Today I received a review copy of the upcoming episode of Dianne Buckner's Fortune Hunters that airs this weekend on CBC Newsworld. I'm always happy and willing to receive movies, TV shows, books, and other media, and I promise to be both honest and relatively prompt with my review.

While I was not able to watch the first and debut episode of Fortune Hunters that aired last Saturday, I enjoyed watching the second quite a bit. Of course I do have some criticism to share, which I will detail below, however the overall production and content of the show was great, creating an entertaining and informative half hour.

The stated mission of the show is to focus on the hottest trends, with a focus on how to capitalize and make money off of them, hence the title, Fortune Hunters. Each episode has a theme, and this second installment is about the "web".

This post inaugurates a new category on my site that involves the semi-regular review of chicken souvlaki dinners served at Greek Restaurants. The benefit of such a review is the comparison of the same dish served at different restaurants, providing an interesting view of each establishment.

On occasion, my wife Emily and I go out in search of chicken souvlaki. We do this in part because it's comfort food, so if either one of us is feeling ill, we can still go out and enjoy ourselves. We also tend to go exploring, out for a drive into parts of the city we're not familiar with, or in new cities, and all over North America there are Greek restaurants serving chicken souvlaki.

Now that I've updated my website, my plan is to round out my blog by writing more reviews and bring to your attention sites and resources that I find particularly interesting or valuable.

One site in particular is the Tea Makers, which is run by Alphonse Ouimet, a pseudonym inspired by a former Canadian Broadcasting Corpoation (CBC) President.

Ouimet's blog is largely concerned with the CBC, and all the many issues, incidents, intrigue, and general intelligence that surrounds its operation.

In any organization or society, gossip plays an important and powerful role, and Ouimet has semi-accidentally setup an intelligence network that provides the readers of the site with incredible insight into the company as a whole.

I'm just about finished watching the first season of The Tudors TV show. Set in 16th century Europe, the show is an excellent blend of sex, politics, religion, history, and of course violence that makes for entertaining television.
