It's sad times when our federal government cuts funding to culture. Sad times indeed. I want an accountable local government, who has plans in place to protect our environment. I'd make a short film about our government "boys club" here in PEI, but I don't have the funding to make the film!! Sarcasm aside, there needs to be some radical changes made by government here soon.
Legislation must be put in place to stop the use of pesticides. Prince Edward Island is more than a big supplier of French fries. It all sounded great in the 80s when everyone quit high school to get a job at "the plant". Yes business is booming! But what about 20 years later when the kids in the 90s stayed in school, graduated, got secondary educations, moved away, learned about life elsewhere, moved back, and took a big look at the way things are run around here, and know it's time to make some hefty changes or watch as our Island's CANCER treatment center gets expanded.
I'm sorry to offend potato farmers here, but there has to be measures put in place to sustain an industry without spraying toxic chemicals to both control pests, and to "KILL" the plants at harvest time. YUMMM!!! I'll have a toxic shake with my fries, thanks.
It's time to separate the business from the family. Islanders get their knickers in a knot when they think of poor family farms going under, but it's a damn business. If your business is failing you get into another business. Quite simple really. Hey how about getting into organic farming? That would boost our tourism and our immune systems at the same time!
My uncle died of a cancerous brain tumor. My brother had leukemia. As a child, spray planes used to fly directly over our house, spraying the fields above and below my parents property. The planes didn't really even get a chance to shut the spray off as they crossed the highway up over the electric lines and our house, and then plummeted again into the next field. I remember once as a child seeing a plane that had crashed into a nearby barn. Now I look back and think, good that was one less plane polluting.
My bicycle and any of my toys left outside was found covered in tiny dots. Tiny colorful magical toxic chemicals. A wonderful way to grow up. Yes this is our Gentle Toxic Island.
Gear up everyone and get ready for the best time of the year in PEI. The menu for Fall Flavors this year consists of a heavy dose of toxic spray on all those yummy potato fields. If your a tourist, you might be stupid enough to go picking potatoes after the toxic dump. But Islanders know you don't even have to go into the fields to enjoy it, living a mile or so away from any potato field will let you enjoy the poison without even leaving your yard.
Don't even get me started on lawn pesticide use. Well that can be explained by lower than average IQs. They likely had a good dose of poisoned water as a child so can they really be blamed?
Top selling app for iPhone created in Charlottetown
8/27/2008 8:15:00 AM
Gordon, a friend of mine, was the programmer of Super Monkey Ball for iPhone. No one in PEI, even knows that one of the top selling apps for the iPhone was created here in PEI...not even our local Rogers retailers who are selling the phones.
Exciting things are getting developed here, it may take awhile for the majority of PEI residents to clue in...but there is a quiet movement of tech based businesses who are doing world class projects here in little ole Charlottetown.
I've worked with Gordon on a few projects in the past and he has mad skills. Congrats, on making such a successful fun app!
I was watching the new Sketch-22 DVD on Thursday night while selling merch for Sketch, and it's an awesome collection of some of my favorite sketches. The official release party was last night.
I forgot how much I loved the country rendition of "the right wrong way", and skate country "AMADEUS AMADEUS, AMADEUS, AMADEUS!!! and rolll up the rigggg, even though, it's quite disturbing when you see it the first time, it has lines that I wait for, and crack up over. "she hasssss cancerrrrr. she dieeddd. gimme little bit of pop."
The new DVD has sketches from the 3rd and 4th seasons, where many characters were introduced or expanded from previous seasons like "the tammys".
I have to buy copies for some friends from the island who live "away" now. I can't believe Candace and Sandra have never seen this show.
something old something new something lost something donair
8/11/2008 5:57:00 PM
I met lots of new and interesting people this weekend at Donovan and Laura's wedding.
High points: Jeff and I took John, from Phoenix, out for his very first donair...for breakfast. We explained that the super donair weighed about the same as a small baby...or chihuahua. He was ready to become a little more east coast. Let's just say he wasn't ready to eat through the pain, like most of us from here have learned by nature or perhaps genetics, to do. Of course, I also know when enough is enough, so the small was enough. The super donair at Jack's can feed 5 adults. Not kidding.
Watched two wonderful people in love exchange their vows at a sunny countryside setting.
Danced all night while Jesse from Reticent Recordings dj'd. Thanks man you rocked it.
Low points: Lost my scarf. I'll have to replace it with this one.
Ran into people I no longer have any use for. Yes, taking stock happens every decade or so, and there are some people who somewhere along the way, became self centered and judgmental. You realize they are just poison to be around. I never used to have that reaction, I was always the diplomat, trying to get along with everyone. But the older I get, the less tolerant I get for *arseholes. *To use an expression of my Dads. Going on your separate ways can be the best way forward sometimes, that and appreciating all the new friends that have filled in for the old.
Apple needs to work out some issues with bluetooth on the iPhone. I haven't been able to connect to any cell phones, it just searches for signals and cacks out.
A friend of mine in Toronto just bought a jawbone headset to use with his iPhone and can't get it to work either.
I like to send messages and pics via bluetooth. I don't know why it's just a back door way of sending info I suppose.
But until he mentioned this to me, I didn't think that there was likely something wrong with the software. Funny how we assume user error first rather than assuming that the software needs a patch.
Some forums online mention that users can't share files etc using bluetooth, and not all headsets can be paired. Fix bluetooth Apple!

For your mathly addictions. My java calculator...(You need the Java Plug-in to view.) Psst...try dividing by zero, I think I handled that quite nicely. ;) Check it...
How do you become a geek you ask? Hmmm. I dunno. All I can tell is how it came about for me... Here's an except: 1981: I use a commodore Vic20 for the first time. 5 kb RAM + 15 kb ROM = 20 kb. I want to learn Basic.. Read More...
