This is a pretty cool data visualization tool which shows who is moving to and from various countries in the world, top destinations and more. This types into a recent article (which I can’t find now but there are many web sites making the same claim) that Canada needs to push its population to 100 […]

Happy Belated Anniversary To Me!
Having been sick for the last couple days, I missed a pretty significant milestone that I meant to blog about. Just over a year ago, I took the leap and moved from the blog I’d been using for four years to a new platform, a new host and a new domain. On pretty much every […]
Friday Fun Link – Mlkshk
If you don’t yet have enough social network news feeds in your life and/or if you think a picture’s worth a thousand words, you might be interested in MlkShk, a site that is like many other social networks except that it focuses on the sharing of pictures and graphics instead of words and links.

One obvious one is that Facebook is a “social” network which regards individuals […]
Friday Fun Link – MetaFilter 12th Anniversary Memories
In addition to the traditional anniversary post which echoes the very first MetaFilter post twelve years ago, this year MetaFilter’s owner decided to solicit user comments on their fondest memories about the site on a very special domain– some of which are funny, some are romantic and some of which are poignant. (And some of which […]
Some More Google+ Thoughts
Is Google+ a hit? Well, I basically haven’t checked Facebook in a week so you tell me! One thing that really helped keep me on G+ was that a Redditor came up with a way for their members to add themselves to a spreadsheet using Google Docs, let anyone import that into Gmail and then […]
