Ok, it all happened at Buckingham Palace. Last summer I took Hazel on a European tour for our 5 year anniversary. Our first stop was London, where we stayed for about 4 days. On the last day, we did a bus tour of the city. Our hotel was just across the park from Buckingham Palace so we got off there to see the palace and walk back to our hotel to get our bags and catch a train to Paris.
At the palace gate I asked Hazel to take a picture of me: http://www.webcamcash.com/stuff/ambush/london2.jpg Then Hazel got it into her head that it would be funny to take a picture of me pretending to climb the palace gate. I thought it was funny too and it seemed harmless enough: http://www.webcamcash.com/stuff/ambush/london3.jpg Unfortunately this man did not agree: http://www.webcamcash.com/stuff/ambush/london4.jpg If you think the Palace Guards never speak or move YOU ARE WRONG! Suddenly I heard a scream of "OI!" coming from inside the gate and turned to see the guard above charging at me, bayonet poised for the kill. I leaped from the gate and we started walking away as innocently as possible. Every tourist was taking pictures of the charging guard but somehow none of them noticed it was me that set him off. Then the guard did a about-face and returned to his post. We thought we got away with it so we continued walking around Buckingham Palace and took a few more pictures before we started to head towards the park to get back to our hotel. As we approached the Canadian Gate (coincidentally enough) I noticed a London policeman heading directly towards us. I told Hazel to keep walking but pretty soon this copper caught up with us and ordered us to stop. A few seconds later even more coppers showed up in a squad car and separated me and Hazel for questioning. This was just a few weeks after the London subway bombings so London was still on high alert. We thought it was pretty funny but the cops didn't and we didn't want to piss them off and miss our train to Paris. They figured out pretty quickly that I was just a tourist pulling a stupid stunt and not an international terrorist, but they told me they had to file a report anyway because (in their words) "they'd never seen a palace guard charge at someone before." One of the less-impressed coppers asked me what would happen if I had tried to climb the Parliament buildings in Canada to which Hazel replied "probably nothing." By the end of it all even they thought the whole incident was quite funny. Anyway looooong story short we made it to the train station on time and I got this awesome souvenir of our trip to London: http://www.webcamcash.com/stuff/ambush/ticket.jpg I am sure that I have a record with British Intelligence. Next time I return to England I will probably be searched at the border and lucky to get into the country. And worst of all they wrote on the ticket that I have "untidy" hair! B |

I'm sure I will always live here but a second home in Florida would sure be nice. I'm still working on that. Not just because for the sunshine but also because we have a close friends there. More things I love about Toronto: 1. The Maple Leafs! 2. Summertime 3. Living downtown 4. Uncle D 5. Porn Alley 6. Rush-hour traffic (wait, cancel that one) 7. Sugar Mountain 8. Sushi Time 9. The Raptors B |

When Hazel and I were married 6 years ago, we moved into a condo in downtown Toronto, at Bay & Dundas (near the Eaton Center). We had lived in the suburbs our whole lives and really wanted to try downtown living. I have to admit we are hooked! I can't imagine living anywhere else. However Hazel has other plans for when we have kids. When we moved in over 5 years ago, we were still working at home, so for about a year or two our home was the World Headquarters for WebcamCash. Fortunately we've been able to expand into an office since then, because it was getting really crowded in there. It is not the biggest condo -- big condos are hard to come by in downtown Toronto -- but you can't beat the location. We are walking distance to the office, which is also downtown, not to mention we are just steps from nearly any kind of restaurant, shopping or entertainment. Plus every once in a while there is a shooting on Yonge Street and we can hear the gunfire from our window. How can you beat that? It's AWESOME! :BangBang: Because of our location, our condo is often the unofficial after-hours hangout for webmaster events in Toronto. And it didn't hurt that we lived just two blocks from the show hotel at the last Webmaster Access. I love it when I can attend a show and still sleep in my own bed. :sleep B |
[B]Barry and Hazel said am allowed to post now LOL. Everything I think of comes out sappy, cheesy or incrimidating so I was told to lay off for a bit!
I was given the best opportunity in the world and took it and ran with it. Thank you Barry and Hazel! So with that being said. Barry and Hazel are really cool to work for. The dynamic between the two is amazing. Never ask me who is the boss in that relationship because I don't even know. LOL I dont know how they work 10 hours a day together and go home to each other, its beyond me. I don't even like myslef that much after a long day. lol 10 things you didnt know about Barry untill now!! 1.He has never ever raised his voice to me. Every time I got in shit and rightyfully so most of the time, Barry doesn't have to say much, his body lauguange speaks volumes 2. He takes his staff out at least once a month! We have been to almsot every summer blockbuster movie, The Blue Man Group, Mid evil Times, Canada's Wonderland(our version of disney land), Helicopter rides above the CN tower adn thats just to name a few! 3. Barry lets me play my music as loud as I want and has never complained once. Let me tell you. I rock out hard! LOL 4. Barry took me away from my family and freinds to work in Toronto. The best thing that ever happened to me. LOL HI MOM !!!!!!!! KISSES!! 5. Barry picked out my apt thats in the heart of the gay district. Funny joke Barry! RAW RAW!! 6. Barry imposed the WebcamCash curse on me. It's a proven fact and has happened to 90% of the staff at WebcamCash. One you will lose your wallet and Two your girlfreind/boyfreind will break up with you. HAHAH sad but true! 7. Barry hates a dirty keyboards. I go thu keyboards like no tommorrow! 8. Barry lets me play my drums in the office 9. Barry has never ever given me shit about being to imparied at a show. How cool is that! 10.Barry sees the value of education and out me thru some of the most dynamic and exciting courses Toronto has to offer. I got more but it looks like I'm ass kissing. LOL |

I love sponsoring events! Most recently we sponsored a tour of the USS Midway Aircraft Carrier at Cybernet Expo: http://www.webcamcash.com/ussmidway/. We did the same tour last year at the last minute and it was such as success that we did it again. Here are the FUBAR pics: http://www.fubarwebmasters.com/current/sd06/j/j1.htm http://www.fubarwebmasters.com/curre...6/j/z04561.jpg We also held a last-minute suite party at the recent Webmaster Access here in Toronto. If the definition of a party's success is how fast it gets shut down by security then we had the most popular party at the show! :) http://www.fubarwebmasters.com/curre...o06/14/141.htm Here is Sunny Leone and Eric Red Eyes enjoying a drink in the suite: http://www.fubarwebmasters.com/curre.../14/z02482.jpg We used to sponsor more parties but haven't lately because we feel we can get more bang for our buck with sponsorships like keycards, FUBAR... etc. Our first party ever is still my favorite: when the Webmaster Summit was in Toronto back in 2003 we wanted to be good hosts so we held a DOUBLE party, starting at the Hard Rock Cafe where Brent Stewart's band Brass Knuckle Therapy blew everyone away, then we limoed everyone to the Brass Rail Strip club for free drinks and lap dances (not free :)). Brent's band has a huge biker following and to this day ours is the only industry party I know of where half the attendees were genuine Hell's Angels. FUBAR pics: http://www.fubarwebmasters.com/archi.../hardrock1.htm. Here is my favorite pic: http://www.fubarwebmasters.com/archi...k/Img00259.jpg What sponsorships are coming up for WebcamCash? You'll just have to wait and see! B |
CanI tell you how funny the Buckingham Palace thing is? That's the first time I've seen the ticket! lol

I have always been a computer nerd. Back in high school I attended Sir Sandford Fleming Secondary School where I was a computer room monitor. I learned to program there and have been loving it ever since. I also met my first girlfriend there. Here is a pic: http://www.loadsmorestuff.com/images/c64_screen.gif I graduated from the University of Toronto in 1994 (I think) with an Honours Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science. And it only took me 6 years to finish my 4-year degree! :Oh crap Basically it took me a year to choose a major, then I took another half year off to "find myself" :upsidedow and finally I returned to school as a Computer Science major. As for cheating on exams, I swear it wasn't me! Well, at least that's what I told my professor. :) Let's just say that Computer Science majors should not be expected to study Psychology. Sometimes there just isn't enough time to study and if the guy sitting next to me during the exam knows the correct answers, why shouldn't I be allowed to take advantage of his superior knowledge? I thought we students were SUPPOSED to help each other out but my prof didn't see it that way. Kids, stay in school!!! B |
