And the winners are…
So here it is… those who are invited to enjoy dinner, a drink or two, and a movie at Boston Pizza along with me this week!

Should be a fun time! Oh, and in a landslide… Grown Ups is the chosen movie.
We can discuss this over Pizza and Thai Chicken though thanks to the awesome people like Calvin at Boston Pizza! Btw, if you go… tell them I sent you and they’ll hook you up with 15% off your meal! (Saves the HST and then some!)
So you 5… how does Tuesday sound? And 7:20 movie or 10:05 movie?
If we do the late movie, dinner beforehand… if we do the earlier movie, dinner afterwards? What do you think?
The Sun is Effing Cool!
Above is a time lapse camera of the sun over the course of 2 days. What you’re seeing is an active sunspot that’s turning towards Earth now. Majestic it is, but these sunspots are also responsible for the Aurora Borealis, or more commonly called The Northern Lights, and can also, if they get too active, cause detrimental effects to our power grid and communication abilities.
Damn it’s beautiful though.
Twitter’s New Search Feature – Names
I haven’t seen this posted anywhere else, so perhaps I’m the first to document it! (Ha)
But Twitter seems to have just launched a brand new feature with Twitter Search – Name Results.
Anytime you search a topic, Twitter will suggest 3 people to follow who share your search topic’s name. It seems anyone may appear on these as long as you are unique enough to not have your name shared with a celebrity. I appear under Bussey, but not Zach (Damn you Zach Galifikinasisisis).
Who knows if this will translate into more followers, but it can’t hurt I guess.
Update 1: As I continue to play around with it, it seems follower-following ratio plays a serious part in if you appear there or not. Those who follow few, but are followed by many seem to be exclusively in this new feature.
Update 2: Congrats Casie you appear!
Update 3: Looks like they just disabled it.
Free Dinner, Free Movie. It’s not a date!
Lol, so apparently the idea of going on a “date” with me is so vile.. so disturbing.. that no one wants to go, even knowing that there will be 6 of us, and with everything (besides tips) being free.
Feelings are so hurt right now. Someone have a long rope I can borrow? Lol.
So let’s start over.
Because Boston Pizza are the best people in the world, they’ve hooked me up with the ability to hook YOU up with free dinner and a free movie.
Call it a Tweetup that you don’t have to pay for!
If you would like to join with what will be a fun group of people (as friends!), in the comments below, tell me which movie you’d like to see – Predators or Grown Ups.
Sidenote: Guys welcome. Girls welcome. If you’re gay, lesbian, straight.. no problem! Married? In a relationship? Single? All good! It’s just fun to meet people from Twitter, and over food and drinks and movies, makes it that much sweeter.
I’ve got space for 5 people, so if more than 5 are interested, will be done by random draw. But you’re welcome to join us anyway, I just can’t cover your bill :)
Date Zach Bussey!
Courtesy of my amazing friends at Boston Pizza, I get to offer my readers the opportunity to go out on a date with me!
Now, because I have both male and female readers, rather than it being a 1 on 1 date, let’s have a group date. So, here’s what I’m thinking, you, me and hmm.. 4 others, we’ll go out for dinner sometime early next week at Boston Pizza (Yonge + Sheppard)… then afterwards we’ll go see a movie at the movie theater right next door.
The only thing you need to bring is some cash to tip the lovely servers at Boston Pizza and other cash, if you want to buy a drink at the theater!
So to enter, tell me which movie we should see in the comments below – Predators or Grown Ups.
(If more than 5 people enter, will be selected by random draw).
