Most web saavy individuals have probably already heard of Google’s free 411 service offering, but if you haven’t heard yet here is some info on Google’s new service.

According to an article in Money Magazine a while back, apparently men talk on cell phone more than women. I found this quite interesting as women are generally more communicative of the two sexes and have been known in general to talk more than men.
Women spend more time on the phone at home, but when it comes to cell phones, men rule. According to Cingular Wireless survey, men spend an average of 438 minutes on their cell phones a month, compared with 377 minutes on cell phones for women.
The reason for this could also be the fact that there are more business men out there that travel than business women, and generally those that travel for business tend to talk a lot of business while on the go on their cell phones.

Recently the school trustees of Toronto, Canada approved the go ahead to build an all black kids school in Toronto, mainly because of the extremely high drop out rates of black students in high school.

I think this is a completely backwards move. After all, didn’t Martin Luther King fight and died for the blacks to be recognized as equals all over the world. For Toronto, Canada school board to do something like this like saying “Black kids, need special attention so they DON’T drop out of school.” This is the message it is sending out to the world.

Year 2007 as the title of this post suggest was an extremely volatile year for me. At the beginning of 2007 I watched on CNN a gentleman from Hong Kong, talking about the Chinese pig or boar zodiac, and calendar prediction for 2007. The man said that usually years ending with the number 7 are very volatile, and he also mentioned that 2007 has metal, fire and water elements associated with it. Well, when you mix hot metal and water you get a lot of sizzle and volatility and that is exactly what I got for 2007.

My wife just bought tickets for us to go to the KoolHaus (The Guvernment) in Toronto to see Paul Van Dyk, who is if do not know the world’s best trance DJ. The event is happening in late November and it’s going to be our first time seeing Paul Van Dyk in Toronto.

This post is about a recent inkjet cartridge order I placed with 123inkjets.com.  A few weeks ago I placed an order for 12 replacement Epson ink cartridges which were the remanufactured kind.  Basically I ordered 3 of each color (Black, Magenta, Yellow and Blue), and I chose the non-OEM remanufactured ink cartridges because:

A. They are recycled, so I am helping the environment somewhat. 

Finally, bottled water companies will start to label the source of their water.
This article from Reuters details that PepsiCo’s Aquafina and Coca-Cola’s Dasani will start to label the source of the water in the bottles. If you thought it came from fresh water springs…nope it seems like it’s just filtered tap water.
Your probably better off carrying a bottle of Brita filtered water from home, than buying bottled water all the time.

If you were wondering why there were no post over the last 5 days it’s because I was in Miami, Florida to attend the Ultra Music Festival and to enjoy some nice weather. My wife and I attended the Ultra Music Festival and it was awesome and would recommended it to anyone who enjoys music, especially electronic music the likes of techno, house, trance and drum and bass. Here’s my little review of the Ultra Music Festival Miami, Florida.

If money was no object what would be your vehicle of choice?

Most people I know will most likely go for a Super sports car like a McLaren F1 or something of that nature, but I would rather much have something that is lighter on the gasoline. The McLaren F1 gives you 6 to 7 miles per gallon as stated in a car show that I watched yesterday. That’s insane, but the car is also insanely fast with 667 hp. The McLaren F1 also cost a cool million dollars, its basically a Formula 1 race car with a body on it, made for the streets, but very impractical for the streets as the car show pointed out.

Gotta step out to meet my wife at the day care where she works, but don’t have much time to blog. I’ll just leave you with this quick blurb.

Woke up this morning to roughly 20 cm (8 inches) of the white stuff called snow.

Man it was a lot, and I have to drive in this weather too with my small car. Good thing I’m skilled at Canadian winter driving. I guess people in New York, and various other States in the U.S are experiencing the exact same thing.

I attended my friend’s father funeral last Saturday, and I have to say that it reminded me that life is really about the people close to you in life. I always knew this, but sometimes certain aspects of life (money pressure and career) can take over and lead you in the wrong direction or lead you to mistreat your loved ones.
