The Tim Hortons Roll Up The Rim contest starts today! In keeping with the 5-year-old tradition, I am beginning my assignment of taking pictures and recording statistics of all my cups! Last year was a subpar record of 4-60, so hopefully this year I am lucky enough to beat it. Having a fever and a [...]

If you haven’t heard, Tim Hortons has a few locations in Calgary that also serve Cold Stone Creamery ice cream. The combining of the stores was an experiment in the USA first, then they started moving into Ontario and finally, Calgary. Cold Stone Creamery is similar to a Marble Slab – you pick your ice [...]

With no more Tim Hortons Roll Up The Rim cups anywhere in Calgary anymore, now is probably a great time to put a pretty bow on this year’s contest results. This year’s 4 – 60 record was a particularly bad year, and rivals my historically worst year – in 2005 I had only won 3 [...]

Dad’s Birthday was a few days ago, and so I decided to give him something for his coffee addiction – a shiny Rancilio Rocky. Grinds wonderfully consistent. We’re not connoisseurs in coffee, but we will be soon. Ack, I’m missing two cups somewhere! Current Statistics: Record: 3 – 39 Spent: $66.80 Won: $7.47 Probability: 15.93% [...]

We got refreshed laptops at work, and I was lucky enough to choose this snazzy Lenovo X200s. Its a wonderful combination of being super tiny and light-weight, perfect for those 1.5 hour long bus rides to work. And I’ve only won once since the brier last week. Sad indeed. Current Statistics: Record: 2 – 30 [...]

I finally won my first coffee, which dragged me out of the dirt to only slightly below average. Also went to the Brier on Monday night, which was super exciting/confusing/puzzling/awesome. Current Statistics: Record: 1 – 18 Spent: $30.35 Won: $2.49 Probability: 25.34% [RUTR 2009 Progress]

So while I’ve given up on the prospect of winning a single cup this year, I’ve moved on to other more leisurely activities. Killzone 2, released last Friday, is a fairly solid Playstation 3 game which I much enjoy. It dulls the pain from the constant Roll Up The Rim losses… temporarily, anyways. Current Statistics [...]

Long time friend, Director Nick, sends a rather loving note and great little gift to celebrate my Roll Up The Rim addiction. The little contraption with the letter is a Rimroller. Yes, its the same Rimroller featured on the Dragons’ Den. Nick is a man of good taste – he has also helped me take [...]

I must not go through the chip aisle in the grocery a lot, because its the first time I’ve seen this special “unidentified flavour” of Doritos. They’re spicy and not terribly unique, so consider yourself warned. Current Statistics: Record: 0 – 6 Spent: $9.68 Won: $0.00 Probability: 49.33% [RUTR 2009 Progress]

Only had one steeped tea this morning, and of course it was a loss. Today was a scary day, as I had watched 28 Days Later with Michelle (yes, I’m 7 years behind). Must stop watching scary-type movies at night because my imagination is too active. Current Statistics (Updated 2/24/2009): Record: 0 – 3 Spent: [...]
