The 2010 Annual Music Compilation is ready
I'm just finishing up my "Best of 2010" annual music compilation. As usual, you'll find a variety music that you (mostly) haven't heard before, and hopefully you'll wind up loving at least a few of the tracks.
Send me a note (email, text or Facebook), and I'll mail you a copy, provided you supply:
a. your address and
b. your CD or mp3/iPod preference.
Thanks to the people that tell me they appreciate the music. That's why I keep making these compilations every year. It also doesn't hurt to poke or befriend this note on FB.
All the best for 2011! Cheers, Chris

Ottawa Senators GM rumour
There's a hockey rumour going around that Pierre McGuire could be the next Sens GM. Not only would it be hilarious from an organizational standpoint, but it would also get him off TSN for a while. Win-win. Unless you're a Sens fan

Tix for 2012 World Jr Championships in Alberta
The 2012 World Jr. Hockey championships are going to be in Alberta. Register online for the ticket priority draw now for 10 games in Edmonton, 21 games in Calgary or both. The tournament runs Dec 26, 2011 to Jan 5, 2012.
I signed up for both draws, but would probably prefer the games in Edmonton. Let me know if you are interested. It's possible we could split up the ticket packages.
2010 Seattle Seahawks: Worst. Playoff. Team. Ever?
The Seahawks aren't even as good as their weak 7-9 record, by some reckonings. How do they stack up against other sports' weakest playoff teams?
SPOILER: The Canucks have the #3 ranked team on this list.
