b5media, the company for whom I am Nerd Wrangler, is one of the finalists for the Canadian New Media Awards’ “Most Promising Company of the Year”. The announcement was made at the nextMEDIA conference, which took place this weekend in Banff.
We’re up against the esteemed competition, FileMobile and Viigo. According to the Canadian New Media Awards site, the winners will be announced at their gala in October.
My congratulations to my coworkers! I knew that working at b5 was going to be special.
Here are my photos from Woofstock, which I mentioned in the previous post, in slideshow form:

The diving competition set up by Ontario Dock Dogs.
Woofstock is North America’s largest festival for dogs, and it’s taking place today and tomorrow right here in Accordion City. The place where the Ginger Ninja and I live doesn’t allow dogs, but we’re dog people and we wanted to check it out anyway (and we plan to get a dog when we buy our house).
There is no admission charge to attend Woofstock, and yes, you’re welcome to bring your dog. It’s a street festival on Front Street that runs from Yonge to Jarvis (see the map below).
For more information, go check out Woofstock’s site. It’s is a dog-lover’s heaven; if you love dogs, you’ll love Woofstock!
According to Torontoist, the gas stations are going to jack the price of a litre of regular unleaded to $1.35 per litre at midnight tonight. If you’ve got a tank to fill, you just might want to do it before then.
(For my American readers, that translates to CDN$5.13 a gallon / US$5.04 a gallon.)
Luckily for me, we make minimal use of the car, favouring the subway (or a “subway-there/taxi back” approach) for most outings and public transport (in Wendy’s case) or my bike, The Scorpion King (in my case) for getting to and from work. I fill the tank on the Deathmobile (not so much a comment on the environment or car-caused fatalities as it is an homage to Animal House) less than once a month.
My bike, The Scorpion King.
This one’s for all the math nerds…

Update: Matthew points out that Toothpaste for Dinner did a cartoon of this back in March:
I’d have paid more attention in Sunday School if you’d presented it like this! You will have to use your common sense to gauge as to whether you’d be offended by a video of a gangsta-rappin’ Jesus:
Just got this email:
I wanted to know if by any chance you would be interested in doing an unbiased review of one of our products.
If you agree we will send you a product sample so that you can try it and then write a review about it. Please note you won’t have to return the product sample after publishing the review.
The product in question? Peloop:
These 3 materials will constantly provide your penis with amazing benefits. peloop™ is simply worn at the bottom of your penis just like you wear a ring on your finger. It’s penis enhancement and penis enlargement made simple.
These materials work by drastically improving the condition of blood inside your penis. Your penis health is as good as the blood health inside it. If you have unhealthy blood in your penis, you will have a weak unhealthy penis BUT if you have healthy blood in your penis, you will have a big, strong and healthy penis. It’s that simple. Please continue reading to fully understand how peloop works for male enhancement.
My favourite bit: the addendum at the bottom of the page that says “NOTE: JUNE 2007, NEW IMPROVED ADJUSTABLE PELOOP.” If I’m going to be strapping something on the Magnificent Pork Sword, it had damn well better be adjustable.
So, dear readers, what do you think? Do the review and get a free peloop, or pass and not have my in-laws (who read this blog) give me the “what the hell is wrong with you?” look forever?
