Morning Brew: June 6th

So I'm sad to report that Jon and Sean have both been simultaneously obliterated by asteroids. Shame. Most of you may be sad (some I'm certain are celebratory), but Morning Brew must continue! So I guess this will be my inaugural Brew, booyah. Some big shoes to fill. Seeing as how I now have the supreme power of the interconnected network of tubes in my shiny new Kits digs, it's time to get crackin' son.

Speaking of my new pad, it's amazing that I was able to find a place to rent among the throngs of other renters on the market, without encountering any notorious Craiglist scammers. Now, all I need to worry about are these folks. (Thanks to Darryl for that last link. Let's just hope your 360 overheats on them at least. Plus, last laugh's on them when those HD-DVDs depreciate like a rock!)

Next, let's discuss a topic that's pretty dear to my heart: the morning commute. Tomorrow is the last day of the Commuter Challenge! Now that I'm living strategically close to a major bike route, B-Line stops, and an underground parking lot, I have three convenient options for getting my butt to my good ol' tech firm at the crack of dawn: by car, by transit or by bicyclette. Having used all three methods this week, I can safely say that the bus trumps the car, and the bike trumps the bus. But what if the B-Line was a streetcar? (Stella!) And what if bikes ruled the road? (Long video lecture but well worth it) All the more reason to ditch the car like Jody ditched Cindy for Cindy. Thank goodness, some good timing by the Liberals to introduce the Scrap-It program.

So, let's conveniently segway from my move, to another move. This one I'm not so happy about. In fact, I'm pretty fucking appalled and disgusted at the city for allowing one fantastic piece of art, "The Root of All Evil" to relocate. To Cowtown of all places! But hey, our condo owners are king in this city. Let's avoid all conflict and appease the only two or three condo owners that live in Coal Harbour. Jeez, don't our city planners know that the greatest works of public art have always been the most controversial?

Finally (my first MB will need to be a short one, early morning meeting tomorrow!), let's finish 'er off with some fine investigative journalism from everyone's favourite media source.

By the way, I was joking earlier about Sean and Jon (hey, they should start a clothing line together!). Jon's still in Greece downing ouzo shots like that guy downing Jaegerbombs with the new haircut, and Sean's still robbing those men in power suits with his crazy $14 sammichs. Sean's back on Monday...

Hope you liked my first Brew!
