Its time for the obligatory desktop screenshot. I like to think of it as driving my car slowly down main street just after a wax and a new pair of spinning rims - except I don’t have a car, I have a computer.

Gmail Spam in my inbox! GAH!

Over the last week I’ve been getting a ridiculous amount of spam in my Gmail inbox. The account itself has always got a lot of spam, but the Gmail spam filters always got all of it. It was rare to get a real spam in my inbox more than once a month.

Carts of Darkness - Vancouver's Most Extreme Bums

Austin Riba 1 Jan 2009 && [ Bizzare, Entertainment ] && 0 comments

In Carts of Darkness the treacherous mountain roads and discarded shopping carts of North Vancouver become the rivers and boats of self-exploration for a group of homeless ‘free birds’ who have few chances at joy. Carts of Darkness is a cinematic Trojan horse, utilizing a filmic vocabulary, visual flair and humour often missing from “message” films, as a way to bring viewers, especially young ones, to the issues. The film adopts the tropes of extreme sports filmmaking; fluid flowing cinematography, intense music, visceral pulse pounding action and irreverent characters unbounded by society’s constrictions, to bring viewers deep into a world and deep into people they would normally look away from. They’ll come for the carts and the crashes, the booze and the bruises, but they’ll stay for the story of a unique brotherhood and a quiet redemption. - Jonathan Orr
