Hey, come visit my new website!

Made a hockey website. Please visit http://www.hockey-basics.com for all your hockey needs! Send questions to info@hockey-basics.com if you have any hockey questions or any suggestions for my website.

So long, blogspot. Well not really.

I know I don't get that much visitors but I would like to say I only started doing this to see If I could get into this. And I can say for sure I want to do this which is why I'm going to be making a .com site instead. I'm not sure what the main focus of it will be on, hopefully I can figure that out within a few days and then move onto creating my website. Thanks to anyone who actually visited my blog, I will also be getting a new twitter. I'll be keeping this blog up though. Maybe post on it once and a while after my website is up and running.

UFC 101 Tonight

Make sure to watch UFC 101 tonight and check my blog after to read my thoughts. Feel free to leave comments below.

Edit: Just follow my Twitter on the right

Bud Light Lime

I finally got my hands on this beer. For some reason my town only gets small shipments of it, and whenever I try to purchase some they are sold out. Finally today I was able to snag a 12 pack. For those who still haven't tried it, maybe this small review will help you decide if you should even bother.

I just finished having my second about 5 minutes ago and that is all I need to give a review...

The first sip of the beer was pretty damn good. Very refreshing and that perfect hint of lime in the beer. Honestly the first sip of this beer is amazing and it was the same for the second bottle. The tastes continues through the whole beer. It still obviously has that beer taste which is a must. If you don't like to constantly buy lime mix and put it in your beer then go with Bud Light Lime.


Great beer, Bud!

Oh, Vanessa Hudgens..

If you live under a rock then you might know by now that Vanessa Hudgens nude photo's have been leaked again. It's not hard to find them, quickly search google. I mean, don't you think she learned from the first time? She probably leaks them herself which would be no suprise. I'm not complaining though, this is why the internet is great.

UFC 101 and Flip HD Cam

I said I would have a Flip HD Cam review up in a couple of days. I haven't been able to finish it up because I have become too busy. Sometime this week it'll be up. UFC Fans, get prepared for this saturday as UFC 101 is live! I honestly can't wait for the Silva vs Griffin fight. Catch me thoughts of the fights the next morning. Or I might just blog it through my iPhone as I go along.

A Smoke filled Summer

It's now August and I can't remember a Summer here where there was nothing but smoke in the sky. Here in the Okanagan (located in BC, Canada), we have head terrible forest fires. Recently a fire that has been burning for a good part of 3 weeks now has expanded. Every single day when you walk outside you can smell smoke, and look at the sky, just covered in smoke. At night time, when the sun is going down, the town turns pink. Somehow, the smoke, clouds and other things cause the sunlight to shine down pink everywhere.

It would be nice for it to clear up before the summer is over, but the terrace mountain fire seems to be out of control. If anyone is interested at looking at pictures, go to http://www.castanet.net

Flip Cam HD

The Flip cams have been in the US for a while and now Canada finally has some. I will be going out to purchase one of the HD ones today. I should have a review up in the next couple of days.

Drake injured on stage.

According to reports, Rapper Drake has been injured while performing. Reports saying he was performing "Best I Ever Had", during the performance, he went for a spin move, his already injured knee could not handle and he fell down.

As you can see in the image, he was in so much pain, he could not keep his head up. Let's hope for a speedy recovery!

The dissolving bikini?

A German company has invented a marvelous new bikini that disappears once a girl puts it on and takes a swim.

The sexy swimsuit disappears by dissolving in water, leaving a woman completely nude and embarrassed. The sexy black swimsuit looks like a real bikini, feels like a real bikini and fits like a real bikini. The only difference is it’s made from a material that completely melts away after a few seconds in water.

The future is sure looking great.

A little beef with UPS

I ordered a package Sunday night. I had it set for overnight delivery, the package was shipped late Monday, and by 6am wednesday morning was in my hometown and "Out for delivery". I never received my package yesterday and was a little PO'd. Because I spent most of my day waiting for the package. So I send them an email late in the night and I get an email in the morning tell me: "Your package has been rescheduled for next tuesday. The package will have to be in transit for 4 days before getting to your house."

I live in a smaller town, and when the package is in my hometown, I don't think it takes 4 days to get it to me. I check the tracker this morning and it shows "Destination Scan" in my Hometown. How does it go from out for delivery to destination scan?

Not even 15 minutes ago, I hear a knock on the door. It's not UPS, it's Purolator. I was confused, but whatever, I got my package.

iPhone 3gs Review

First off, I've never owned an iPhone previous to this one, so be easy, k? Thanks.

The iPhone 3gs is an amazing phone. Let's get on to what the s means. Speed.

I previously owned a Blackberry and the speeds between the two are quite substantial. Apps take around 2 seconds to load, while games will take around 5-8. There is no waiting with this phone. What really wowed me with its speed is the trimming tool for your videos. It's amazingly fast, and you can upload videos directly to youtube from your iPhone.

Now video quality. I understand that the camera angle in the video below is a bit weird, but you can still judge the quality of the video. For a phone, this is some great quality video. Great for vlogging and capturing randoms moments with your friends and such.




Let's move onto sounds quality. The speaker from the phone has some decent quality sounds. I wouldn't recommend this for listening to music, use the headphone that came with it. You can turn it up quite loud which is nice? What annoys me is that the speakers are located at the bottom of the phone (where you plug in the usb). Now the reason this annoys me the fact that if I'm playing a game and I have to hold the phone sideways, my fingers seems to block the speakers a little bit to where I slightly hear the sound of the game. Sometimes even blocking the sounda altogether.

Even though the battery life is a bit longer than the other iPhones, switching from a Blackberry to an iPhone, I noticed that the iPhone's battery life is quite short. It's fine if you just talk on the phone or text. But if you go about playing games, browsing the net and using applications, the iPhone's battery can be low 3/4 of the way through the day. Also, when playing games or taking video and trimming it, I notice the back of the iPhone can get really warm. I'm pretty sure most of you know by now that the 3gs has some overheating issues. Especially with the white casing on the back, which I have. I was going to buy the black one, but they were sold out. Anyways, if you do own the one with the white casing on the back, beware that parts of the white casing can turn green or brown. I have not yet experienced this and I really hope I don't.

A couple new features that they brought to the iPhone 3gs were the compass and the voice control. The compass is a neat feature, but I don't use it, but it's fun to play with from time to time. The voice control is a great feature too. I only use it for telling my phone to play music by a certain artist or when I'm driving. For example, to play a song by Lupe Fiasco, just say "Play songs by Lupe Fiasco." You have to be clear, the voice control can sometimes play a different artist. I'm not a fan of driving and talking on my phone at the same time, but if I need to make a phone call, the voice control feature comes in handy because I don't need to worry about looking for the contact in my phone. I simply say "Call Corey."

Overall the iPhone 3gs is fantastic. I don't recall the last time I could do pretty much anything from my phone. If you don't own an iPhone, go ahead and do yourself a favor and buy one. Go with the 3gs though. The video recording and the speed alone should win you over.

If you have and questions, post them in the comments and I'll try to answer them as soon as possible.

Fedor Emelianenko, UFC closing in on a deal?

After visiting the blog http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/sports_blog/ and finding this news story, I can't help but get excited. Brock Lesnar vs Fedor Emelianenko would be the greatest UFC fight of all time. Being a big fan of UFC this would be a dream come true.

Unfortunately, after further investigating of this story, I came across http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/mma/07/28/Emelianenko.Octagon/index.html

Don't get your hopes up yet, folks.

I still believe a deal will get done sometime in August. I honestly don't see a deal happening by Friday here.

Stuff, some more stuff, and uh. Just read.

Why hello there! Somehow you came across this blog. I don't even know how but you did. Now don't turn away, you have made a great discovery! If you're wondering what this blog is going to be about. Well let me just tell you eh?

This blog is going to be about almost anything I guess? I'll be posting my thoughts on current news stories, random videos from my day (once I get a camera), and some reviews on things I've bought. Don't miss my iPhone 3gs review in a couple days! There will be a lot more things I'll post about it, so don't get worried there!

Anyways, I'm out.

I also made a twitter account for the first time ever. So go ahead and check it out. Follow me if you want, I'll follow you back.
