New mcSandwiches, courtesy of yours truly

There was first the McGangbang (not my invention), but one I stand by wholeheartedly.  After being inspired by this beast, I came up with the mcOrgy - Beouf, poulet, poisson, et  porc a la bun. This is even more beastly. I only tried this once. Once was definitely enough.

More recently (today), I came up with a new invention....



The McBunsex!  (Image to be posted later).

If you're feeling a heavy carb load for a nice crash and energy drain, definitely try this one out! It might not taste the mightiest, but it certainly has an awesome and catchy name. What could McBunsex suggest? Well like the main suggests, it's from mcdonalds... and it has to do with buns. Its a bun within a bun...NO MEAT!

Other things I've tried that I highly suggest -

1) McIcecream with McApple Pie
2) McIcecream  with McIcedCoffee
3) McCoke.McCarbonated drink with McIcecream.
4) Potato party - Lots and Lots of supersize fries...$40 worth.
Enjoy!

Catch a guy stealing your bike, what would/do you do?

When you think of how you would react in certain situations, like having your bike stolen or being mugged, you'd probably think and hope that you'd either 1) Kick the guys ass and leave or 2) subdue him and then call the police.

I can say from personal experience, if you regularly fantasize about this kind of shit or think about it, you'll probably end up doing neither of the outcomes you expected. For example, I used to think that if someone was trying to steal from me, I'd lay the cracked head. Well I can say that, the opportunity presented itself and I didn't do what I expected.

Here's what happened...


I locked my bike up along with my girl's bike to a pole outside. I remember seeing this crackhead walking on the same street and then go into the store we were about to go into. So we thought nothing of it. We go inside and do our thing. As I'm coming back to the front of the store I see that same crack head touch my bike and he looked like he was examining the lock. So I run outside (briskly walked) and yelled at him "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?". He replies "Oh this is my bike".  I tell him its not, and that it belongs to me and to get the fuck away from it. He stops what he's doing and then asks about my girlfriends bike and whether its mine also. I tell him yes and to get the fuck away. I asked him if hes trying to steal my bike and he says yes. He then proceeds to say sorry and says "Respect". I tell him to leave before I call the cops. Meanwhile during this whole altercation, I'm wondering whether I should hit him or not. I can say I didn't hit him and I didn't proceed to kick his ass. He left without any violence.

Maybe if he attacked me it would've ended differently, but because he was compliant and didn't do anything else, I'm glad I didn't hit him. Though I feel like I should have.

Anyway, what would you guys do?

Bicycling... My new addiction

Recently got bit with the cycling bug, and I'm obsessed. My only obsession though is to be able to generate so much power from my two legs that I can keep up pace with traffic.. approximately 60km per hour. The kicker? Doing this with a cheap sub $300 old and USED (Not Vintage) entry level road bike. I recently switched over from a JAMIS trail X2 hard tail mountain bike, which is bitter sweet for me. My jamis was pretty nice looking, but it lacked the ability to pump out a higher top speed. My new OLD bike looks like shit.

See shit bike here:



What I did with this piece of shit bike

I duct taped it! check it out the beast now!


Also feast your eyes on this!

Pretty sexy eh?

While I didn't feel too happy riding the grey piece of shit. I can honestly say that after spending 8+ hours on this, I'm pretty happy with the results.  The only thing that is lacking is a logo... any suggestions?



My stats on biking so far?

Flat road: 45-47 km per hour for a short period of time.
Average trip speed: 21 km per hour
Bike weight: 27 Lbs (not your lightest)
Bike: Raleigh Record (shit)
wheels : 1 3/8 approximately.

I'm trying to not be the douchey roadies that you see on all over the city, hence the cheap road bike and hence the duct tape. I don't even get why they wear sponsored jerseys... they aren't sponsored. Would you wear a racing suit to go on a leisure drive? Probably not.

Anyway, for $200 bucks I can't complain. I have a road bike , with road gears, and mountain bike shifters. Ideally I would have a mountain bike, with road tires, and road gears, and disc breaks. This will come in time. For now, I'm equally content with my new revamped ride.

For anyone following my blog, come post your pictures of your rides! Lets see what you're riding. If you're in the toronto area, lets go ride!

ORIGAMI ASSOCIATES

Origami Associates
main contact: Nauman
Location: Mississauga
Website: http://origamiassociates.com/


My experience:

My partner and I paid this company upwards of $7000. What did we get for this large sum of money?

1) A website that doesn't function
2) A website that doesn't look up to standard. You're better off hiring off elance or odesk.
3) $7000 in the hole and a set back of about a year.

the websites we hired them to build was www.teamshuffle.com. What was delivered is best described through an analogy. Imagine a company pitching you their services for creating an awesome door. You're sold on the image and their friendliness. They then deliver the door and it turns out to be a piece of card board that vaguely looks like the one that was pitched. This is how my experience was with the website.

I had to take down the website due to its lack of functionality and appeal. What they do is they outsource their development to pakistan/india and charge a premium.

I brought this to the attention of Nauman, who was quick to help, but really, he's been trying to "help" for the last 2-3 months. There is nothing to show. The bugs aren't even fixed yet. He's promised me that he'd get back to me about a time line and also that the site would be redeveloped for appearance at no cost, due to the initial shotty workmanship. Well I can tell you this, he didn't follow through. He even tried to get more money from me. I told him no, for obvious reasons.

DO NOT WORK WITH THEM. CONTACT ME FIRST BEFORE IF YOU'D LIKE MORE INFORMATION.

SAUGAWEB DO NOT HIRE

Information about the company

weblink: www.saugaweb.com
http://saugaweb.com/v1/
name: Ali Khan
Location: Toronto GTA

If you want to talk to me about this guy send me an email at jonluu@boardered.com I'd be happy to discuss and provide reasons why you shouldn't hire this guy.

My experience:

I found this guy on craigslist and we spoke briefly, very friendly and responsive. We had an agreement, I paid him a portion of the fees upfront and then I started to hear from him infrequently. I gave him $800 sometime in september 2012. He sent me a link a few weeks back but other than that I have not heard from him. He has not consulted me with designs, has not made any effort to contact me. Once the first phase of the project is done, I'm not hiring him ever and I do not recommend hiring him. I'm not sure about other people's experience, but my experience with him was horrible.

DO NOT HIRE HIM.

Myth of inequality in America

We all know life is a race. It doesn't have to be that way, but unfortunately it is. How this relates? Well keeping this in mind, lets say we have two runners who are in a race. One person started earlier and has a 1000 meters advantage. The second runner started late, and so they are trying to catch up. Is it fair to ask the first runner to slow down? Sure its fair to ask. Is it fair to force them to slow down? No. Definitely not.

Now lets super impose this thought onto American society. Equality between Men and Women.

Men vs. Women.

Are men and women equal as of now?  Yes they are. In some cases men have an advantage and in others women have the advantage, but more or less they are equal as whole. In fact, a lot of the perceived advantages that men have are not due to inequality, but due to individual choice. For example, when it comes to positions in high places within corporations and wage rate. Women, however, make it seem as if all the corporations and the government plan in secret to keep them oppressed. This is not the case. On average, women just don't pick jobs or put themselves in the position for jobs that lead to those big roles. How many women opt to go into dangerous jobs? Or How many women choose to stay with a company long enough and take all the necessary steps to be in position to get that spot. Being put in those high places boils down to the employer making a decision on what would be best, usually based on opinion and merit of the applicant. If you have  two individuals (male and female) equal in all aspects (attractiveness, experience, time in, hours worked etc), ultimately it will boil down to the employers opinion of who would be better for the company. In a female run organization, I can confidently say they would pick the female; and it would be vice versa in a male run organization. So how is this unequal?

With regards to the pay gap, have you ever considered that it is a possibility that women work less hours overall than men? That they also pick jobs that make less, due to comfort and location? For example, working in the military or working in the oil fields. These jobs make on average $20 an hour. If a woman chose to work in an office setting as admin, it is more than likely they'd make less. No one is forecfully keeping women out of these jobs, it is really just based on preference of what they want to do.

If there are not enough businesses that are run by women, it just means women need to start more businesses. How is it fair for a man to hand off their business to a women just because she is a woman? Likewise, would it be fair that ask that women handed over control over their businesses to men? This is something that needs to be fixed over time, by women actually taking the steps to make businesses, not by men handing them over.

In some cases women have not been equal in the past and I don't deny that. I don't deny that women have had to come a long way to get where we are today and I also don't deny that it was a struggle. Today, in 2013, I cannot believe that women are not equal with men. I believe women actually have more of an advantage. Why? Women have become placed on a pedestal. Men are expected to provide for them, women have freedom to do almost whatever they want without repercussion - everything from hitting men, being rude to them, to being able to put a man behind bars quite easily. There are instances of this too, you just need to look them up on google! Maybe you've even experieneced it as well. Feminists really need to stop complaining and start actually doing things to make a difference. More action and less talk.

So how did we get to where we are today in terms of men running the world? It is nature and genetics. That is just how we were made. Men, on average, are genetically stronger than women physically, and so that lead to them being dominant. Women are, by nature ,supposed to be the nurturers and the ones who carry the baby, which make them more vulnerable during pregnancy. Men are not to blame for this. This is just how nature is and how we are. That is how inequality started and how gender roles formed. If we want to move forward, we really need to start moving away from blaming men for advantages that nature gave them. Over years and years of developing these roles, we reached the norms that we have today for men and women. That is just the way things are. Where we are today, women are more than equal to men, and it shows. They may not be in the high position places within corporations (explained above) or may overall make less (also explained above), but on an hourly wage for the same job, same hours worked, same amount of work completed, they make the same. They are able to abort a baby without the consent of a man and expect to receive child support (unfair), they are able to get away with assaulting a man , men are expected to take care of women, whether they need it or not (unfair), and etc.

Men started the race with advantages of being stronger and etc. Over time this led to having an advantage. Is it really fair to force men to step down from their places of power so that women can catch up? Men are doing this and so we need to drop this feminist bullshit.
