I have my little Christmas tree glowing happily away on my desk at work now. With just under 4 weeks to go till Christmas, I figure it’s probably time to start getting into the spirit of the season. I’m thinking one of these might also look cute sitting next to my tree. I still think $12.99 is a little pricey though.
How Canadian are you?
Take the test and see how Canadian you are.
I scored 92, which makes me a
Member of Parliament
Congratulations! You scored 92!
You may very well be one of the Founder’s of Confederation. You’re proud of the True North Strong and Free, you can drink beer with the best of ’em! You follow hockey like a religion and may actually have your name etched on Lord Stanley’s grail. You can tell the difference between a moose and a caribou at 100 metres and if we looked we’d probably find a maple leaf tattooed somewhere on your body.
The questions are pretty easy. If you really are Canadian, you ought to be pretty embarassed if you score less than 90.
Geek toys
Oh, I like this. Still planning on getting the binary clock from ThinkGeek one of these days, but a binary watch would be even geekier. I want one…

No more Friday Fives
Sadly, there will be no more Friday Fives. The maintaner is calling it quits. I suppose when something stops being fun for you, you might as well stop doing it. I hadn’t been doing them for very long, but enjoyed the ones that I did do. Thanks for the fun, FF.

This is the end of the Friday Five. I know most of you have seen this coming and I appreciate you humoring me. I haven’t enjoyed it for some time now and because of that I can no longer justify the bandwidth. I’m not going to give it away or sell it or bring anyone on to help; Two-and-a-half years is a good run. Let’s let it go.
Thank you to everyone who has participated over the past 2+ years, for taking this silly little idea and running with it. Thanks again to the donators for their generosity and thoughtfulness, and those of you who have emailed me notes of support and encouragement over the last few months.
The notify list will remain as-is, just in case. The archives will remain down since that’s where most of the bandwidth suck has been. Globe of Blogs is not going anywhere, so get your blog listed if you haven’t already.
