bad, bad, bad guest blogger
It’s good that Daniel has been keeping you in the loop with his latest vacationary goodness, because Shel… Shel has been not so good.
I’m a bad guest blogger.
It’s easier to sneak in a post during breaks at the 9-5 Monday thru Friday job, but the weekends, well, they can be a bit of a zoo. Saturdays, I drive and wash cars for a VW dealership. And then there’s obligatory time with the Rikz. And Sunday was rather action-packed - I had a Canada Day Party!!
Yes, July 1st is Canada Day, where Canadians celebrated our 160th anniversary of fighting off the Zombie American Hordes of 1867. It was a glorious battle, when Diefenbaker led the troops to glorious victory, only to die himself when, in the last few moments of the battle, a zombified Sir John A MacDonald pulled Dief out of his artillery tank and ate his brains.
Victory was had, however, when Laura Secord jumped into the fray and pureed them both.
So we celebrated by doing the Canada Day Zombie shuffle. It was lots of fun.
I see Daniel was able to update you on SYTYCD, which I was unable to as he sent it during my busy spree (SO SORRY SO SO SORRY DANIEL), and lessee, Paris hasn’t done anything exciting except go surfing, so I’ll just wrap this post up!
Ta! Happy belated Canada Day!

A world map of social networking applications
Here’s a map that shows the dominant social networking application per country.
It’s interesting to note that Canada prefers Facebook, while the US prefers MySpace. Intriguing!

Geekily Green!
Hullo. It’s Shel from orangelounge.ca again! I’ve been doing some research on appropriate blog topics for dp.com. As much as this whole Paris hubaballoo is on the nation’s psyche at the moment, I’m not an expert and I afear that Daniel will whoop my ass if I get fully vocal on this topic. Anyhoo…
Green shopping bags have been all the rage lately on dp.com, and I managed to find a great deal of geekery goodness to encourage everyone to be more green!
For example, take this lovely pen holder constructed out of 3.5” floppy discs. You can also use those unwanted discs for making a hawt messenger bag (a project I want to take on myself…).
For the iPod crowd, you can also build yourself a reusable/rechargable USB charger to boost up your iPod on the go! And speaking of all things Apple, and the pentultimate of geekery… I present to you the MacPack!

Phew!
Keeping up with two blogs on a daily basis is a tough chore, let me tell you!
It’s Shel again from orangelounge.ca, keeping things going around here at dp.com. I had spent some time earlier doing important research to keep things on topic, but I am currently on Rikz’s (the manfriend’s) computer, and therefore I cannot post anything whatsoever on Paris Hilton.
I’m sorry, Daniel. I’ve failed you! I’m a terrible guest blogger.
However, I can fill you in on an important tidbit: I went back to the gym tonight! After two months of not going and gaining back ALL the weight I lost. Boo :( However, I expected to have a pair of burning lungs after 20 minutes of cardio, but I was only a bit out of breath. And really sweaty.
Rikz enjoyed that part a lot. :D But I’ll stop before I get too TMI for you.
Anyways, dear dp.com readers, I hope I can keep you sufficiently entertained in Daniel’s absence. I miss him already!
An undercaffinated post…
This is Shel from orangelounge.ca, making sure things are proportionally represented here in the domicile.
Holler!
OK, I admit, I’m not as cool as Daniel. He’s all up to date with the things you kids love these days, and I’m a bit of a picky bastard, to be frank. But to start you off today, a 16 year old kid taking Bill O’Reilly to task. (via uffish)
(I know, it borders on the political, but it’s quite funny to see O’Reilly backpedal so fast)
