Waldo is, for all our non-North America friends, our name for the man you probably know as Wally.

Today's brief newspost is brought to you by my broken home internet connection. Thanks a lot, Telus! Thanks for 'upgrading' my connection to one that is incompatible with my (Telus provided) modem. That was smooth.

Don't forget... November 30th is the last day we offer guaranteed pre-Christmas shipping of anything in our store to anywhere in the world.

Desert Bus, part two

My friends over at Loading Ready Run are having crazy success with their Desert Bus charity drive. They've even set up a webcam feed and chatroom, so you can watch their progress and then yell at them.

Raising money by playing the worst video game ever -- I wish I was smart enough to come up with an idea like that, but I'll have to settle for linking to it instead. Good luck, guys!

In other news, November 30th is the last day we offer guaranteed pre-Christmas shipping of anything in our store to anywhere in the world. Act now, regret later!

I love American thanksgiving. On Thursday you give thanks for everything you have, and then on Friday you rush out and buy everything you don't!

Black Friday: the official launch of the Christmas busying season... the 24 hour period when more money is exchanged for commercial goods in America than on any other day of the year! There really isn't anything like it in Canada, although we do close the Christmas season with a comprable spend-crazy sale-a-thon on Boxing Day.

Also: bagged milk, two dollar coins, moose, igloos, no electricity. Canada!

Speaking of spending, just a reminder that November 30th is the last day we offer guaranteed pre-Christmas shipping of anything in our store to anywhere in the world. It's also probably the last day to order t-shirt 3-packs. It's also... the last day of November. But it's the first day of... the rest of your life, Johnny.
