Another Opinion Among Many

Awesome! I just got my e-flyer from Dell today and I saw a new offering on the ad.  They’re now bringing the Ubuntu operating system to Canada on some of their models! This is great news, as I have been contemplating a laptop purchase and it was going to have Linux on it.  Now, since I like Ubuntu anyways, I won’t have to install it myself.  And all of the machine’s capabilities will be used under Linux, supported by Dell.  Woo hoo!

Its been reported here and here as well.

This is so good!

I was checking out some of the images from the various webcams in the city and around the province to see how yucky the roads looked after our latest storm (which got the kiddies a day off school) and I saw this pretty image from the camera at City Hall.  It often looks like this in the dark hours, but I’ve never taken a capture.  I just think its a surreal look that needs to be shared.  Hence:

I had to mention this, as I’m sure that its not always or even usually the case for most.

Merry Christmas to our Landlord.  Ever since you bought the building that I live in, you’ve only shown that you want to establish a long term relationship with your tenants through your immediate and continued improvements to the building.  Thank you for doing the unexpected and dropping off a fruit basket to us.  We appreciate this gesture more than you likely think.

Merry Christmas to the team at Friendlier.com, who host this site.  Not only have you instilled confidence in my assessment of your abilities as a host and your forward-looking vision of producing a quality experience for a reasonable price.  You have also proven that you sometimes actually do get what you pay for.  And, thank you for sending a quick email to wish a Merry Christmas to me (and likely your other hostees).  Most of us still do care about the small things and this small gesture has proven that you are looking forward to a long term relationship with your customers by actually paying attention to them once in a while.

I’m not sure how I stumbled upon this site, but I hope that it sticks around. If you want “entertainment”, check out

I’m watching the “Tonight Show” with Jay Leno.  He’s got Jessica Biel as a guest tonight and he’s put her on the spot to sing for something that she told him she wanted when she was a child.  It turns out that its one of those little cars that kids rarely get.  So, as an adult, she finally gets one because she rises to the occasion and sings a song.  I now like her even more for rising to the occasion.  Great poise.  And, you do have a decent voice, Ms Biel.
