For Christmas Chris’s step-dad sent us a care package full of treats for Rumble. Oh my god! We never have to buy dog treats again I think. There were so many! (Thanks Dave!) And his mom slipped in a nice box of her homemade shortbread cookies. They were delicious and Chris showed a great amount of restraint and made them last 2 days.

One of the other gifts in the box was a super nice (simple) coat for Rumble. We’ve expressed to Dave before that Rumble hates getting wet and with Vancouver Winter upon is, tis the season to be wet.

So we put the coat on Rumble and he froze. No surprise there, he doesn’t handle change or clothing very well. We’ve shown video of him in boots before. Have a look… This is what happened with the coat.

So what’s the miracle you ask?

That was exactly a week ago. As of now, he’s actually walking with his coat on!

Sadly, this proves something bad. It means that anything Rumble doesn’t know and “can’t” learn is either our fault, or simply because he’s hard headed. But that’s not news to anyone who met him.

This came across Twitter this morning and I don’t know who sent it anymore, but I thought it was pretty funny.

25 Hilarious WiFi Network Names (Not safe for work really – no nudity, just words)

For those of you who are not technical, your WiFi network needs a name. The default will be something like Router1234 but you can set it be whatever you want. Mine’s pretty generic and made up of initials. Yawn.

Some people get pretty creative. One of my neighbours has “FuckYouMooch” and another is “ILoveNucks” (Vancouver Canucks that is). The people in the list are WAY more creative and obviously had a lot of trouble with people accessing their network. Enjoy.

Ok, I promise no more Twilight or Taylor Lautner posts after this one. At least for a while. When Eclipse comes out next year and the press starts up again we might see some more.

I was asked how Chris feels about my supposed obsession with Taylor. He knows all about it and usually just rolls his eyes and has another beer. It’s not an obsession. It’s simply an attempt to get people to pay attention to my blog.

After being the witty and film-industry friendly “Untitled Jeff R Project” for about the last 6 years, this blog now has a new name. Yep. I finally picked something worthy of me.

Introducing for the first time ever, anywhere…

The Jeff R Project

6 years in the making, with an estimated cost of $18.93, we’re hoping this will be a big hit with all the fans.

Watch for the press junket. I think I’m on Oprah on Tuesday.

Downtown Vancouver is rapidly becoming Olympic central as you would expect with the games roughly two months away at this point.

One of the features is GIANT, building sized posters or banners or flags or whatever you want to call them. On the building opposite the VAG is a giant Canada flag, which I think Chris has a picture of, but I don’t. I’ll post it one day. Ok, here it is, I got Chris to email it to me. We do love our tech.

On the Hudson’s Bay building there are a series of giant pictures of Canada’s winter Olympic athletes, which is a great way to promote them, make the Bay building look good (nobody will be able to recognize it as the place they shot Blade 3).

The biggest reason I like this particular promotion is because the very first photo I saw was of Olympic cutie Carter Rycroft. I know, I’m a shallow, shallow, looks obsessed person for this and I’m sure I’ll be toasting in hell at some point.

Hey, I’m not saying I don’t think he’s a tremendous athlete or that any non-cute athletes don’t get my support, I’m a big athletic supporter – hey wait…  but it sure helps hold my interest in what they’re up to when they’re adorable at the same time.

I like the whole hot-men-in-speedos aspect of swimming and diving during the summer Olympics, but have you seen Michael Phelps? His face isn’t exactly model quality so I don’t care about it so much.

Anyway, in the mean time. I have a new interest in Canada’s men’s curling team and hope to find some time to watch it over the 2 weeks that Vancouver will become a complete zoo in February 2010. Best of luck Carter. Oh, and everyone else.
