Karl Wiebe: rants, raves and reviews. Wednesday, February 18, 2015. U2: THE DEFINITIVE BIOGRAPHY (Book Review). I love U2. I remember sitting in grade 8 art class, painting some watercolour of a potted plant and the teacher was cool enough to put on The Joshua Tree. As we painted. I baked donuts in the early 1990s and listened to Achtung Baby. In the kitchen. Great memories! Nothing in a book would every destroy those. Playing in the background. What I really enjoyed about this book was the business side...

Karl Wiebe: rants, raves and reviews. Tuesday, October 28, 2014. LANGUAGE: I KNOW, RIGHT? English is a difficult language. I work with people who know multiple languages—Russian, German, and many others. One lady even knows Swahili! Or so she says… it really only works if there is another person around who can vouch for it. One Swahili-speaking person = not impressive. TWO Swahili-speaking people = awesome! Speaking of language: one annoying phrase is the old “I know, right? Person: I know, right? You...

Karl Wiebe: rants, raves and reviews. Saturday, November 29, 2014. JOHN FOGERTY CONCERT - SCOTIABANK SADDLEDOME. One of the first records I ever heard my parents play. Fogerty played a couple of years ago at the Corral (a much smaller venue) and did not sell out, so I knew there was no way that he was selling out the 19,000-seat Saddledome. Lucky me! Had Fogerty died a couple of weeks ago and this was the whole show? When I was three years old, I had a ViewFinder, which is a kid's toy (like binoculars) a...

Karl Wiebe: rants, raves and reviews. Friday, April 3, 2015. CGC CASE - POSSIBLE SCAM? I really like CGC. As a comic-book collector, I like the idea that if I pay big money for a high-end collectible comic book, I am going to get the grade that I paid for. If you are new to collecting slabbed comics, CGC stands for Certified Guarantee Company. And they are the premier grading company in the business. There are a few reasons why you might want to get a book slabbed:. Much to my surprise, I grabbed the sla...

Karl Wiebe: rants, raves & reviews: NIGHTCRAWLER (Film Review)
http://karlwiebe.blogspot.com/2015/05/nightcrawler-film-review.html
Karl Wiebe: rants, raves and reviews. Monday, May 18, 2015. Nightcrawler just showed up on Netflix yesterday so I jumped at the chance to see it—I really like the types of films that Jake Gyllenhaal chooses. Enemy. Are just a few of the creepy movies that he enjoys being a part of. Gyllenhaal is a big part of the movie Nightcrawler—a film about a guy who chases down death and injury in Los Angeles, sneaking around filming people at their worst and then selling it to the news channels.

Karl Wiebe: rants, raves and reviews. Monday, June 30, 2014. MIKE TYSON: Undisputed Truth (Book Review). What does it mean to be a fan of Mike Tyson? Growing up in the 1980s, I thought Mike Tyson was the greatest fighter ever—being able to knock out another professional fighter in 8 seconds sounded like a great skill to have in junior high school. The book is called "Mike Tyson: Undisputed Truth. Isn't that the same thing? This book does not answer those questions, but they do explore Tyson's view of "wh...

Karl Wiebe: rants, raves & reviews: Creepy Comic Book Ads
http://karlwiebe.blogspot.com/2015/07/creepy-comic-book-ads.html
Karl Wiebe: rants, raves and reviews. Sunday, July 12, 2015. Creepy Comic Book Ads. One of the best parts about reading old comic books are the advertisements. I dug out an old Batman comic from the 1970s and was thoroughly enjoying the Dark Knight beating up some bad guys, but I have to say, I had forgotten about x-ray glasses and practical joke kits. As a kid, I thought these were awesome! As an adult. they are kind of weird and creepy. Which make them entertaining for entirely different reasons. MARVE...

Karl Wiebe: rants, raves and reviews. Saturday, February 22, 2014. I get that the rotation of the Earth plays a major role in a lot of what goes on—tides, the sun rising, etc etc. That's fine. But it is extremely annoying having the Winter Olympics over in Russia. I mean, the games are on during the workday. This is just another example of my career getting in the way of me sitting around watching TV all day. Hey, no big deal! Hey, no big deal! Only that I had to download an app for the CBC Olympics.
