sure at CNN they have an entire team working on analysis viewership rates… and i wonder if they’ll notice a drop in viewership today, seeing that the Lost season premiere is on.

2008-01-25 07:00:00 Notes on London I don’t really have much to report on London, since the few days i spent there were more about family then vacationing. A few observations though, as someone who left 7 years ago after having lived there 22 years. When i left, the labor government had just started making changes and nothing significant had yet happened. Now, 12 years into Celebrity Perfume Quick observation that made me crack up. So I’m sitting on the plane from Spain to London, and the cabin crew lady is telling us that, shortly, someone will be passing by to sell duty free items. So she wants to highlight what are some of the items available, and she says “we have a wide range of perfumes available”, and she starts Spain - travel blog - day 1 First full day in Spain. Late morning, by the time we were all ready it was 11.30am. Checked out the tiny local community, walked through the streets, walked on the beach, bought groceries.

2008-01-23 07:00:00 Heath Ledger Passed Away This is very sad, seeing a young life disappear before it gets a chance to fully grow. There was such promise in Heath Ledger’s career, you could tell this was an actor that would only get better as the years went by. I appreciate that he tried really hard to stay away from the typical teenage roles once he had gotten his foot in the door with US politics… like it or not, you gotta care This is really not helping the general US ego. They already think that the world revolves around them, and now, what sucks is that the world does actually revolve around the US. The way they talk about the elections (ok, granted, i’m in Canada, it’s hardly very far away) on TV, you’d think it was everyone’s elections. More About: Links , Digg , 2008
