Hard to believe I’ve been on my new blog for what, a month and a half now, and haven’t yet had the opportunity to tag a post with “hockey” yet. (Cue happy smiles from the majority of my readership! :-)) But I happened to be at a meeting tonight when my iPhone made that very […]

Saturday Snap – Illegal U-turn = Crunch!
I put this on Facebook but thought I’d post it here too since it was so out of the ordinary. Between Calgary, London and Regina, I’ve probably spent hundreds of hours on public transit without any accidents. Until yesterday that was. We were on our way downtown in the morning when I heard a long […]
The Face of Facebook – Mark Zuckerberg Profile in The New Yorker
A well-written profile of Facebook’s founder and CEO. I’m not a huge fan of the guy but that’s mostly because he refused to add me as a friend when I first joined Facebook. 🙁 (via MetaFilter)
Good Article, Great Photo! The Creative Commons at Work
Shea was a bit surprised to see this article show up on Facebook tonight, especially since this random blog post happened to feature a picture of Shea and Pace breastfeeding. Turns out an acquaintance of Shea’s from a mommy board (but who Shea’s never met in person and is someone who likely wouldn’t know what […]
Which Tribe Do You Lead?
Seth Godin giving a TedTalk on the tribes we lead – the idea that we’re passed the age of marketing and back to an old fashioned idea that our main influence is the people around us (but now, we have technology instead of campfires to tell our stories around.) Lots of relevant ideas whether you’re […]
Twitter: 10 Insights
I’m using Twitter a lot more than I used to but still mostly for the links/information that others post rather than as an active contributor myself (other than the occasional “what I had for lunch”-style tweet or FourSquare update.) Still, this is an interesting article about some of the main things researchers have discovered about […]
Wikipedia: Lost Functionalities (and The Only Two Sites I’d Miss If I Had To Choose)
This article is a really good summary of some of the things that have been lost in Wikipedia over the years ranging from the ability to solve disputes simply to the ability to do text dumps into an article trusting that someone else will come along and wikify it. On that note, for anybody interested […]
Friday Fun Link – Load “$”,8, 1
Commodore is apparently releasing a new computer with modern specs but featuring the old-style casings. As the C64 was the first computer I worked on *way* back in grade six, I think I may just have to put in a request to Santa Claus! Here’s a really quick nerd test – do the following two […]
2010 Blog Survey
I did a survey the first couple years I had this blog to see what readers liked (and didn’t like) as well as what improvements I could make. I didn’t bother to do the survey last year since I realised that the answers hadn’t changed significantly from year to year (people heavily preferred posts about […]
