Get Rich Cheating

Speeding Ticket

So.... I got a speeding ticket today. My first ever.

I was caught on Enterprise Blvd going 60 km/h in a 50 km/h posted zone.
No demerit points. $40 fine.

The officer was a young guy, not much older than me. He discouraged me from going to trail by saying that the ticket was a reduced favor. If this goes to trial, he said he would state that I was going at 76.

Online poll from ticketcombat.com suggest that this would not impact my insurance premium.


What should I do? Pay the fine or fight it?

Mr Methane

Watch it.

If you're at work, use headphones.

Rogers Blows

Rogers Wireless said Tuesday it would begin charging 15 cents for each incoming text message for customers without message plans, beginning on July 7.

The move comes about nine months after rival carriers Bell and Telus made similar changes in their policies.

Consumers won't be charged for spam text messages and users of the discount brand Fido won't be affected, she said

The announcement of the change to text messaging fees came the same day Rogers announced that both Rogers Wireless and Fido phones will be able to send and receive updates from online messaging service Twitter by SMS text message.

Slanderous

I've finally made headlines on Truth Be Bold. Here's the article.

I don't know who this creep/weirdo author is.

My 2009 Summer Movie List

The Watchmen (March 6)
Yet to see. I'll wait for the DVD rip. =)


X-Men Origins: Wolverine (May 1)
Rotten Tomatoes gave it a bad score. I had high expectations for this. Guess I'll have to wait for the DVD rip.


Star Trek (May 8)
YES!!!


Angels and Demons (May 15)
The first one was good so I'll give the 2nd film a chance.


Terminator Salvation (May 22)
This is a must see for me. Cyberdyne Systems! I heard there could be a small clip of the governator.


Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (June 26)
The first one sucked ass but I'll guess I'll watch it because of the branding and franchise.


Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs (July 1)
It must be good since it's scheduled to release on the HUGE weekend. Only very good movies get the Canada Day and Independence day weekend release slot.


Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (July 17)
NO. I haven't seen any Harry Potter films.. and don't plan to start.


G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra (August 7)
Yo Joe!

The Power of Branding

So I went to watch Disney's Earth over the weekend at the theaters It was a pretty moving experience....until I went to the Sony Store the day after and saw the EXACT same footage on Blu Ray that I saw the night before!!!

Disney Nature Films made an arrangement with the film producer BBC Planet Earth to use its footage and distributed it by the masses with the Disney name brand. ... and to collect big bucks.


The Disney's version was narrated by Darth Vader (James Earl Jones) with exactly the same words from the BBC documentary.


Here's a clip from BBC's Planet Earth:
