Website Colors

Yesterday's post showed the new color scheme used on my updated media server. I liked this color scheme so much that I decided to change Mass-IMO's color to match. And so here we are with the newly redesigned Mass-IMO blog.
While I don't think the colors match exactly, its the closest I could get, so...if anyone knows the exact HEX# for RUST-OLEUMS Satin Oasis Blue, I would love to know it, so send me a message.

Media Server Makeover

An unsought inspiration came to me as I was walking the aisle's of my local RONA hardware store. I was in the paint isle, and came across RUST-OLEUM's Satin Oasis Blue. I was thinking about how cool my server would look in this color. I've been rocking the black and green (bl-een) color since 2010, maybe it was time for a change.

Christmas Prank Of 2016

Where to go for Christmas? As adults, determining where to go for the Christmas holidays becomes an intricate and interesting exercise, one that my girlfriend, Nadia, and I find ourselves discussing every year. Do we host, inviting over all our closest friends and family, or do we accept other invitations, in the hopes of not offending anyone by declining?  Do people even get offended if you decline, or is this a glimpse into my possibly narcissistic personality? Whatever the case, 2016 seemed to have already decided where we would be spending our Christmas.

Recently, in September of 2016, Loblaws corporation opened a new supermarket in Oliver, B.C. under the 'No Frills' banner. As a 26 year member of the Loblaws family, under the 'Real Canadian Superstore' supermarket banner, this recent opening should have had little to no impact on my life here in Vancouver, but it has! You see, Nadia's parents, Rosa and Joe, moved to Osoyoos, B.C. 13 years ago after retiring. The town of Osoyoos is a 10 minute drive to the 'No Frills' supermarket in Oliver, which is a much shorter trip than the 30 minute drive to the 'Superstore' located in Penticton, B.C. Rosa and Joe are so fond of the new 'No Frills' that they refuse to go back to 'Superstore', a point they are all too happy to express with me, whenever the chance permits itself.

Feeding Vancouver's Homeless 2016

Even though the Mass-IMO website is still undergoing changes, and won't officially resume operation until early 2017, I couldn't allow this event to go on without promoting it.
I've been promoting and attending the annual feeding the homeless events for the past few years, and its never ceases to amaze me.
Today I received, a hand delivered, official 11th annual leaflet (as shown below) detailing this years Servants of Hope event that starts at 6pm on Monday, December 19th.

Starting To Take Shape

The site is coming along...

As many know this blog was at a standstill when it became overrun with bugs. While I was never able to eliminate these bugs, I did manage to figure out clever ways to circumvent them. It's quite possible these bugs are standard to BLOGGER's code and only become evident after certain tweaking or changes. Whatever the reason for the problems, they seem to be resolved for now (fingers crossed).

I've changed to a new color scheme, which coincidentally I just realized is quite similar to Formula 1's new drivers champion Nico Rosberg's signature color. 

Honestly this must have been done subconsciously, as you'll soon see in upcoming posts (hint,hint).  

There's still so much more that needs to be done before re-launching www.mass-imo.com, but things are starting to take shape.
