After half a year happily at iValueHost.net... all my sites are now sitting on their brand new Red Isle Hosting server.

The server move went very smoothly... the Red Isle servers are set up solid. I hope to stay on this new server for the indefinete future.

Actually, not only did I do a move online... but I did an offline move as well. My fiance and I moved out to Stratford this month. (Boy do I hate moving furnature) But now that all the dirty work is done, hopefully I can do some more Weblog posting! =) (Bloggerman ain't dead yet!)

Check out this Shockwave file... it's got to be the most amazing Shockwave I've ever seen.

It speaks for itself!

Thanks, Miles

If you're like me and you like quirky and cool things, then you'll be interested in this. You can actually buy an acre of land on the moon!

I bought an acre of land myself - I forget the exact location of it... (my land deed and map are still packed away from the move) but it's somewhere in the Southern hemosphere.

Now, I know you're prolly thinking this is fake, but they say it's for real! Besides... even if it is fake... it's still a pretty cool thing to show your friends.

So if you're interested in owning a piece of the Moon, check out www.MoonLotsForSale.com.

It's been half a year since the launch of Petition Spot, and she's doing pretty good so far.

The petition count is over 650, the member count is over 600, and there has been over 70,000 signatures posted.

Recently, some excellent features have been added to the site. The most useful being a signature validation tool. When creating a petition, you have the option to turn on the "Validate Petition" feature.. this means that after a signature is posted, the signor is sent an email with a link, and the signor must click on the link to prove that their email address is a valid one, before the signature is posted to the petition. This will ensure that all signatures on a petition are valid - very useful for blocking spam.

A new round of updates is coming - I'll post again afterwards. In the mean time, feel free to create a free petition at Petition Spot.

There are some wicked television series on TV these days... but unfortunately they are scattered amoungst a lot of crap. It seems like every few months, television networks are trying to shove new shows down our throats. =( And to make room for these new crappy shows, they cancel good shows that just haven't caught on to enough people. For example, FOX replaced Greg the Bunny with Oliver Beene... I mean, come on - Greg the Bunny ran circles around that Beene crap. Anyways, that's aside my point - what I'm getting to, is that there's one television network that you can be asured that no crap will come from it - I'm talking of course about HBO.

Now, I've never actually been able to watch the HBO channel on television, but luckily other newtworks like Showcase or CTV will start showing re-runs of HBO series, and as the saying goes... if I haven't seen it - it's new to me!

Ever single HBO show that I've been able to watch has been wicked. Here are the ones I've seen and loved:The next show from HBO that's coming to Showcase is Da Ali G Show. With HBO's proven track record, I know it'll be a great show and I can't wait to see it.

You can buy HBO series on DVD here.
