The 2010 International Chicken-Rib Cookoff starts this Wednesday, June 23, and runs until Sunday, June 27. It also overlaps nicely with the first several days of the Ottawa Jazz Festival, so I'm planning on spending several lunches this week stocking up on barbecue and checking out mid-day shows like Triage on Thursday, and Two x Three on Friday. Aloha, Brad

http://www.luminato.com/2010/events/132 The schedule for the night of June 12 looks pretty cool: Tony Allen was Fela Kuti's drummer from 1968 - 1979. I know the Mr. Something Something guys are charged up to be opening up for him (and Bela), so this should be a great evening. I wish I were in Toronto for it. Aloha, Brad

On Tuesday, June 22, 2010, Kevin Breit (along with guests) will be playing at Hugh's Room in Toronto. This show is a release party for Kevin's new CD, "Simple Earnest Plea." Event info can be found here. Aloha, Brad

I'm running Opera, and haven't noticed any other Flash weirdnesses. Aloha, Brad

And when you try again, what new safeguards will you put in place to ensure you don't again cook all the bacon in a drunken haze and eat the whole pound in a sitting? Aloha, Brad

Aloha, Brad

I noticed the ad covering up the bottom portion of the log-in drop-down (but not the entry boxes for the user name and password, so I was able to log in), and I've also noticed that when I minimize and then restore the browser's window, the ad pops up first, followed by the rest of the browser's window a brief amount of time later, which I haven't seen any other ad do. This makes me think there's something weird about the ad. Aloha, Brad
