Viva Las Vegas!

Our bags are packed and we’re off to Las Vegas for the 2006 CES. Our flight leaves at 2:15PM and we’ll be landing in Vegas at 4:55PM. There will be a Maybach limo waiting for me at the airport to take us to our penthouse at the MGM Skylofts. However, I won’t be going directly to the suite. Instead I’m […]

Making A Million Dollar On The Net

If you have an envious streak, you probably shouldn’t read this. Because chances are, Alex Tew, a 21-year-old student from a small town in England, is cleverer than you.

Happy New Year!

Making A List And Checking It Twice

Today I put together the guest list for my 2006 CES Party. I’ve received over 200 replies from people wanting to attend the party. Most of these people I invited. Some I didn’t but try to RSVP anyway. Normally, I welcome extra people to come to my parties. After all, the more the merrier, right? However, with the sheer number […]

I Have A Living Room!

I’ve been living at my new house for eight months now and I can’t believe my living room still has absolutely no furniture. Well that all changed today as our Boxing Day shopping continued in full force. We went to Home Décor inside Lansdowne Mall and purchased a four piece living room suite that included a solid wood microfibre sofa, […]

Shop Shop Till You Drop

The day after Christmas is known as Boxing Day. I’m not exactly sure where that term came from but Boxing Day in Canada is like Black Friday in the US. Stores put on an illusion that everything they sell is on sale, when in fact only a few items are deeply discounted and everything else is the same price as […]
