When I was 19 my roommate Richgot me into the Great flash game Romp.com. The Game was about a guy named Jake who who has is trying to get laid. In a choose your own adventure style you navigate Jake thou a verity of romps. Does Jake hit on the Blond or the Red head? Does Jake ask for her Number or play it cool?This was all back in 2002. The site closed down in 2004 after the designer sold the rights to National Lampoons. The Film was made and toured around colleges but never became a real hit.

This brings use today when I found a all 35 episodes. It's raunchy so it's not for the kiddies

What is your Homepage?



So I'm always looking for the perfect homepage. I used to use msn.com but then that was re-branded to live.com. live.com sucked. Then I switched over to Google.com, So far I've liked it. Now that they have themes I love it even more.

The guys at Life Hackers did a comparison chart

So what is your homepage? Tell me

FaceBook is Huge in Canada. you no ahh!



It's like facebook is everywhere these days. Even my hippy friends have them. youthography.com.did a article about the website here is a excerpt:
Facebook has EXPLODED in Canada in the last three months, and has become even more significant here than in the US. Facebook did not exist on the online media landscape in Canada six months ago: it was, until late September of last year, only open to members of recognized student networks (read: people with valid e-mail addresses from school that were members). Today, Facebook is the number five most visited Web site in Canada according to Alexa’s global Web metrics traffic counts (and really, Facebook is more like the number four Web brand here, as Alexa counts Google.com and Google.ca as two sites).

This puts Facebook as one of the most important Web sites in Canada just after Google, MSN and Yahoo!. That’s huge, but think of it this way: Facebook gets more traffic than massively popular destinations for Canadian youth, like YouTube, MySpace, wikipedia, EBay, Blogger, Amazon, CBC, and NHL.com. This isn’t to say it’s still the only online game in town…MSN is still the number two Web site in Canada and easily the most significant tool for messenging. Right now, Facebook is adding more than 10,000 new Canadian users a day! And of those users, 73% of them use the site every day. From January to now, Facebook has added more than 600,000 new users, bringing the Canadian audience to more than 1.5 million uniques.
Dude Fackbook is taking over the world. I still think Twitter is going to be the next facebook.

The best TV Fourm site is going Big time
















I've been posting on the
Television without pity site for years now. The site which not only offers the best forums on the net but snaky reviews on some of the hit shows of TV. Those reviews were the only thing keeping with "the O.C." in the end.

So whether you love reality TV and are hooked on American Idol or you love the drama of shows like the Gilmore Girls, TWoP is a great site for you. Besides recaps of episodes, they’ve included polls.

The Spare the snark, spoil the network site has recently been bought by NBC. Which means it's going to put TV.com out of business. TV.com always was the better site because of it's media but failed in the forum territory . Now with this new funding expect TWOP to go over some major changes. More videos, More reviews and backstage info from inside NBC.

I can't wait to see who is going to win this battle.

It's All About Twittering?


So anyone who knows me knows I love to chat. You also know I love to ask what are you doing and what happens when the two meet. Well you have Twitter. Twitter is an online service that lets you broadcast short messages to your friends or "followers." It also lets you specify which Twitter users you want to follow so you can read their messages in one place.

Really I don't know anyone on Twitter besides me in my circle of friends but it will catch on and you might as well be on board now.

As you can see on the right hand side I'm twittering right now. The guys at webware.com go into twitter more detail. Click here for details

Yahoo! Canada Giving Away Studio Time


So after Google and Cnet, Yahoo! is my Favorite internet portal and they might have just moved up a spot. Yahoo! Canada has just announced they will be holding a elimination-style contest to Find the Next big thing. The "Up Yours" contest offers the winner $10,000 cash, 30 hours recording time at Metalworks Studios, a $10,000 scholarship to the Metalworks Institute, as well as a shot at a record deal with Universal.

Yahoo is handing out flyer's all over Canadian Music week here in Toronto which by the way is ending tomorrow. You can also hear radio ads on the Edge 102 and talk to the edge team of interns at any edge event for the next month.

The Contest starts Next week and Runs until the end of April. Contestant's can upload the videos and Songs online and will be judges in a show to air on yahoo.ca and a yet to be named network. The top three, who will be announced on May 1. Voting for the winner ends May 6.

The same contest Ran last year in the USA with Host Tom Green. So since everyone I know seems to be a musician these days I'm writing and sending this out.

Maybe one of you will be the next Kelly Clarkson.

Download of the Day: iTunes 7.1 (Windows/Mac)

iTunes%207.1.png

Windows and Macintosh only: Enjoy full-screen Cover Flow and more
with iTunes 7.1, the latest version of Apple's music manager/media
store.

The updates in this release are minor but worthwhile. Cover Flow,
which lets you browse your albums by flipping through their covers, now
includes a full-screen view, complete with playback controls. Apple has
also added some new sorting options and support for the upcoming Apple
TV gizmo.

The big letdown is that iTunes still doesn't offer folder monitoring, a true head-scratcher. But the new version is worth the download just for the new Cover Flow, which gives Windows users a taste of Front Row. iTunes 7.1 is free, of course. It's available for Windows and Mac.
