Summer’s here…..someone should tell Mother Nature;)
June 21st, 2008 by sstevensGood morning.
Today is officially the first full day of summer. Seems hard to believe…..both time and weather-wise. I haven’t checked the forecast yet this morning. I don’t imagine it’s changed lots since yesterday. What’s up for your weekend? We jumped on the motorcycles yesterday afternoon and headed down to Queen’s Quay. The Tall Ships are docked downtown. The Bluenose 2 is part of the display. Yesterday, they were taking tourists out for a jaunt on the lake. Pretty fantastic to watch.
We did ’sexy bingo’ yesterday. If you missed it, lucky you;) It is a little weird….the code was G48. The code from the countdown this morning was contract. The show included a bunch of ‘riders’ from different rock bands. Remember the Van Halen story? The guys making some poor sucker remove a certain colour of M&M’s from a bowl? It’s stuff like that, but, more recent. We took a look at the Foo Fighters, Marilyn Manson and Limp Bizkit.
Enjoy your weekend…..I’m going to see if I can beat the rain to the gym on my bike…..thanks for stopping by!

Are you a snoop?? Have you been snooped upon?
June 20th, 2008 by sstevens
ONE IN THREE IT STAFF SNOOPS ON COLLEAGUES: One in three information technology professionals abuses administrative passwords to access confidential data such as colleagues’ salary details, personal emails or board-meeting minutes. U.S. information security company Cyber-Ark surveyed 300 senior IT professionals, and found that one-third admitted to secretly snooping, while 47 percent said they had accessed information that was not relevant to their role.
Cyber-Ark said privileged passwords get changed far less frequently than user passwords, with 30 percent being changed every quarter and 9 percent never changed at all, meaning that IT staff who have left an organization could still gain access.
Additionally, the survey found that seven out of 10 companies rely on outdated and insecure methods to exchange sensitive data, with 35 percent choosing email and 35 percent using couriers, while 4 percent still relied on the postal system.
Keep in mind, the results of the subject above is from an American firm. I know that in my office, we update our passwords religiously……as prompted by our ‘intranet’ system.
My question to you…..have you ever snooped in someone’s email??? At work? At home? I will admit it, I have done it in the past. At home. Was living with someone….I was suspicious of something….I was right. There was a whole lot of inappropriate going on. In retrospect, am I glad I did….yes, the relationship would’ve ended anyway, that just sped up the process…..
Feel free to share your thoughts…..or stories…..change the names to protect the innocent, you know, ‘I have this friend who did that’…we’re cool with that too:)
I’ll update my blog over the weekend with some codes. I’m home this weekend….finally…..after two away, so I feel like I owe you:)
Thanks for stopping by,

The Girls…..
June 19th, 2008 by sstevensI thought I’d add a photo from the Sis’ wedding…..don’t tell her. She may not be thrilled that there’s a pic of her on a radio station website….really:)
The girls on the outside of us are a pair of sisters that we grew up with, Kim and Kelly. We’re not related to them, but, we may as well be. Those are the girls that I’ve pinky sworn with, told all my secrets to and laughed till it hurt with…..the girl to my left, in yellow, Kelly….her favorite story to tell is how I once ate a dog biscuit to stop her from crying……thank God for friends like them….I hope you have some of those people in your life.
Flashback……what was your fave cereal as a kid? Making a top 5 list for the TV countdown show….
Cap’n Crunch?
Frosted Flakes?
Fruity Pebbles?
Use ’sugar’ as a bonus code.
Thanks for stopping by.

Sounds like we’ve got a hot one on the way for the weekend…..

Don’t make me pull this car over…..
June 5th, 2008 by sstevensFather’s Day is next weekend and we have a super cool prize for your Dad…..the use of a Ferrari 360 Spyder for the weekend…..wow eh? I would loooove that. Many of us have dream cars that we’d love to take for a tear…..that leads me to the question, are you driving a car you love? What would you drive given no budget? Corvette? Lamborghini? MG? Mercedes? Cadillac? Smart car? hah….just trying to see if you were paying attention:)
Use nicecar as a Jack Nation bonus code.
What are your favorite summer drinks? Compiling a list to send to the folks at the tv show…..mine change…..I’d have to say though, the top has to be a big cold beer in a frosty glass…..or a gin and tonic….or a mojito…or….ah, I’ll leave it up to you.
As mentioned…..must see….

Cameos…..
May 29th, 2008 by sstevens
After all the chatter about the Muppet Show, we were talking about tv cameos here. The list we want to compile for the tv countdown is called ‘Top 5 Rockstar TV Cameos’….Alice Cooper on The Muppets is where that idea came from. What were/are your fave rockstar tv cameos?
The TV countdown will be of interest to REM fans….we’ve got tix to give away with the show on Saturday. It’s on City TV at 4pm.
Enjoy the sun if you can today…..check out this email….funny:
Hi Sam. I was listening to your show at work today. Like I do every day when I’m working in range of your station. I work in construction and run heavy equipment. Anyway, I had broken my machine at work and I got to go home early today. The whole point of this email? The song that had just started playing when I noticed something wrong? “Another One Bites The Dust”. Thanks for the day off. lol. See ya on the radio…
Dear J…..How about I play ‘Lager and Ale’ for you tomorrow?:)
Use the word ‘cameo’ for some extra JN points.
Thanks for stopping by!
