So this was five years in the making but:

Nortel files for banckruptcy

I remember when I was in second year university my economics proof was talking about companies with really deep pockets. Nortel was the example he was using for a company that was obviously failing but kept on going due to really deep pockets. I guess he could of used any of the big three auto manufacturer as an example but Nortel was closer to home. Well the day has finally come, no big suprise really, just that it took so friggin long!

Speaking of randomness, here's Tonestar's top albums of 2008:

1) The Kills - Midnight Boom
2) British Sea Power - Do You Like Rock Music?
3) Elbow - The Seldom Seen Kid
4) M83 - Saturdays = Youth

And I totally agree with that earlier Air Canada statement. I've never seen an airline try so hard to be so consistently mediocre. Although Lufthansa comes close.

Okay random task time again:

Go here and vote for that game mod.

Lets say I got some vested interest.

Matt, I hope they are offering you and AD season's seats now.
