Posted by on Friday, June 27, 2008 - 4 comments
Rogers announced their iPhone package plans today. Two thumbs down. I will not be getting one until there is an unlimited data plan option. Shame on you Rogers for being stuck in 1997. • The plans: • $60 for 150 minutes with unlimited weekends and evenings. Sending of 75 text messages and only …

Brad Sucks just announced the release date of his next album Out of It. It hits the information superhighway on September 8th. • Here is a strange bit of information for you. I associate Brad with meatloaf (the food, not the singer). We've had dinner a few times with Brad and for some reason I'm …

Apparently, after four years, I'm still the President of The Internet. • Up until now I haven't been too concerned about losing my position. That was until today when I discovered that moose-knuckled cartoon character Graeme Frontbum is vying for my seat of power. It will be an honour if I lose …

Word on the street is that there are more British people visiting than ever. Why wouldn't they? The pound is worth twice as much as the dollar and we're only a cheap 5-7 hour flight away. Oh, we also have the Queen on our money. • Premier Ghiz: Cancel our ads in New England, get a weekly direct …
