Ben on Blogs: Friday, June 6

I wasn’t as busy around the blogosphere this week as I’ve been settling into some new responsibilities. I should be able to pick up the slack as long as my creeping-ever-closer house date doesn’t PWN me (three weeks to go).

Must Love Geek
…This conversation, on the other hand, took place an hour after I returned home with my HTC Touch, notably from some of the same creators as the iPhone. Like a Bucci or Dolce & Havana purse, it manages to serve the same purpose and look pretty similar, but no it isn’t quite the real deal. Still, I can’t help but love my new phone… Review: HTC Touch

The Talk @ Infomonkey
…With the apparent return of the spokesperson through brands like Apple, UPS and Presidents Choice, I started wondering if we had any truly relevant branded spokespeople here… Halifax’s Next Top Spokesperson

…1o1.3: The Bounce. Ugh. Bad start. I hate the name. It’s trying to be too “funky fresh” or “phat”. Give it up… Battle for the airwaves

…Yes, trying to manage crazed radio call-in listeners would actually be great experience in trying to keep a handle on the mayor, who is nothing if not spirited when the cameras aren’t rolling… Do the old boys’ club shuffle!

For the rest of you, enjoy the view of where I play on my lunch hours. There’s a line of beautiful trees with incredible pink blooms (for no more than two weeks) just before the summer every year. They had already started to fade today so I figured I’d grab some shots on the new phone including a Calvin cameo.

That petal just moved and I’m pissed about it.

I can’t wait until I reach that stage with Bobby’s mom. I’m there with his sister, and we give him so much shit, but I have as of yet to get there with his mom. I’m so happy for your blooming relationship.

Having the ability to gang up on the newf with his mother – that’s absolutely priceless.

You smell bad and you look funny? I don’t think I would have taken that well.

She sounds fantastic. You are quite lucky– I have a feeling in the pit of my stomach that if I ever get married I’ll get suck with the worst MIL in the world.

The universe hates me.

MIL is such a weird acronym for Mother In Law.

“You smell bad and look funny”.

Possibly my favorite insult ever. Just mean enough to be hilarious, not so mean as to be scarring.

You’re commonlaw married to my male counterpart, living in Canada. No doubt about it.
