Keep away from small people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great. — Mark TwainTumblr (3.0; @shucker)http://www.chrisfane.com/<p>Sound man for Hockey Day in Canada in Stratford… you’re fired.</p>http://www.chrisfane.com/post/362016554http://www.chrisfane.com/post/362016554Sat, 30 Jan 2010 17:28:34 -0500<p>Not surprised to see Apple stock dropping during the presentation.

I can’t imagine what the marketing team was thinking. Any women in their focus groups?</p> <p>I’m rather underwhelmed. No tethering to my iPhone. No multitasking. No Adobe Flash. No camera. Keyboard dock, no mouse.</p> <p>Aside from my couch, where am I going to be using this? Am I supposed to pull it out of a backpack while waiting in line at a store. The only place outside of the home that it makes sense is in an airport or on a plane/bus/train.</p> <p>There’s a reason why Steve Jobs did his demo on the couch - something we haven’t seen before. It’s just not going to be practical to type on it while holding it with one hand. You’re going to want to sit down, cross your legs and rest it on your thigh for two handed typing.</p> <p>Am I saying “no” to purchasing it… hmmm… I haven’t reach that point yet. I’ll wait for some reviews and feedback before cashing in my FutureShop gift cards for something else.</p>http://www.chrisfane.com/post/356533305http://www.chrisfane.com/post/356533305Wed, 27 Jan 2010 14:54:08 -0500<p>RT @<a href="http://twitter.com/GloryRumours" target="_blank">GloryRumours</a>: Hey Canada!

Many are the plans in a man’s heart, but it is the LORD’s purpose that prevails.”<br/><br/> - <em>Proverbs 19:20-21</em>http://www.chrisfane.com/post/15284889http://www.chrisfane.com/post/15284889Fri, 12 Oct 2007 10:57:53 -0400<p><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v706/jetlears/Blog/onstar-logo200.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="200" align="right"/>Although OnStar has offered Stolen Vehicle Location Assistance to its subscribers since 1996, the firm is getting set to add a snazzy new enhancement for 2009 vehicles. The feature, dubbed Stolen Vehicle Slowdown, can use GPS to pinpoint a vehicle once it has been reported as stolen, and after OnStar confirms with local police that it has the vehicle within sight, it can then be slowed down remotely. The system actually receives a signal that “interacts with the powertrain to reduce engine power, which will [in turn] slow the vehicle down gradually.” Interestingly, customers will have the option of opting out of the service if they so choose, but we’d rather be safe (and potentially paranoid) than sorry.<br/><em><br/>[Source: Engadget.Com]</em></p>http://www.chrisfane.com/post/14847262http://www.chrisfane.com/post/14847262Tue, 09 Oct 2007 12:06:11 -0400Miles: Where do you live?<br /> Buck: In the city.<br /> Miles: You have a house?<br /> Buck: Apartment.<br /> Miles: Own or rent?<br /> Buck: Rent.<br /> Miles: What do you do for a living?<br /> Buck: Lots of things.<br /> Miles: Where's your office?<br /> Buck: I don't have one.<br /> Miles: How come?<br /> Buck: I don't need one.<br /> Miles: Where's your wife?<br /> Buck: Don't have one.<br /> Miles: How come?<br /> Buck: It's a long story.<br /> Miles: You have kids?<br /> Buck: No I don't.<br /> Miles: How come?<br /> Buck: It's an even longer story.<br /> Miles: Are you my Dad's brother?<br /> Buck: What's your record for consecutive questions asked?<br /> Miles: 38.<br /> Buck: I'm your Dad's brother alright.<br /> Miles: You have much more hair in your nose than my Dad.<br /> Buck: How nice of you to notice.<br /> Miles: I'm a kid - that's my job. http://www.chrisfane.com/post/14515054http://www.chrisfane.com/post/14515054Sat, 06 Oct 2007 20:52:18 -0400<object width="400" height="336"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/j9LJtggZYes&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/j9LJtggZYes&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="336" allowFullScreen="true" wmode="transparent"></embed></object><br/><br/><p>Okay… those who know me, know that I cringe every time I hear people add an “H” to words where it doesn’t belong.  </p> <p>I swear I practically had a seizure when I saw this commercial tonight.  There’s s<strong>H</strong>trong and then there’s Army s<strong>H</strong>trong…  </p>http://www.chrisfane.com/post/13856253http://www.chrisfane.com/post/13856253Mon, 01 Oct 2007 19:06:55 -0400<p><strong>Inspired by my friend Tim’s collection on Facebook:</strong> <img src="http://www.thriftstoreart.com/album_/142.jpg" border="1" alt="" vspace="10" width="360"/><img src="http://www.thriftstoreart.com/album_/117.jpg" border="1" alt="" vspace="10" width="360"/><img src="http://www.thriftstoreart.com/album_/120.jpg" border="1" alt="" vspace="10" width="360"/><img src="http://blog.sixwise.com/photos/images/images/212/480x480.aspx" border="1" alt="" vspace="10" width="360"/><img src="http://blog.sixwise.com/photos/images/images/219/420x423.aspx" border="1" alt="" vspace="10" width="360"/><img src="http://blog.sixwise.com/photos/images/images/213/480x480.aspx" border="1" alt="" vspace="10" width="360"/></p>http://www.chrisfane.com/post/13462242http://www.chrisfane.com/post/13462242Fri, 28 Sep 2007 09:39:01 -0400“Congratulations Fry, you’ve snagged the perfect girlfriend.
