Come on over here!

Am I the only one to notice this?  Check it out for yourself next time you hit the next red light.

Canada Company provides a platform to do things in our communities and our workplace. Making the route to serve as supportive as possible and providing the care that is deserved whenever needed is a contribution that we can, and should, make as both business leaders and citizens.

Let’s hope the latest 100m star will survive all the drug tests.  If so, it’s a remarkable achievement.  It’s also the end of Canada and Great Britain’s importing of Jamaicans to win track and field gold.  Seems they do better staying at home.

Usain Bolt earned a triple-triple of sprint gold medals and world records today, an unprecedented Olympic feat that elevated him alongside Michael Phelps as the stars of the Beijing Games.

Ah, the memories of Ben Johnson “I never took no stereos” of 20 years ago!  The above picture is also tremendous...beautiful lighting and amazing clarity.

I don’t watch or blog many YouTube videos, but these two are spectacular [h/t to MA]. The transitions are just amazing.

There’s something fascinating about large structures that have been completely abandoned.

According to recent news reports, a top observatory that has been measuring sun spot activity predicts that global temperatures will drop by two degrees over the next 20 years as solar activity slows and the planet drastically cools down.

When is the green fad going to be over?  I can hardly wait.
