On Hiatus

Hey everyone, I've decided that it's time to officially announce, that this blog is on hiatus. Life is wonderful, yet forever changing, and for this reason it's time for me to also make some changes. 

Blogging has been so personally rewarding, and I appreciate all the support. However I can no longer find the time required to put articles together in a timely manner. As such going forward updates will be few and far apart, if any.

I want to give a big shout out to all those that have supported me, and who knows what the future may hold...

Cut The Cord: New Years Edition

It's been a while since I discussed cord-cutting, so for all those interested here's an update.

I still swear by Trakt as my go to for keeping track of all the TV shows that are watched throughout the house. If you have never used Trakt check out my previous post here.

Recently I started using RealDebris, an unrestricted downloading service which will alleviate buffering for most serve on-demand content such as movies and tv shows. While it's not a perfect solution, it really does help with finding solid online content as well as minimizing buffering. However, something to consider with RealDebris is that it's not a free service! While it is quite reasonably priced, I bought a 6 month subscription for about $24CDN, working out to be just under $4CDN a month, it's still an added cost. I may check out other services in the future, and if anyone has a suggestion to other similar services, leave a comment.

Recently I've been using both Typhoon TV, and TVZion as my main TV and Movie watching android app. I switched because both Typhoon TV and TVZion integrates well with both Trakt and RealDebris, so I can get solid streams, and keep track of the shows I watch.

Now, I do want to say they are both awesome, and each in its own unique way, however they both lack a feature I've grown to love with my other android apps, That feature is the ability to have an embedded Trakt progress option, which lists the episodes you're behind on, in chronological order. Fingers crossed it's something that will be implemented.

You can download the files directly from my Google drive

Episode 11: What Is Panna?

Episode 11: What Is Panna?

Panna is a street soccer game that is played 1V1 or 2V2 within a small cage or mini-arena. A "Panna" is playing the ball through your opponents legs (nutmeg). The ball may touch your opponent while playing it through the legs. The ball must be in your possession in order for a ball played through the legs to count.

Prior to this week, I had never heard of, or seen this game called panna.
It's obvious I'm just not the cool kid anymore (was I ever?).
So is this a thing here in Canada?

Episode 10: Feeding The Homeless

Episode 10: Feeding The Homeless

Wait, What?

Yes, I know. This isn't exactly something I just learned about, the servants of hope have been doing this for 14 years now.

Yes, I know. I've attended a few of these over the years.

Yes, I know. It's at Pigeon Park, the heart of the Vancouver's downtown East-side.

Yes, I know. They feed hundreds of people on this one night.

Yes, I know. Those interested in offering donation or wanting to help can call Sean at 604-720-9335

So Mass, what exactly was it that you learned this week?

Well, firstly, I learned that December 20, 2019 at 6pm is when this years annual Feeding The Homeless will take place.

Secondly, sometimes its nice to look back and re-learn something as if it was the first time. I learned that we have to appreciate and value everything we have, and that it just takes one act of kindness, and selflessness to create something wonderful, that helps so many.
