My 5 Favourite Social Networking Websites
The internet has come a long way since my first experiences with it in the early nineties. When we first got the internet at my house, I connected through a 9600 Kilobaud modem, using something I barely remember called Winsock and browsed around using good ole’ Netscape Navigator 2.0. The net has gone from [...]
Stanley Cup Finals: Game 3 - Detroit Red Wings vs Pittsburgh Penguins - 5/28/08
Finally!!
Sidney is very close to living up to the unbelievable expectations placed on him since a very young age. One of the most inspired playoff performances I’ve seen in a while.
Ex-Leaf Hal Gill nearly blew it for them with his dumb penalties. He had been playing so well for the majority of the playoffs, [...]
Stanley Cup Finals: Game 2 - Detroit Red Wings vs Pittsburgh Penguins - 5/26/08
Are the Pens ever going to score a goal??
This is crazy! They have Crosby, Malkin, Hossa, Staal, Sykora . . . they should be able to put a few in the net.
Is it youth? Are they “just happy to be here”?
This is quite a big hill to climb. They better be better come game 3 [...]
7 Money Management Tips from a Guy Who Just Figured Out How to Manage His Money
Back in my late-teens and early-twenties, I got myself into a little bit of money trouble. At the time it seemed like a lot of money trouble, but now looking back, because the dollar amounts were low, it really was only a little. However, I still learned a lot about managing money the [...]
FOX Pundit Wishes for Obama Assassination, Laughs
Just another extremely distasteful comment from a FOX News pundit. Not only does she joke about his assassination being beneficial, she also gets his name mixed up with Osama’s.
Canada should feel proud we don’t have this kind of journalism.
Stanley Cup Finals: Game 1 - Detroit Red Wings vs Pittsburgh Penguins - 5/24/08
I’ve decided to do a 4-7 part series covering the Stanley Cup Finals here on Blog O’Blackmore. I feel this fits in well with the blog theme - anything I want. No fair and balanced reporting here; I’m cheering for the Pens. Despite living in Michigan for 2 years, and despite the fact that [...]
GASP! OH NO!
I’m just glad these hackers are on our side, and not the terrorists!

Biting The Bullet: 5 Reasons Why Arguing With Unruly Clients Will Get You Nowhere
I came across this list on Digg this morning; it’s from a blog called Freelance Folder, which looks like a fantastic resource for those “independent” types who can’t handle real jobs ;-) Despite the fact that I am not a freelancer, I do work in a sales office and deal with my share of [...]
Poor Dick Gaywood: Kicked Off Xbox Live Because His Real Name is Offensive
Richard Gaywood (his real name) has been kicked off Xbox Live because they have deemed his gamertag “RichardGaywood” to be offensive. While I find this to be hilarious, others have expressed concern over Microsoft’s arbitrary decisions on what is or is not offensive. The response from Xbox Live is below:

The Words Right Out of My Mouth: Netflix Introduces Unlimited Streaming Movies
An article on Ars Technica caught my eye at work this morning - it turns out Netflix has stepped up and is doing (almost) exactly what I said needs to be done in my post from 2 days ago and are the first one to allow unlimited movies for one low monthly fee!
Okay okay . [...]
