Why Can’t I Pay my Bills on Saturday?
While the rest of the world seems to be operating 24 hrs a day, banks and your service providers still operate on “business” days even when it comes to internet banking.
As I found out yet again, it is impossible to pay a bill, through your on-line banking service, on a weekend or holiday.

Twitter Twaddle
Well, I finally joined Twitter. twitter.com/demonte as my current project requires me to have access to an account. Now that I am here please feel free to “follow” me as I am not sure yet how to follow others. I guess I need to enter some email address or something. Any hoo. Tweet! Tweet goes [...]
What a Waste of Time and Money
With just over 2 weeks until the Federal Election the Conservative are right on track at 38% for another Minority government. This will be the third general election in 4 years to produce such a government. Remember when Harper said in the last election that he would fix the election date. What happened to the [...]
Microsoft is Macro-stupid!
It floors me to no end that the folks at Microsoft and their new agency of record, Crispin Porter, can’t seem to get it right.
First they hire a tired forgotten comedian, Jerry Seinfeld and plop him into a commercial with the ever charismatic, Bill Gates to try and revitalize at stogy old brand that [...]

WTF! Race Based Schools. Are You Fucking Kiding Me?
You would think the politicians would have learned from the last election not to fuck with the public school system and faith based schools. But no. In fact it is even a more controversial issue, race.
It would seem that some individuals think that their race would be better served in a school with a curriculum [...]
