Tennessee Titans battle for the playoffs

Posted by Reid Greven on December 30, 2007

I’d love to rattle off some long, in depth insight into life right here, but I’m busy watching my favorite NFL team, the Tennessee Titans, battle against the Indianapolis Dummies for a spot in the playoffs.

Win and they’re in. Lose and go home.

Awww man, they just fumbled… Not good.

We’ll know more in the morning. What’s YOUR favorite NFL team?

Santa brought an iPhone!

Posted by Reid Greven on December 29, 2007

Yes, I wanted an iPhone. Can you blame me?

So all I asked for Christmas was money so I could pool it all together, add it to some I’d been saving, and get an iPhone – maybe.

I wasn’t sure.

I had to talk to talk to an AT&T rep to see if I could adjust my plan, especially the data stuff. Turns out that in the wake of people texting me, I was racking up $15 – 20 worth of INCOMING texts!

I was paying for people who were too lazy to pick up the phone and call me (y’know, the thing a PHONE was MADE for!). At $0.15 per incoming text, we were racking up nearly $20 in incoming texts. And since that wasn’t going to change any time soon, I realized I could pay the same amount and take advantage of the features of the iPhone.

Pretty good logic, eh?

So save up your Christmas money, analyze your incoming texts, and enjoy your new iPhone too!

Redneck Rollercoaster (in Canada!)

Posted by Reid Greven on December 28, 2007

This video is amazing – and no, I’m not talking about the less-than-stellar reporting from my hometown station.

It actually IS from my hometown of London, Ontario, AND the guy in the video, Dave Rock, has been fixing stuff for my parents for years. Dad says he’s brilliant and can fix anything!

Anyhoo – check out what he did to this 1991 Chevy Cavalier, and tell me you wouldn’t want one of these for some fun on the weekends…

Would YOU want one of these?

Michael Olson, Michael W. Smith and The Burbs

Posted by Reid Greven on December 27, 2007

So we arrived at Ashley & Michael Olson’s today (Ashley’s my sister, and Mom & Dad are down from Canada). By the way, you’re gonna want to lick over to Michael’s site (new under Sites Galore!!)

And Ashley got Michael a Tom Hanks collection for Christmas, including the movie “The Burbs” (which I LOVE !!!!!)

The Burbs

So Michael plays drums for Michael W. Smith. Most of you know that. But here’s something I didn’t know…

Michael (W. Smith) has an annual “The Burbs” party!! People dress up as their favorite character and they watch the movie o a big screen on the front lawn. AHHH! Olson’s got to get me in next year!! He’s gonna go as Rumsfeld, and I’ve got to find a pair of liederhosen!!

Rumsfeld and the ugly kid

What character would YOU go as?
