Honda Reveals New Insight
Honda has just unveiled their new Prius buster the “Insight” at the Paris auto show. When this car hits the North American shores next spring it is rumored to come in at $5000 less than a comparable Toyota Prius. Although I just purchased a new Nissan Versa this past year the new Insight is something I will seriously look into for the daily commute.

Gnarly Head Old Vine Zin
A few weeks ago my brother gave me a bottle of Gnarly Head Old Vine Zin for looking after his cat Verbal while he was away at the Junos in Calgary. I finally decided to crack it open and try it the other night.

Our Table Arrives
Finally after waiting for almost 2 months our table we ordered is arriving today. We purchased a dining table from a furniture store that shall go unnamed because I will probably never order from there again because of the runaround in getting the table. But at least it is finally on the delivery truck.

The table we ordered is called the Chunk Dining Table from a company called Gus Modern out of Toronto.

A little project I’m working on
I have been working on a new project lately and it is finally almost ready to fully launch. It is a new website called App Alley that will feature iPhone and iPod touch Apps. There is just the welcome page up right now as the coding and layout and back end get finished up but more content should be up by the begging of next week with a formal launch coming soon.

Meet Mr. Sawyer
Last week Jason and I went to the SPCA and adopted a new cat into the family. Mr. Sawyer is his name and he is getting along great with The Monkey. He was in the SPCA awaiting adoption for over 6 months so needless to say he is glad he is in a new permanent home.

Last night I decided to enjoy a bottle of wine that my brother brought me back from his last trip to California. The V. Sattui 2005 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is unfortunately only available at the winery so I most likely won’t be able to enjoy another for some time. To bad considering this was one of the tastiest wines I have had in a long time. It actually not to often that I drink an entire bottle in one evening but this Napa Vally Cabernet Sauvignon was one of them.

From the V. Sattui website:

A skillful, Bordeaux-like blend of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon (mostly from Preston Vineyard,) Petit Verdot, Merlot and Malbec, this is a smooth-textured and silky Cabernet with deep, earthy flavors of dried mushrooms, tobacco and sage that gain intensity in the finish. Drink now and throughout the decade with steak au poivre, steak Diane or beef Stroganoff.
