There were three impressive sites selected for the NL Blogroll Entertainment / Media award in the NL Bloggers Choice Awards; GregPike.ca, Product of Newfoundland and Remix 86.

I have been following Product of Newfoundland almost as long as I have been running my own blog and while I only heard about Remix 86 through this award, I am very impressed with their website and I now follow it.

I am honoured that so many visitors from my blog took the time to vote for this blog on NL Blogroll. Thank you all. You rocks.

Oh me nerves! Allan Hawco educates Strombo on how to speak Newfounese

January 10th, 2012

I’ve been engulfed in everyday Newfounese for so much of my life I hardly have any idea I say things that don’t make sense to the rest of the world.

Here are a few popular Newfoundland slang phrases and there meanings.

“Whaddaya at?” = What are you doing?

“Stay where you’re at, I’ll come where you’re to.” = Don’t move, I’m on the way.

“What’s after happening now?” = What just happened?

NTV – Should we regulate backyard fireworks?

January 5th, 2012

I just watched a poll on NTV regarding backyard fireworks. NTV questioned residents about whether they thought there should be regulations on the purchase of fireworks because so many people are buying them.

Many of those interviewed said yes and I think these people are ignorant.

Sure there are safety concerns for anyone who buys fireworks. It’s obviously a buy-at-own-risk type product. But backyard fireworks are so simple to set up it would be hard to any careful user to cause bodily harm.

Personally, I don’t see the difference between regulating fireworks any more than regulating stoves or circular saws. Any of these products bring with them inherit dangers.

One person mentioned that some people are shooting off fireworks as early as 7am and she said there’s no need. She was an older lady who probably never had any children who would enjoy fireworks but may not be able to stay awake until midnight. I think people who shoot fireworks early for their kids are sweet. My parents did it for me a few times when I was young and I remember how happy they made me.

My friends and I have purchased our own fireworks every New Years for almost a decade and not once have we ever had any incident of concern.

Regulating these products would be silly, in my opinion.

Snow on the Battery

December 28th, 2011

The north side of the Narrows in St. John`s is a popular for phototographers because of the beautiful colours of the homes and the contrast of the rocky hill against the ocean. This is the first photo I have seen that includes snow.
