That's "Grande" In Starbucks Lingo

I’m a little disturbed that I forgot to hang on to those thin cardboard 3-D glasses I had in the 80’s -- because next Monday CTV will be airing Medium in 3-D. Viewers can pick up their free pair of 3-D glasses in this Saturday’s Globe & Mail.

I’m excited about the whole thing. Francine just started to shake her head and said, "I’m not wearing those stupid glasses to watch a television program." But I’m pretty sure that she’ll come around once the show starts. (I also remember that 3-D movies were not necessarily easy on the naked eye to watch -- I recall that, when you watched a film shot in 3-D without the glasses, the picture seemed blurry, like a weak satellite signal or an ancient television picture tube)

But I’m not about to buy two copies of the Globe & Mail - especially not the more expensive Saturday edition. Besides, I barely have time to read one copy of the paper, never mind two. So I’m reaching out, asking anyone who regularly reads Saturday’s Globe & Mail and doesn’t watch Medium. Can I borrow your glasses. I’ll give ‘em back, you know, in case they start airing reality television programming in 3-D.

Oh my goodness, Dianne and I had the same conversation last night ... well it went like this:

Dianne: Oh this will be so much fun, we get to wear 3-D glasses!!

Magda: We are going to be such geeks wearing 3-D glasses for a t.v. show!

But then we are so hooked on Medium that it seems this will be a necessity afterall! And now we are going to be trying to hunt down our own glasses before next week too. I would love to help you out, but even if I find some extra pairs, I don' know that they would get there in time :)

That is the coolest! Enjoy your
3-D episode. I wish they would do Desperate Housewives in 3-D. Imagine the boobage.

You can definately count on an extra pair of glasses from me. As I don't own a television, I must buy newspapers to keep up on the news. Then again, there is always google...

If you think that's kewl... it is the tip of the iceberg... the good folk at IBM have a demo model of a new 3D technology that they showed off at the 22nd annual Flat Information Displays conference. It will allow you to get high-resolution 3D images from a large-screen television or home-cinema projector. So... that kinda boobage is only a couple years away. ; )

Hi Mark,

They announced on the news tonight, that they will be giving out the 3D glasses for "Medium" at Union Station tomorrow. :)

Good Luck
