NHL team the Calgary Flames honoured their former goalkeeper for 11 season, Mike Vernon, in the ultimate form of appreciation. Vernon, who backstopped the Flames to the Stanley Cup victory in 1989, had his #30 Jersey retired and lifted to the rafters of the Pengrowth Saddledome (replica of the rafter is on left) on Feb 6th. In 1983 Vernon, a native of Calgary, also played plenty of games in the playoffs &took his team to the Stanley Cup finals in 1986 when they lost to Montreal. He was traded to the Detroit Red Wings and won the Cup with them in 1997, after originally being the backup goalie that year. He was then traded to the San Jose Sharks, more for a mentoring role, for two season, and then went to the Florida Panthers & Minnesotta Wild until he came back full circle to Calgary. Now retired, Vernon has a house in Calgary and Victoria, where he has business interests.

Youtube Guitar Maestro
I am feeling too lazy having been at home all day, resting my foot. Anyways, I was browsing through Youtube and found this guy somehow. It seems he once auditioned for Our Lady Peace (after Mike Turner quit and before Steve Mazur joined them) and well, since OLP is one of fav bands, I took a look at his music. Here he is jamming on the blues.
Song for the day – “Blues Jam in E” – ERICK TURNBULL

Free Stuff
I found this a amazing website that gives away free software. It’s called Giveawayoftheday and lets us download and install software for free which we would have to pay for otherwise. The software is free only for a day and you also have to install it before the end of that day. So what are you waiting for – get clicking.
I had downloaded a handy blogging tool that lets me post entries from my desktop by using this application – Post2Blog. The actual cost is $39 but I got it for free. And I just about got it in time – the free offer ran out 12 minutes after I had finished installing it.
