Years before I was a BlackBerry addict, I was a curling addict. Growing up in rural Manitoba, Canada, it's a popular winter sport and one that I sunk my 10,000+ hours into before I turned 20. I'm still passionate for the sport -- and still have some mad curling skillz -- but don't have the time to commit to play competitively like I used to. So instead of hitting the rink, for the past couple of seasons I've sponsored the McEwen Curling team (they even let me hold the position of 5th man in the 2010/11 season).
Team McEwen has been tearing up the sport the last few years, rising through the ranks of pro curling and racking up the World Curling Tour and Grand Slam wins. They've been on tv several times now in the finals of these games, repping CrackBerry.com on their team gear.
One of the big televised events coming up in 2013 is the The Dominion All-Star Curling Skins game on TSN, and this year they're opening it up to a fan-based vote to decide which of the top teams will get to play. Voting is now open and runs through to December 10th, and you can re-visit the site each day to cast your ballot.
So if you're a fan of CrackBerry and Curling, jump on over to TSN's website and vote for:
Skip: Mike McEwen
Third: B.J. Neufeld
Second: Matt Wozniak
Lead: Denni Neufeld
Hurry over and vote! And to learn more about Team McEwen, you can jump over to McEwenCurling.com. They're good guys, and yes... they're taking part in Movember too!

Hockey fans - NHL GameCenter now available for Blackberry 10
What I know about Hockey I could write on the back of a postage stamp! But I do know a great app when I see one and NHL GameCenter falls right into that category. For some strange reason it seems that the new BlackBerry 10 application is not available for users in America. I'm slightly baffled why as I thought hockey was pretty big over there. Anyway, that may just be a small glitch...
CrackBerry Asks: What did you think of BlackBerry's Super Bowl commercial?
Watch the Super Bowl ad here! BlackBerry's oft-teasedBlackBerry Z10 ad for the Super Bowl just aired, and we're generally pretty happy with it. The ad was definitely more imaginative than Samsung's marginally funny, overbudgeted 2-minute spot, but what did you guys think? Did this need to be more punchy, like what we saw from these guys? Or was BlackBerry smart to be punching their...
