Blog Action Day
Keep in mind that Blog Action Day is less then 2 days away but you can still sign up here. Basically on October 15th, 13785 bloggers (and counting) will be posting something about the environment in an effort to build awareness on global environment issues. Some of the blogs; Official Google Blog, Youtube Blog, Opera, Lifehacker, with thousands of others!So go check it out!
Today is Blog Action Day
Ok I did not expect to be out so late but complications arose and I find myself posting on the tale end of this day. But at least I'm doing it.
Today I'm going to be talking about Canada, yes it is the country north of the US, it is also the country north (but in a southern kind of way) of Russia. Yes it is Canada, it is northern Canada specifically that I wish to speak about.
Last year Northern Canada received record snow falls, this past summer several small northern towns experienced massive flooding from all the snow.
*While global warming deniers may see more snow a victory you have to remember this is northern Canada where in the winter tempters can drop to -50 F.
It is essential to understand that snow can only be made at a certain temperature, somewhere around 32 to 27 F. ** These figures indicate that it is impossible for it to snow at tempters even close to -50F.
The past year's record snow fall means what? Areas where it is usually far to cold for massive snowfall, have been experiencing none other then massive snowfall! This means temperatures are rising!
I know it may sound contradictory; more snow gives global warming more credibility, but ask any meteorologist, they'll tell you- it can only snow under very specific conditions. In some parts of the word these conditions have been occurring for years in others only now are we seeing tempters high enough to allow for any snow fall.
I'd give you a list of what you can do to help, but most people already know the basics and it'd sound hypocritical and condescending going through a list that I myself only loosely fallow. It's all about starting small, it has to be consumers who make a change, companies only sell what people buy. The problem is that most people don't know or don't care.

Awww Bunnies
Sony has just released another stunning and amazing add for there "Bravia" television. This one features some cute bunnies! Here.
These amazing adds are created by the Fallon marketing agency are some of the most stunning I have ever seen, these bunnies are the third installment of this amazing ad campaign and I hope they have a few more in the pipe line. (the official site has the adds and some behind the scenes stuff but it's super slow Paint and Bouncie Balls).
The thing about these adds that really blows me away-the released a teaser for the latest before it came out! That's right there so popular that they advertise the advertisement! yeah a teaser!
More news on my site I am really thinking about making it look nicer but for those of you who know me well I can not do CSS-which is what it would take... Soooo we'll see.

In Rainbows
In case you have not heard Raidohead is releasing a new album called "In Rainbows", it's not necessarily the music that's revolutionary but the way in which they plan on selling this puppy. Radiohead does not have a big label backing this album in fact they don't have one at all, no they have decided to go the way of the Artic Monkeys, no label. However it's not this labelless fad that people won't shut up about. It's the fact that on October 10th the whole album will be available for download for however much you want to pay! To be more clear say you don't want to pay for the privilege of hearing In Rainbows, you don't have to! Say you want to pay 80 pounds (the site is in pounds but for those of you who are not up on world finance that's about 162 US bucks), you can. That's the genius not only is Radiohead getting endless amounts of publicity they are also letting costumers download the whole thing for free, if they wanted. This is where human nature comes in, take the average man lets say Travis Fantina well he hates spending money however knowing that he does not have to pay for something will make him more inclined to pay for it. See when people extend you an offer of good will you are more likely to repay them.
I have no plans of spending anything close to what I would for a normal CD however I plan on giving two or three pounds. While there are some who will exploit this system, this is of corse there right as Radiohead is allowing free downloading, I feel that many will take my own point of view and put a few coins in the cup.
There is no doubt that Radiohead will make money not only from people like me paying a little for our downloads but also for die hard fans Radiohead is also a Diskbox set which includes a CD (with some bonus songs) 2 vinyl records, some digital photos and artwork along with some other neat tidbits.

PS I have plans of making yet another set of changes to my awesome site soon!

OSX 10.5
Well it's October, and most somewhat credible blogs are saying that Apple will be releasing there latest OSX "Leopard" this month. Quite exciting news for us Apple fans, however I have no real plans of upgrading until I buy a new computer (sometime in the spring I hope). I really have nothing to say other then I am utra-excited (like more excited then I was when Tiger came out) and I hope to review this amazing OS within a few weeks of it's release (If I can get my hands on a computer running it).
