For an interesting counterpoint to Meili's position on the possibility of a nuclear reaction for Saskatchewan (see below), read Dr. Jim Harding's excellent essay on Dwain Lingenfelter's position, “Trapped by History“. (Edit: Accidental Deliberations has more on this subject as well.)—NEWS RELEASEMarch 31, 2009FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASENuclear Power: Not a Viable SolutionRyan Meili calls of NDP […]
I guess if I'm doing corrections, I should make sure I use precise language. Correcting myself that Dwain Lingenfelter's Google Maps mash-up isn't misleading isn't entirely accurate either. It *is* misleading, just not in the way that I said it was. It's not misleading in that it contains information about non-existent events as I originally […]
Loyal reader, Kent posted a comment in response to my last post about Dwain Lingenfelter's Google Map mash-up to tell me that I was wrong – the map does work and every push pin does have information about an event, you just have to click on the right *spot* on the push pin. I'm big […]

Warren L. from Libre-arian has a post summing up his experiences at FIMS (including a shout-out to yours truly.) Not sure if I mentioned before but while I was at FIMS, someone told me that as soon as you're done the program (really, as soon as you hand in your last assignment because, really, if […]
An article detailing results of Canadian internet users' views on file sharing. Nearly 45% of respondents say those who use P2P and file sharing services to download music and movies are “just regular Internet users doing what people should be able to do on the Internet. An additional 27% admit these people are “doing something […]
Our recent trip to Vegas made me think that I should do an entry where I list all of the sites I tend to visit (roughly in order) when you want to find out everything you can about any topic (ie. the “stay up until 4am the night before you leave” kinda topics).* Google* Wikipedia […]
I wanted to keep the political theme of my last couple posts going so went a' searching for a relevant song I had in mind (in title if not in actual sentiment). This live gem popped up hitting on a number of notes – it's from a concert in li'l London, it's from the first […]
