Vote for Rory Helper
December 23rd, 2006 at 1:55pm | 4 CommentsThe NHL web developers have finally improved the captcha system on the NHL All-Star Game voting web site. I say “improved” because they still have not implemented a proper captcha system that prevents automatic voting. It’s quite sad really. Although weak, their changes did manage to break the Rory Vote-O-Matic. It’s fixable but it’s going ... read more »

A letter to those opposed to automatic voting
December 22nd, 2006 at 12:45pm | 3 CommentsI’ve gotten a considerable amount of comments and e-mail demanding that I take down the Rory Vote-O-Matic from this site, stating that it is morally wrong and potentially damaging to the campaign. I don’t agree. Like most people who are first introduced to the Rory campaign, I thought it was hilarious and was instantly drawn ... read more »

Ultimate, Ultimate, and more Ultimate
June 24th, 2006 at 8:56pm | 1 CommentI’ve had an ultimate tournament each of the past two weekends. Two weeks ago it was Flowerbowl here in Vancouver and last weekend it was Solstice in Eugene, Oregon. Blackfish (check out the website I put together for us) did extremely well in Flowerbowl, going undefeated for the tournament. Not bad for our first tourny! ... read more »
