Apple Releases 'iPad'

Steve Jobbs announced today that the iPad is going to change the way people use computers. I thought the iPhone was supposed to do that? Well, it certainly did for me! It has a nearly 10-inch screen, runs existing apps from the Apple apps store and is available in 16-gigabyte, 32-gigabyte and 64-gigabyte version.... the basic version of the iPad will cost just over $500…. And you can also get an internet plan with the iPad.. which will cost about $130 per month… Would you buy it?

The world media is getting ready to focus on Vancouver next month for the Winter Games. All the venues are ready to be used, athletes are arriving in the city in preparation for the games. All Vancouver needs is a little snow on the mountains. The city has been plagued with warm temperatures since the start of the New Year. Olympic planners are currently bringing snow down from high elevations on the mountain. Snow or no snow, the games will kick off February 12th in Vancouver.

Goodbye, CoCo

Conan O’Brien signed off from the Tonight Show, not by choice last Friday. Only after 7 months, NBC and Conan parted ways because NBC wanted to push back Conans show half and hour to make way for Jay Leno. But, Conan said no and his depature was negotiated. He gets about $32 million dollars and $12 is split between his staff…


There are plenty of Hollywood stars falling off the face of the earth, and most of the time they’re the celebrities we don’t really care much about… But Andy Dick just keeps coming back for more… He was arrested last weekend and charged with two counts of sexual abuse. He's accused of grabbing a bouncer's crotch and groping and kissing a male patron at a bar in the US. He’s out of jail on a sixty thousand dollar bail…

It was amazing to see all the stars that participated in George Clooney’s Help For Haiti Now special last Friday and millions of people phoned in and raised over 57 million dollars for relief efforts in Haiti. You can donate online @ http://www.worldvision.ca/ and http://www.recross.ca/ Remember, every time you donate the Government of Canada matches your donation.

I wasn’t surprised to see Brad and Angelina might be breaking up in a get this CNN breaking news alert. It’s pretty sad when a company like CNN considers that breaking news. What do you think about the whole Brad and Angie story? Do you believe it? Or, could you care less? I wanna know! Post a comment on this blog post.

Would you view a funeral via Webcast?

Today's Economy has hit a lot of people in the pocket book. And, funeralresource.co has created a whole new way to save on a funeral. Instead of your family gathering in a church or a funeral home to pay their last respects, the service to pay your last respects would be held online. All you would need is a high speed internet connection to attend the service.

“Let’s face it, today the economy is tough,” notes Chris Hill, FuneralResouces.com founder, on the company's website.

But, this draws a line, in my opinion. Is it convience or a little creepy that a funeral service would be broadcast on the internet?

You be the judge.

Whistler-Blackcomb in trouble?

I turned on the news this afternoon and was shocked to learn that Whistler-Blackcomb, which is owned by Intrawest will auctioned off Februrary 19th. Apparently, Intrawest missed a huge debt payment last fall. How much you say? Just over half a billion dollars. And, as of today Intrawest and the lenders are in talks to hopefully drag out the payments until late 2015. VANOC says their contract with Whistler-Blackcomb is still valid and expect the portion of the Vancouver 2010 Olympics to go on in Whistler with no problem. Still, with just under a month to go until the games it was a little scary hearing this news.


You buy gifts for birthdays, anniversaries and even the odd occasion, but would you but a gift for someone who has just been recently divorced? Well, believe it or not… its become the new thing to do…. But my question is how much would you spend on the gift and what exactly makes a good “congratulations you’ve been divorced” gift? Maybe some personal lube for those lonely, cold nights? Or a vibrator? I'd love to know what you would get someone who has been recently divorced...


Music festivals have been become huge over the past 20 years, but some of them are quickly fading away. When I lived in merritt last year, had the chance to attend the final merritt mountain music festival… don’t judge me for liking country music…. Just something you have to listen to when in the part of the country. And now another popular festival might not becoming back… In 2008.. the festival brought over 40,000 people to the small patch of farmland in a town just north of whistler, bc… and had acts like Cold play, Jay Z and Tom Petty.. The Pemberton Festival has been cancelled, again. Last year it was cancelled because the organizers couldn’t get permits to host the festival in the area quick enough. And this years’ festival was cancelled because it didn’t seem financially viable for the festival to take place.

Lookin' like a fool with your pants on the ground!

Did you catch American Idol earlier this week? If you did, you would know General Larry Platt's audition of his song 'Pants on the Ground' has gone viral. If not, here's your chance to see the video everyone has been talking about. I'm thinking this song will be remix, remastered and repayed on stations around the world sometime this week.

It appears the Conan O'Brien vs. Jay Leno saga is almost over, almost. All parties at NBC have been in closed door meetings the past few days hoping to have a deal worked out before the weekend is out. The packaged deal Conan could walk away with is reported to be at over $40 million dollars. I would love to work for a company that paid me that much to "stop working" But, I also bought a Lotto Max last night. The jackpot was $10 million, but I did not win.

Big news out of China yesterday. Google is getting tired of censoring, so the company is thinking of pulling out of China ASAP. But that means other companies that are willing to 'censor' content in China will fill the void of Google, but will they?

Lots of cash has been raised for relief efforts in Haiti. There are still many Canadians missing. The last report I read was six dead with over 1400 missing. There are still many ways you can donate to the relief efforts. Come on, Canada! The US has raised over $11 million dollars so far! Dig out your cell phones, credit cards and start donating!


Enjoy your Saturday!

Friday Notes

What a gong show! The war of wards continued last night on soon-to-be-cancelled 'Jay Leno Show' last night with Jimmy Kimmel on as a guest. I don't think Jay realized he would even think about taking jabs about him vs. Conan. But, he did. It appears now that Jay will now be getting his 11:35pm time slot back, while Conan is left collecting a big pay cheque. I heard he'll be getting a nice $40 mil and will be able to persue other opportunities as NBC will be shreding up his so-called contract. Conan took a job at NBC last night putting 'The Tonight Show' on craigslist.

You would think peope who are hired by NASA to build space ships and such would be drug free, right? WRONG! NASA officials found a bag of Cocaine in their HQ. Maybe one of the workers was jelous that he couldn't fly into space? But he was definately 'flying high' while working.

It's award show season! The Golden Globes will be broadcast around the world this Sunday. Are the Golden Globes better than the Oscars? Some think so..

It's a sad thing to even think about, but there are people out there that want your donations you're making towards to Haiti relief efforts. Make sure you only donate to credited relief organiations.

I'm working hard on the first 'Jamie Trevor Radio Show' It's going to be great! I can't wait! It'll be heard on numerous online radio stations, if you want to find a station that will be airing show the show, check out http://www.jamietrevorradioshow.com/listen.html

Have a great weekend!
