Craftster.org

Billed as a site for people "who have crafty urges, but who are not excited by cross stitched bunnies and crocheted toilet paper cozies", craftster.org definitely has some interesting ideas for off-the-garden-path crafting. Makes my crocheted wire and bead necklace look like child's play.

Tolerate Mornings

Folger's newest TV commercial is a tad creepy. Check it out here.

And now I have that blasted song stuck in my head...

I'm a liberal (lower case "l") and proud of it....

I've really disliked American writer Ann Coulter since I saw her on the 5th Estate telling the CBC interviewer that she thought Canadians were a bunch of liberal wimps. What an idiot. Rarely has someone actually made me want to reach through a TV screen and smack them. She'd written a book called "How to talk to a liberal if you really have to." There was a great moment on that 5th Estate piece where she argued with the interviewer about whether or not Canadian troops were ever in Vietnam - they weren't but you couldn't tell her that. He managed to momentarily upset her self-aggrandizement. It was a lovely moment.

Anyway, she's now written a new book in which she critisized some of the 911 widows. Yeah - apparently they are "enjoying" their husbands' death. Here's a bit from CNN. It's been all over the news.

So, is she an idiot or simply really good at marketing...

Honda choir

J-L, our choir director, put me on to the "music" from the new Honda Civic UK commercial. It's prett cool. Check it out here. Click on Watch and then Watch the Film. (SKIP the intro first... if I've said it once, I've said it a dozen times - "If you need to say 'skip intro', you should have just skipped the intro... thanks, Trevor.)
