2K11 24/7

Doomz tackles a major challenge. A year at a time with daily updates!

The 2K11 24/7 CL: Racing the Clock

So a post via BlackBerry while at the airport waiting to board. I goofed up this time, folks - in the rush and whirlwind of getting married, taking care of last-minute items and generally trying to be a good husband (2 days down, tens of thousands to go), I forgot to queue the guest posts. Crap. With that said, I've yet to give up. Expect things to still go on schedule as I scour Paris to figure out a way to get everything sorted out. Not the way I expected to post on the 150th day of blogging, but what can I say? Life throws you some serious curveballs sometimes. You'll hear from me soon. Count on it. --Casey E. Palmer 150/365

Funny Moments 2009: Doomz on the News

(download)

Going over some random and humorous things that occured to yours truly in 2009 - like the time where Sarah and I lost our trip to the Bahamas due to Conquest Vacations going under, and after some ranting and raving on Twitter about the whole deal, Muhammad Lilla, a reporter from CBC news asked if I'd be available for an interview.

Several emails and a couple of phone calls later, we'd set up at a parkette close to work and the new was shot.

I eagerly awaited seeing myself on the 6 o'clock local news, but nothing came up. Figuring that it had been scrapped, I went off to do other things.

Until the phone calls and emials started coming in.

6:30 pm: Dude! You're on the Ottawa news!

9 pm: Casey, what're you doing on the National?!

11 pm: What! Why're you on my TV in British Columbia?!
