If you wander over this web site, you'll find a pretty neat Bush custom speech generator. Bored of his state of the unions? Now's your chance to write your own. They need to add a few more words to his vocab to make him sound more intelligent, but you can say the same about real Bush as well. Save your own and share 'em with the world!

Ok, I know Valentine's Day was on Tuesday but this was too good to pass up. The folks at somethingawful.com decided to have a Photoshop contest. The goal was to make the best Star Wars themed Valentine's Day cards.

The one see you above was pretty good but there's a lot more to see in the rest of the entries. Check them out here.

Another Winter Olympics Games have started as most of you know. After moving venues from North America, the world has gathered in Italy. For people living in Pacific Standard Time, the time difference is a real bitch to deal with.

Italy is nine hours ahead of PSTers which makes it tough to watch most morning events unless you're unemployed or work weird hours. Consider that when it's 11am in Italy (a good time for most events to start), it's 2am here in Vancouver.

The Canadian men's hockey team will play their first game at 4am Vancouver time. It's likely that by the time you're reading this, the game will be over and done with by several hours. A part of me wants to stay up to watch just a little bit of the game. I just want to see the boys in their jerseys for a few minutes, maybe watch 'em get a comfortable lead. This would probably make work a writeoff the next day and that wouldn't be too professional.

When the Nagano games were on in 1998, I was an unemployed bum so I watched all the games live on TV, in all their 2am glory. Man, those were heady times... heady times indeed. I'm also envious of university students, who can stay up late and just skip classes the next day.

I have to say, all you EST people, those three hours do make a difference. For you guys, the hockey game is a 7am start, almost reasonable.

Well, I better head off to bed... hmm.... just three more hours to go... I wonder...

It's time again for my Valentine's Day post. Last year, I wrote how I was going to spend the evening making a nice meal for myself, watching some TV, masturbating until exhaustion, and then playing video games for the rest of the night. The year before that, I declined to make a post. And before that, I showed you how to make your own Valentine candy.

This year, just in time for Valentine's Day, I'd like to point out that I made it into the first annual Lunch at the Village awards, brought to you by Greg Williams. I didn't actually win an award but there's an actual category for me: most amusing reference to Erwin Tang. Go see for yourself!

I'm sorry for the inconvenience but the servers here at et.com HQ were down starting sometime on Sunday morning. Everything seems to be working fine now.
