First off, my condolences to the Jackson family and friends and all the fans out there who have been impacted by his death.
----

With the rumours about Michael Jacksons upcomming "resurrection" tour and now his death. How appropriate would it be if he walked out on stage at London's O2 arena on July 13th?

Some suspicions are raised by the fact that money is not being refunded to those who bought tickets and now Justin Timberlake is supposed to be doing a tribute show on those dates instead.

There always seems to be a way to name people by their roles in a group. For instance, our group has: Jerry the mystery, Mike the anhedonic one, Anthony the dark lord, and myself: the Canadian psycho.

I know what your thinking. The title says "no words" but here I am typing out words. But you must understand that this is a big deal and I need to try and put it in words because I have to share this incredible news with everybody!

So yesterday was the typical day, get up, shower, brush, get dressed, go to work, etc. It wasn't really until I got home that I found the exciting news that I'm about to tell you. E3 WAS IN THE PROCESS OF HAVING THEIR BIG 3 MAKE THEIR ANNOUNCEMENTS FOR THIS YEAR IN GAMING!!!

Well I've been honing my writing skills the last little while. I've been avidly writing reviews on Yelp, out of addiction or honest desire to reviews stuff -- I still don't know. But somehow within the span of about a week I have climbed my way to 103 reviews, made 7 friends, had 65 firsts, received 13 compliments, and been an active contributor to their talk board. Now I'm just waiting for someone to nominate me for Elite status... (any takers?)

It's that time of the year again. When the sun starts to break through the gloominess of winter. Dreary memories of cold, wet, and naturally unpleasant times melt away with the refreshing warmth of the approaching sun. It's around this same time of year that many people get their butt's in gear to get back in shape after a long winter of gluttony and laziness.

After spending eight years with a president who just wasn't there I had tears in my eyes today during the inauguration of Barack Obama. On some level the inauguration was quite significant to me despite the fact that I am a proud Canadian.

Let it be known that Canada is cheering for you America.

I've been lucky enough to be one of the many people enjoying the newest gamer addiction: Left 4 Dead. The only problem is, I've been gaming so much lately that it hurts to even move my thumb. Even as I type this my thumb aches like a mother and I'm trying my best to keep it stationary. I wanted to provide you all with a really nice picture of a thumb here, something that has been mauled to death for whatever reason but in my search for a great picture I came across something else. Something... incredible.

Three weeks with patchy internet later I'm back in Toronto and had a very fun but very stressful break as I have been trying to get my 0.3 handed in all break but didn't have the internet to do it. So this is my formal submission for my 0.3. The task I was working so hard on was making all the Ubiquity commands that "worked" in Thunderbird be the only ones that appeared. I kept my scope very large however and tried very hard to get the ones that had potential to work but were buggy working. Sadly that was a dead end road.

So it may have seemed that I closed to tickets when in fact I closed one. Which I'm starting to second guess closing now. But thats another issue. My original ticket #325 to add a metadata field has been reopened because I didn't go through every command and implement the application field. So for step one I am going to go through and decide which ones will work as they are in Thunderbird. Secondly, I am going to go through some of the commands and see if they can be made to work using existing Thunderbird functionality and try to implement that.
