Call the exterminator

We’ve got to gas the crickets that have settled in here at 42 points.

Yea, I’ve been a bad little blogger. The fact that I have six posts sitting in my draft folder is a testament to my desire to post more but the fact that they remain simply drafts is a testament to my lack of finishing power.

In the interest of getting the ball rolling, here are some Warren-Kinsella-esque bits and pieces for y’all.

• Has anyone else noticed the way the major mainstream media outlets are starting to really integrate new media content? CBC takes the cake for their redesign featuring a number of nods to blogs, comments and video but the Star seems to be really pushing their video and blogs (though the blogs are suffering from a nasty case of summer no-post-itis) and the Globe has started directing readers of the print edition to online videos and the like on their front page! Now if only they’d ditch the eye-straining left justification (sorry Evan)
• I continue to mock the Facebook revolution but I freely admit to being mildly somewhat addicted to it. I still have the same quasi-reservations about being kept in superficial contact with old friends and non-friends alike but it is nice to be able to track down people I otherwise wouldn’t have bothered/worked to track down. I do wonder, however, how the growing attempts to turn it into a sales and PR tool will pan out. I get the feeling that as long as this guy‘s in charge, it won’t go too Classmates on us.
• Speaking of which, does anyone use Classmates anymore?
• Finally, this news excites me, if only because we’ve all just seen the awesomeness that having an ex-Jet behind the bench can bring.
