Happy Birthday Canada4Life!
Canada4Life.Ca turned five years old yesterday, and I almost didn’t even notice. I only realized it because I was talking to someone about Rant & Roar and how long the forum has been running. I guess I should have clued in that the anniversary was coming up, because I renewed the domain a few days ago. It’s not really something I pay much attention to. And I guess maybe I should. The site’s come a long way since it’s Geocities days.

I was stumbling around the internet today and clicked a link that brought me to bitter-girl.com It’s a blog from someone I don’t know. Anyway, I thought her blog post for 16th September was interesting. The idea is you type the letters of the alphabet in your browser’s address bar and post the first url that auto-completes.

New Phone
I got a new cell phone the other day. I’ve had some trouble with my phone for a while now. The battery wasn’t holding a charge for very long, and then eventually it wouldn’t charge at all. I works if I charge it through the second charging port in the bottom of the phone, but not the usual port, and the battery needs replacing. I went to a Telus store when I was in Calgary and they told me that if I was less than one year into my contract they would just replace the battery free of charge, but I was past that deadline. I found out later that I was only two days past the deadline. 
I went to a Telus store when I got back to Kelowna and talked to someone there who told me it would be about $115 to replace the battery, and I still would have to use the second charging port which I only have a car charger for. So I’d have to buy a wall charger too. Which would cost me over $30. So I just said the hell with it and bought a new phone for $150. It’s a nice phone, but it doesn’t have any newer features than my last phone. That’s ok though. I just need a phone, not a phone/camera/mp3 player/whatever else.
It’s an LG 210. Here’s a picture I found on the net.

Rant & Roar Finally Updated
Well I finally got my website’s forums updated. Actually, they were updated last Thursday, and I’m just posting about it now. I didn’t get them updated as soon as I got home from Vancouver like I had hoped, because I made an unplanned trip to Calgary with my parents. I’m still working on setting up the Canada4Life shirt sales, and I’m updating a few other pages on Canada4Life.Ca. You can check Canada4Life.Ca’s “What’s New” page for details on that.

In Vancouver
Hey all. I’m posting from Vancouver. I’m at my friend Chris’s house just waiting for him to come home from work. I’m in Vancouver for the Great Big Sea concert tonight in Stanley Park. It should be great. I’ve seen them in concert once before when they were in Kelowna, and it was awesome. I think I like them better live. I have all their CD’s and the live one is really good.
I was just reading my last blog post and decided that I better get my ass in gear and finish updating Rant & Roar. I’ve been working on it quite a few times, but I have’t spent very long periods of time working on it. I would do it right now, but all the files I need are stored on my computer at home. Hopefully I’ll finish that up within a couple days of getting home. There’s really very little left to do.
I’m also hoping to get something set up on the site to sell Canada4Life clothing sometime very soon. I know I already posted about it, and the site says they’re coming soon, but it’s been too long already. I want to get that up and running sometime this week. I’m hoping the sale of Canada4Life.Ca clothing will help promote the site, and help pay for the hosting.
Anyway, I’m going to see if I can find something to do. I’ll post more about the concert later. Probably not until I get home, because I don’t know if I’ll be online again before that.
