Yesterday I posted a YouTube video of someone paying tribute to John Williams, the film score composer. Well, not to be too much of a Star Wars geek, but here is a cool interview that Mark Hamill did in England a few months after the first Star Wars movie was released.
Some of you must have seen this before (since there are 15 million people who have seen it), but I just saw it for the first time the other day.
Watch this YouTube video for a great tribute to John Williams, the composer for music from Superman, Star Wars, Indiana Jones, and more.
So, Giant Tiger has small pizzas on sale this week for $0.99 so I suggested we give it a try. My wife got a couple of different kinds. One of them was Mozzarella and Cheddar Cheese.
She took it out yesterday to make for lunch, and called me over. Where’s the cheddar? 
One of the trendy things right now with crafts/decorations is where Christmas lights are put inside a glass block. The glass block is then has vinyl put on it or some other decorations. Click the picture below to see lots of examples at Etsy.
My wife wanted to do this with a bunch of women at Church, so I volunteered (actually, my wife volunteered me) to cut the hole in the blocks. I told her I didn’t know how to do it, but that I’d be happy to help. She asked around, and one man said he had what we needed. It ended up it was a Dremel bit to cut tiles. It worked, but was slow, and the bit overheated easily. We then spoke to another man who said he had a carbide bit that would work. It worked, but was a lot more powerful and ended up breaking two blocks out of 5. We finally spoke to someone who had done it before. The bit is actually a diamond hole saw (see below). We kept the surface of the glass block wet, and it went through like butter. Very nice!
I am selling an 80GB iPod Classic (plays music and videos, displays photos, and allows you to sync calendar items and contacts). It works great, but we’re going to get something else. The sale includes everything in this picture:
As you can see, you get the iPod (the screen is in great condition), the charging/sync cable, a Griffin leather case, a Belkin FM transmitter, and a cable that will let you have audio out of your iPod and input into your stereo (as long as you have the right connection on your stereo. Of course everything is in working order.
Also, if you know how to transfer digital copies legally, I can also give you Harry Potter and the Half-blood Prince, Ice Age 3, Pixar’s Up, and The Dark Knight. I have the original codes, and would be happy to transfer ownership to you if that is possible (I don’t know how to do it).
I’m asking for $180 or best offer for all of this.
Here are more pictures of what you get:
Disney has been pretty good with this sort of thing. They have a deal that if you buy either of the first two Toy Story movies, you will get a free movie ticket to see Toy Story 3. I’d love to see it, and I am seriously contemplating buying the BluRay discs just to get the movie passes. If I was going to buy the BRs anyway, I might as well get a free movie!
Since I live in Ontario, there are a couple of great offers out there right now for what you can do with your kids this summer. Tim Hortons has some free swimming available, but unfortunately, my city isn’ t on their list. An even better one is the Kids Bowl Free program. This is where kids can bowl two games every day for free, and a family pass is only around $25 for the summer. Awesome price! Unfortunately, just like the swimming, this one isn’t available at any of the local bowling alleys either 
My grandmother sent this along to me…
A woman brought a very limp duck into a veterinary surgeon. As she laid her pet on the table, the vet pulled out his stethoscope and listened to the bird’s chest.
After a moment or two, the vet shook his head and sadly said, “I’m sorry, your duck, Cuddles, has passed away.”
The distressed woman wailed, “Are you sure?”
“Yes, I am sure. Your duck is dead,” replied the vet..
“How can you be so sure?” she protested. “I mean you haven’t done any testing on him or anything. He might just be in a coma or something.”
The vet rolled his eyes, turned around and left the room. He returned a few minutes later with a black Labrador Retriever. As the duck’s owner looked on in amazement, the dog stood on his hind legs, put his front paws on the examination table and sniffed the duck from top to bottom. He then looked up at the vet with sad eyes and shook his head.
The vet patted the dog on the head and took it out of the room. A few minutes later he returned with a cat. The cat jumped on the table and also delicately sniffed the bird from head to foot. The cat sat back on its haunches, shook its head, meowed softly and strolled out of the room.
The vet looked at the woman and said, “I’m sorry, but as I said, this is most definitely, 100% certifiably, a dead duck.”
The vet turned to his computer terminal, hit a few keys and produced a bill, which he handed to the woman. The duck’s owner, still in shock, took the bill. “$150!” she cried, “$150 just to tell me my duck is dead!”
The vet shrugged, “I’m sorry. If you had just taken my word for it, the bill would have been $20, but with the Lab Report and the Cat Scan, it’s now $150.”
Every Friday night we get “Friday Night Treats”. The kids look forward to it every week. We usually end up going to the Bulk Barn. The other day we were there, and I noticed the following drinks in the cooler:
In case you can’t tell, there is Flaming Moe’s (from the Simpsons), Power Up (with Super Mario), and Romulan Ale (from Star Trek). My first thought was, “Wow, how can those be legit?” I looked on the cans, and they all have copyright or trademark information on them
I checked out the Boston America web site, and they have lots of different energy drinks that have licensed characters on the can. I guess they are legit. The only thing that kind of bothers me is that some of the cans would appeal to kids.
