Frisbee Attacks!

Frisbee Attacks! is the first video I made with my Canon Powershot digital camera. Also the first video I edited by myself.

Here's the real question though. Can you tell me what the music in the video is from? Post your guess in the comments, and if you're right I'll give you a prize. I'll give you a hint: it's from a video game.

(Dave can't guess)

Canucks are pretty cool


Go Canucks! Woot! They finished the Dallas Stars in game 7, and it was a mighty fine finish. I'm very pleased to see the Canucks move on, as well as the Ottawa Senators. poor Calgary, they're out. But with the way they were playing they honestly didn't deserve to be in.
In review, my round one playoff picks were 7 for 8, I was wrong about Calgary. That's ok though. Vancouver is gonna do good in round 2 I think. And currently I am in 7648th spot in the CBC playoff pool. That's not too bad, considering there's 45966 spots.
Well, here's my Round Two (2) picks.

Buffalo vs NY Rangers - Buffalo in 6
New Jersey vs Ottawa - Ottawa in 7
Detroit vs San Jose - San Jose in 5
Anaheim vs Vancouver - Vancouver in 6

P.S. Yet again, CBC has gone and surprised me with doing something cool and unexpected. You can watch any and every playoff game that they air on CBC, live and streaming in high quality at cbc.ca/hockey. Pretty cool, especially when I've been trying to follow games while I'm at school.

Dear Sister

Andy Samberg is definitely producing the best material for SNL right now.

He's originally from the group The Lonely Island who tried a show called 'Awesometown', and while their show never took flight, they have most of the stuff they made available on their website at thelonelyisland.com , and you should really check it out.

Also, check out the Special Christmas Box SNL skit. It's the greatest.

Before Snow Patrol

Let's waste time chasing cars around our heads. And go to Snow Patrol concerts.

Stanley Cup Playoffs - twenty 'ot seven

The playoffs are here again! Go Oilers Go! I mean, uh... rats.

The playoffs are here, and I guess I can't cheer for the Oilers. So I'll cheer for Vancouver instead.
Here is who I'm cheering for (in order of importance):
1) Vancouver Canucks - They've got a strong team, I think they're gonna be Canada's best chance this year. Plus, they already have my love because of the 2010 Olympics, and the fact that Stargate SG-1 was shot there.
2) Pittsburgh Penguins - I love Sidney friggin' Crosby. This one's pretty much just Crosby-Bandwagon hopping. But March of the Penguins was a good movie. Morgan Freeman narrated that, and Morgan Freeman is friggin' awesome. Except in Outbreak, that movie kinda sucks.
3) Calgary Flames - I've never hated the Flames much, and I'll certainly cheer on the Albertan playoffs team. I like the city, and they're close enough to us to create an exciting atmosphere in Edmonton. Not like last year of course, sigh... But I remember in 'ot four, some people had Flames flags on their cars, that was neat.
4) Ottawa Senators - I cheer for 'em cause they're Canadian. I don't know much about the team, and I'm cheering for Pittsburgh overtop them, but if they win, I'll be happy. Plus, Ottawa is one of the most beautiful cities in Canada, second only to Victoria in my experience.
5) New York "Oilanders" - I do love Ryan Smyth, and I will certainly cheer for the underdog Islanders in their drive for the Cup. Plus Marc-Andre Bergeron is doin' pretty awesome over there. They get my former Oilers vote.


Now that you know who I'm cheering for, here are my Round One predictions.

Vancouver vs Dallas - Vancouver in 6
Detroit vs Calgary - Calgary in 7
Nashville vs San Jose - San Jose in 6
Anaheim vs Minnesota - Anaheim in 7

Ottawa vs Pittsburgh - Ottawa in 6
Buffalo vs Islanders - Buffalo in 5
New Jersey vs Tampa Bay - New Jersey in 6
Atlanta vs Rangers - Rangers in 7

Top 10 Church Websites, ERBC doesn't make the list??

I was checking out my digg feed and saw a post called 10 Stunning Church Websites You Should See. It's posted by a site developer who admired the design and standards compliance these websites have.

The sites are very well done, they use flash, attractive design, catchy art and all in all appear to be relevant to an internet audience. And the post has already got over 200 digg's, so these websites (which are able to appeal to people who appreciate sensible and attractive sites) just got a whole lot of exposure.

That got me thinking about my church's website. It's a pretty bad site. It's mostly text, and the only pictures they have are about 10 years old, and are rarely of people who actually attend the church. I think that if our church put some effort into making a respectable website, it would have a pretty positive effect. Tons of the ERBC youth and young adults are on sites like MySpace, YouTube, and Flickr everyday. If there was an attractive and relevant online site, there would be a great potential to build a community in that way.

At least there's a Sr High forum.

Montréal -40 from Edmonton

Boo ya. Malajube was awesome. Awesome and rad. I made a video of their performance of "Montreal -40", but the audio was quite poor so I just used the mp3 for most of it. Is that bad? No, I don't think it is.

Anyways, the conert was one of the best I have ever been to. Malajube was great, they're francophones from Montréal you know. There were so many frenchmen there, it was fantastique. While I was in line for the concert I had a conversation with a couple from Montréal for about half an hour, all in french. They didn't know I was from Alberta, and they said I have a really good accent! I told them it was fake. Also, I found out I am an infermier, which is french for nurse. So cool.

Champion headlined (his friends call him DJ Champion, well I do anyways). DJ Champion headlined and I was all like "Wull, I'm just here to see Malajube, and this DJ guy won't be that good." Let me tell you, that DJ guy was way that good. He was unreal. The coolest thing was that he had a band, and each member played real instruments. And by instruments I mean guitars. There was four electric guitars and one bass. I rocked out, literally to the max.

I feel bad for all of you who missed out, cause it was a real fun time. Sometimes you should listen to your crazy uncle Graeme, and go with him to cheap concerts. I'm talking to you, Jesse, Dave, Jake, and/or Caleb. But I don't know how many of you read my blog. Brandon gets all the points for coming with, and rocking out Montréal-style.
