COUSINEAU - VICTOR (VIC) JOSEPH
January 5,1921 -October 21, 2006

Vic, a smiling presence in the lives of all who knew him, passed away peacefully at St. Michael's Hospice in Burnaby.

Dear Mr. Sacks:

You horrible, horrible man.

Given that I haven't managed to post anything else here for, um, forever, I thought I'd just link to this mildly amusing article on Warning Signs for Tomorrow.

They say it's my birthday.

For my birthday, the CBC gave me the Canucks versus the Red Wings. In useless standard def! Argh! What next, a show that consists of nothing but Rick Mercer making fun of BC?

At this point, it's not that HDTV even looks really good, it's just that standard def makes my eyes bleed.

Why yes, I am spoiled. Thank you for noticing.

In a few minutes, I'm going to Guu for my birthday dinner. Because it's delicious. and because I can't stand to watch the game in SDTV.

The answer is here. The question is "where do I find weekly ratings data for Canadian television?" The reason is this engaging debate on the CBC blog.

BBM is reasonably generous with its data, providing not only the current week, but also archives going back as far as 2003.
