Hijack Attempt Foiled

December 28, 2006 · Filed Under Current Events · Comment 

Some drunk guy tried to hijack a Russian plane, and was subdued by the other passengers.

“The Itar-Tass news agency said an unidentified man who was drunk picked a fight with two other passengers, threatened the crew and demanded the aircraft alter its course.”

I’m guessing it was just some idiot who had too much to drink and didn’t know what he was saying or doing.

You think they’ll make it into a TV movie? :lol:

Christmas

December 26, 2006 · Filed Under Personal · Comment 

Oh, speaking of Christmas, I had a pretty good one. I spent it with my parents and my brother Lyle, and his girlfriend. I got a couple of really cool gifts and a few much needed ones. Like clothes and such.

Ok, I’m off to bed. I’ll post more later.

Setting up geocaches

December 26, 2006 · Filed Under Geocaching · Comment 

I haven’t posted for a fews days because I’ve been busy with Christmas stuff and I’ve been setting up geocaches with Roger. If you haven’t heard of geocaching check out geocaching.com. I guess you could say it’s my new hobby. Roger introduced me to geocaching quite a while ago, and now I’m hooked. We decided to set up our own caches here in Kelowna for people to find. So far we’ve set up four of them between the two of us. There are more to come. Actually, since I’ve been busy with Christmas stuff, and geocaching, and then work, I’m pretty worn out. I’m hoping to get some much needed sleep today. I’m so glad tonight’s my last night working this week. I’m exhausted right now. Plus I want to get out into the bush and do some more geocaching. :-)

Murder suspect caught thanks to YouTube

December 21, 2006 · Filed Under Current Events · Comment 

Well it seems YouTube is good for something other than posting mindless videos and clips recorded from TV. I just read an article about police in Hamilton posting a video of a murder suspect on the site, and because of the publicity the guy turned himself in. I think that’s a great way of getting the public’s help. I wonder if other police departments will start doing the same thing since it’s apparently very effective.

Music video

Speaking of music videos (in my last post), here’s a video I found on a local forum I post at. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ca1mYDnbwRE I really like it. I’ve tried to download an MP3 copy of it, but so far haven’t been able to find one.

Wasting my money?

December 19, 2006 · Filed Under Of Mice and Cats · Comment 

Hey all. I was talking to my friend Roger a couple weeks ago about my blog. He posted a really cool music video in his blog and that got me thinking that I don’t post on here enough. I guess anyone who reads this page already knew that, including him. ;-) Anyway, I’m starting to think I’m wasting my money on hosting and domain costs for this site since it’s just sitting here. So with that in mind I’m going to try really hard to start posting on here on a daily basis. I know I’ve said it before, but this time it’s serious. :-)
