Optics Planet has some great gift ideas

by

I’ve got some more cool gift ideas for you! Don’t get your loved ones socks and ties when you can get them A telescope of their very own. Ok maybe not everyone wants or needs a telescope but what about one of the many types of binoculars – Digital binoculars, monoculars, opera glasses – that are on sale now at OpticsPlanet.net

I know so many people that could use not just one but several of the items that Optics Planets sells. My brother in law loves to hunt, I don’t like him doing it so much, but he loves it so maybe one of the leupold rifle scopes would make a great gift for him. I also have nephews that would probably love the telescopes or microscopes. My sister, being an engraver might be able to use one of the loupes that they sell, and my in-laws could probably use an extra flashlight or two.

If you’re still looking for the perfect gift don’t forget to visit Optics Planet.

This weeks Photo theme is Annoying

Momma dog

Now this would be annoying.

You’re just lying there relaxing, maybe having a nap, one of your favorite doggy dreams of you running in a field chasing a rabbit perhaps, and then to your surprise, you wake up to someone elses kids making themselves at home and having themselves a kick ass snack.

Honestly … Some peoples kids! Geesh!

I was interviewed by BlogTO

by

I completely forgot to mention that my interview was posted over at Blog TO. It’s a blog about all things Toronto and it’s fairly popular. They have a section called Blogerati and they regularly do interviews with fellow Toronto bloggers in that area.

I was pleased to have been contacted by them for an interview. I managed to plug a few of the bloggers that I like to visit in my interview as well. Check out the interview to see if I mentioned you.

Oh and in case I do happen to get some visitors from BlogTo. First of welcome to my humble little blog, and second – would you like to join the Toronto Bloggers Blogroll? Or if you live too far outside of Toronto .. like maybe Nova Scotia or British Columbia perhaps then you might be interested in Joining the I am Canadian Blogroll? They’re free to join for all Toronto or Canadian bloggers (even Canadians living in other Countries right now too).

Free greeting cards online

by

Have you managed to send out all your holiday and Christmas cards to your friends and family? If you did, did you remember you Internet friends? If you are like me, I’m sure you’ve made some friend on the internet and while you might not know their home addresses you probably know their email addies. Why not send them free Christmas cards ? Good idea eh?

Egreeting cards has a post up right now about the top 10 free Christmas cards. You read the post, select the greeting cards that you enjoy and send them free to your friends, family, and even co-workers right then and there, and all for absolutely no charge. If you like the cards once you begin to browse through the site you might be interested in signing up for a subscription which will entitle you to send an unlimited amount of cards throughout the whole year. Membership is just $13.99 and it begins with a 30 day free trial. Once you are signed up as a member you’ll also find a great feature that allows you to schedule card deliveries in advance. Perhaps you know that your brothers birthday is coming up in March, but you’re going to be away on holidays, or you’re afraid that you might forget the date as it grows closer? Simply pre-schedule a card delivery now while it’s on your mind and you don’t even have to think about it again. Well, except hopefully to call your brother on his birthday I hope.

Spam!

Yesterday I kept deleting spam that Akismet had caught for this blog. I didn’t keep track but it was coming in fast – 10 here, 30 there, 46 and so on. I’m sure I caught over 200 spam messages on this blog alone yesterday. The others were hopping too, but not anywhere near as much as this blog.

Today … I moderated a comment on my photoblog. While I was behind the scenes on that blog I noticed that I had 339 spam messages waiting for me to decide what to do with. Have you ever gone through that much spam on your blog at once to figure out if any are real messages? Then I checked my other blogs. Four more of them had spam too. I came up with a grand total of 479 spam messages today from 7 a.m. ’til 3 p.m on a total of 5 blogs.

I get enough spam in my email. I don’t need it in my blogs too!

Cease and Desist would you.
