Leaving Blogger

Friday, March 5, 2010

After 6 years of using blogger for my blog purposes I am going ot have to leave them; since they are discontinuing ftp publishing.

for me, the big problem is that I use ASP server side code in every page on my site; the new system will be unable to do that.

Goodbye blogger... It was a nice, free ride. Any suggestions for replacements?

Great Nike Commercial

Nike has a big ad budget, so no surprise at the quality; yet I loved this commercial. Great!

Emma and Sabino

Monday, January 25, 2010

The story of Emma and Sabino has really bothered me since I first heard in a couple weeks back. The 'gist' is

Emma married a Mexican gentleman named Sabino about a year ago
Emma got pregnant
Sabino left the country when his visa expired
Sabino applied to come back
Emma is now almost due (Feb 5, I think)
Sabino's visitor visa to be here for the birth is beign repeatedly denied by the Canadian Government
Emma and Sabino eventually want to return to Mexico to live, not stay in Canada.

I have gotten involved petitioning the government to allow Sabino to come back. I believe he should be present for the birth of his baby.

I encourage you to get more info on Facebook, sign the Online Petition or write a letter to the people with power.
And don't forget to pray!

Toronto is Huge - weddingchannel

Was looking at various wedding directory websites, and this one made me laugh. I am sure they don't mean it the way the present it, but it is visually pretty stereotypical of an American view of Canada!
