Lego-fied album covers
Oct 26, 2008 Uncategorized
Back in Romania I had (what I at the young age of 10 considered) an extensive collection of Lego. I remember I used to play for hours, making all sorts of space vehicles, castles and police stations all of these trying to mimic the latest Lego set I saw in stores (the ones we could not afford).
The Toyzone has a list of 20 Album Covers Recreated in LEGO. Many of The Beatles’ album covers have been recreated, including Abbey Road:
Check out the article for the other albums.
If you are into Lego, check out this site which has building instructions for (I would say) every Lego set ever released. Awesome!

Canadian “Do Not Call” list
Jul 31, 2008 Uncategorized
Taking after the US Do Not Call Registry, Canada will have its own flavour (a Do Not Call List - DNCL) as of September 30, 2008. Bell Canada was granted a 5 year contract to operate the DNCL in December 2007.
Points of Interest
- You can register any Canadian telephone number be it landline, fax or cell phone.
- To register you will be able to call a toll free number (to be determined), send a fax to a toll free number (TBD) as well as through an online form.
- The registration will be valid for 3 years, after which you will have to enroll again.
- There are exceptions to the DNCL. Entities exempted include:
- registered charities;
- political parties;
- nomination contestants, leadership contestants or candidates of a political party;
- opinion polling firms or market research firms conducting surveys when the call does not involve the sale of a product or service;
- general circulation newspapers calling for the purpose of selling a subscription;
- fines are up to $1,500 for individuals and up to $15,000 for corporations
To get more information about the Canadian DNCL check out the CRTC’s Facts about September 2008 launch of the National Do Not Call List. You can also consult the DNCL website and use it to register once it is open for registration.
I’m glad they have a warning

Though it begs the question: “Why was the warning needed?”
